Este es otro tomo que pille saldado en Getxo y este es por culpa de escuchar el podcast especial de porros y tetas que hicieron los de "Charrando de Tebeos". Y esta vez si que ha merecido la pena, y mas tendiendo en cuenta que me salió por 3 veces menos de su precio oficial. Que se puede decir, es Frank Cho haciendo lo que mejor hace y dando su vision de Shanna.En su visión la tenemos salida de un tanque donde parece que unos científicos nazis la tenían criando como futura arma letal ya que tien...
Oh, hello reader. I've just finished my copy of Shanna, The She-Devil – A rousing tale about the often contentious relationship between man and nature. Won't you join me as we delve deeper into this nuanced piece of literature?*Fastens monocle*Our adventure takes place in the Savage Land, a hidden realm of prehistoric terror where the battle for survival never ends. Here, dinosaurs still roam the earth, laughing in the face of natural selection. The Cretaceous–Tertiary extinction event only serv...
I like the original Shanna more than the new Shanna, but this was still a fun story.
Holy buckets! Get used to that phrase, as well as seeing Shanna, the most voluptuous woman in comics. I like Cho's work, and bought this mostly for his art work. He has clear lines, good use of color, and excellent anatomy, reminding me of the painter William Bougereau, who also did lots of delectable nudes. I found the series very page-turning, and it has a lot of the usual goulash of dinosaurs-modern men in the jungle-Nazis somewhere in the story-and a rousing ending. I read Marvel's Ka-Zar se...
A tratti mi ha ricordato la serie degli anni '70 della DC, "The War That Time Forgot".Una grande isola sconosciuta, chissà come e chissà perché, dove il tempo si è fermato milioni di anni fa, e militari che ci finiscono, anche qui chissà come e chissà perché.Militari e dinosauri. L'ambientazione, in fondo, è quella. Ci sono i nazisti, (ma sono nazisti di oggi) i soldati americani, i dinosauri rettiliani e non aviani come oramai sappiamo. C'è poi il progetto della super donna nazista che è Shanna...
Sure, a lot of this book is just the chance to watch Frank Cho draw a half-naked muscular woman fighting dinosaurs. There's plot involved in the cheesecake, but not as well developed (unlike the titular character) as I would have liked. It's just good, mostly clean fun.
If I were to make a comic book, I would probably choose to make it about a woman in a bikini who fights dinosaurs. So, I love the premise of Shanna. I also love, love, LOVE Frank Cho. This dude is truly gifted and does fine work. My gripes with this book are that the end felt a little rushed, and the persistence of one character in saying "holy buckets" every two or three panels. Seriously. I wanted this guy to die so he would stop saying "holy buckets." It got way out of hand. Holy Buckets was
A bit light on story, but a fun adventure with gorgeous art.
Hello Fellow Adventure Fans: I was looking forward to reading this mini-series as I have enjoyed Frank's work on Liberty Meadows. Here he weaves a fresh (and beautifully rendered) take on one of the more popular of the "Jungle Girls." Shanna The She-Devil was a lost character until Frank Cho brought her back with a vengeance. The covers of the six issues of this mini-series are very eye-catching (beyond the beautiful Shanna gracing the covers). There is lots of vibrant color and action as she f
Shanna, The She-Devil collects issues #1-7 of the series of the same name by Marvel Comics, with art and writing by Frank Cho and colors by Jason Keith and Dave Stewart.Shanna is a Nazi science experiment in the form of an Amazonian jungle girl with a killer body and killer instinct, living on an island teeming with prehistoric horrors. When a paramilitary group becomes stranded on the island after crash-landing, they discover Shanna and quickly learn that she is a genetically-engineered super-w...
Some of the best art I've ever seen in a comic. Shanna looks ridiculously sexy and the dinosaurs look savage. The story seems incomplete in a way, but overall it's a fun "jungle comic" style romp that flows very well. This is pretty much just what you'd expect with secret Nazi experiments and dinosaurs. If you think this is something you'll like, you probably will.
There are some interesting psychological points made in this comic and the overall story of redemption is very worthy . . . However, it does stretch the imagination on far too many other points.
To check out my full review, go to http://paneldiscussions.wordpress.com...The 7 issue mini-series mostly revolves around Shanna and a resilient army guy fighting off hordes and hordes of velociraptors and the occasional T-Rex.For its sheer audacity, its camp value, and its decision to re-use such a kitschy character makes Frank Cho’s Shanna the She-Devil one of the weirdest stories out there.
"Frank Cho draws women the way women should be drawn." Yes. I said that, and a truer statement -- be it sexist -- has never been uttered. Nor will it. Ever. Cho has taped into the male mind, identified the perfectly voluptuous comic book heroine from those neutrons, and presents her here -- in vivid color and (thankfully) few clothes -- in SHANNA, THE SHE-DEVIL. Now, about the story ... There are a few a major hiccups here: A group of military commandos serving an undeclared nation on an unspeci...
The comic summed up in one picture:
Wow. I like pinup/cheesecake comic art as much (okay more) than the next guy, but this was just terrible. Outside of maybe a half-dozen pinups scattered among the hundred some pages, this had no redeeming qualities. It was boring, and the dialogue was terrible, and... bleh.Did this suffer from my reading it right after reading a bunch of really good comics? Maybe... but at the same time, I don't think this would have been any better even if I read it drunk. And it's so bad, I don't even feel lik...
As usual great art. But the story is a bit weak. Enjoyable enough but I've been disappointed by cho's work after reading a red sonja book of his that I loved.
Frank Chon "Turvatarha" on mielestäni ollut ihan kohtalaisen hauska strippisarja, joten oli mielenkiintoista tutustua miehen työhön myös toiselta kantilta ja tarttua tähän Shanna-lehden numerot 1-7 yhteen keräävään Marvel-albumiin.Juoni pähkinänkuoressa: erikoisjoukkojen sotilaat löytävät unohdetun natsilaboratorion jostakin viidakon kätköistä. Sieltä löydetään myös isopovinen ja voimiltaan vähintään kymmentä miestä vastaava Shanna-amatsooni, joka on suunniteltu jonkinlaiseksi geneettiseksi supe...
It's a Frank Cho book, so you know what you're getting. Figure work of beautiful women. Or in this case one woman. A genetically engineered Aryan super woman. The superfluity of action sequences and pin-up shots means that the 7 (7!) issues of the miniseries contain 2 issues of plot and a half issue worth of characterization and worthwhile dialogue. Liberty Meadows it is not.
Frank Cho cracks me up. I've followed his career loosely since his Liberty Meadows daily comic strip. This came out as the Liberty Meadows strip was ending and was originally supposed to be a MAX mini series. However, when Frank Cho took over, the nudity and cursing was removed and his sense of humor took over. This is a very quick, fun read that is not to be taken too seriously. If this had been written a few decades ago, the movie would star Raquel Welch, a la One Million Years BC style.
