A prequel , some parts more interesting than others, but faithful to the continuity
I really enjoyed reading this collection of RED stories. The first four stories each featured one of the main characters from the R.E.D. movies: Joe, Victoria, Marvin, and Frank. They provided a background into each character. We get to see Victoria falling in love with Ivan, and then of course the infamous "3 shots to the upper right of the chest" which means love. Joe was a real hard ass and Frank as well, and the ending....cold blooded indeed. Marvin is Marvin, crazy and over the top, but we
This was somewhat of a let down after reading the original Red by Warren Ellis and drawn by Cully Hammer. RED: Better R.E.D. Than Dead consists of 5 separate stories. The first four being each a background story for the four characters from the Red MOVIE and it’s sequel, and written by Jon and Erich Hoeber, the writers of both films. The artists varied in each story. The art in these four ranged from meh to pretty good. Of these four stories the one about Frank, from the films, was the best.The
Almost makes me want to watch the movie!
I had hoped for so much more from this! I adore the first RED movie, and was hoping for some new stories about the characters. Instead what we mostly get in a slight re-hash and explanation of a lot of things that we're already told in the movie. Victoria and Ivan, the history with Marvin and the government . . . this was all known canon and I'd been looking for more. For what it is, the graphic novel is good. I'd just wanted something different than what was delivered.
Normally I'd be beside myself that they would bastardize the film to release this solely for a cash grab, but Cully Hammer pulled this one out of his ass without Warren Ellis, who chose not to participate in these. Not too shabby.RED: Better RED Than Dead is a prequel that answers the questions the film presented, which is really how Paul (now Frank in this to go with the film) Moses, Victoria, Joe, and Marvin became the REDs essentially.Moses is ready to retire. He's getting a conscious about t...
The Red comics never tried to do something really original, but in the Ellis/Hamner miniseries and in the Hamner one-shot the action was generally well corepgraphed, stylish and creative. The other stories kinda bored me, apart from Red: Marvin, which at least was weird and extremely fast-paced.
Each story centers around one of the four characters in the movie. They are all smart and enjoyable, very much like the movie, but a great deal shorter and not connected in any way. I would have liked a longer series with these characters, but four of the issues collected here were likely intended only to advertise the movie.Moses wants out of the CIA because he was finding it difficult to live with the things he has done. Leaving the CIA is unusual, so he gets assigned one more cushy job guardi...
Las preguntas que tenías sobre la juventud de los Retirados Extremadamente Peligrosos se responden aquí. Y si, siempre han sido geniales, aunque éste cómic es significativamente menos cómico que las películas.
