Mister Blank Exhaustive Collection

Rating:
Summary: Highly Enjoyable
Review: Mister Blank is a great addition to the canon of sci-fi graphic novels. It is a story that has everything: robots, flying vessels, kooky scientists, power-hungry demigods, a new perspective on Creation, and of course, the presence of the everyman (Sam Smith) as the story's hero. Chris Hicks thrusts the reader from the mundane, button-pushing lifestyle of normality into the breathtaking world of excitement, reminding us that a little action every once in a while will not hurt anybody. If you seek to break through to the other side of fantastic, I highly recommend this book!

Summary: One of the best Graphic Novel/Trades I've ever come across
Review: The first true adventure in the graphic form I have seen in a long time, MISTER BLANK proceeds in paces from the mundane to the slightly queer to the incredible to the millennia-spanning epic over the course of its path. Christopher Hicks pens the most rollicking good time I've experienced in years; his imagination is expansive. From guys and dolls to mimes and mad scientists to robots and clones to nigh-immortals and Liltih, Hicks lucidly creates and populates a world in which the true heroes are merely everyday men (with just a touch of moxie!). MISTER BLANK: THE EXHAUSTIVE COLLECTION gets my highest recommendation as an amazing tale that one can't help but return to over and again throughout the years.

Summary: Wonderful Fun!
Review: This roller-coaster of an adventure throws so many plot twists and characters into the mix that you might get confused if you weren't having such a good time. "Mister Blank" offers up a stylishly retro version of the present -- the story at first seems to revolve around the giant, sinister N corporation, but what could be a sad tale of a powerless everyguy soon turns into a golden-age fantasy of giant blimps and robots with really cool hats. Hicks' fluid, iconic graphics and snappy dialogue keep the reader engaged in what becomes a perilously complex plot by the final pages. This is a marvellous addition to anyone's collection, and a great entry point for folks who don't often read comics but are looking for something different.
