This gets five stars in a large part because it just looks so damn nice - one of the best looking collections I've maybe ever seen. The contents are hot or miss, like most anthologies, but there's more hits than misses, and a lot of work from creators I've never seen or read before, which is always something I like a lot (well, at least when they're good). Oddly it also had an Allred pre-Madman story from like 15 years ago. I'm excited for the other 2 volumes.
By themselves the short comic pieces that make up this "graphic mixtape" are mostly slight, and some of them just plain bad. However, as a mass, they work really well, just an avalanche of disposable pop fun.
i was really disappointed there wasn't a brandon graham story in here despite all the prepub press hype. toby cypress, dan hipp, rey's pinapl story, deadeye, supertron & aqua leung(!!!) were the highlights for me. the rest was alright.
Primer tomo de la antología Popgun.
Anthologies can really be hit or miss with the stories and I'm happy to report that there were more hits than misses happening here.
This massive brick was definitely much better made/printed than the DC Archive reprint line (paperback; I hear they went to Hardcover now). The art in this collection of stories was brilliant, though I found myself confused at times over where one person's story ended and the next person's began. This was not helped by the way, despite each story's short length, several stories seemed to change styles halfway through. Mike Allred seemed to be the only person in the entire tome that understood ho...
Since this is a visual mix-tape, the quality ranges from item to item in this book. However each section is of high quality, and sort of like reading a book of short stories in comic book form. The worst bits are really advertisements for the artists' other projects (why pay money to see an advertisement?) the best---well there's many---surprisingly the best are generally the ones that either have a sense of humor, or are more realistic (instead of superhero fighting some thing)---The Bikini Vam...
An interesting collection of short comics, fake ads, posters/stand alone art, etc. I really enjoyed it, although thematically many of the stories are a toss up, so going from one genre to another wildly different one is a bit jarring. Still, I enjoyed most of the comics in here, which either caught my attention through their art or through the messages they managed to convey in a few short pages. Looking forward to getting the next few volumes.
Too many bad ones to sift through to read the great bits.
a crazy good collection of strange short graphic stories. the favorite of mine is of the Creature on the cover.
The size of this book helps make up for any story I didn't care for. There is a wide variety of short stories to be found here.
Ray gave me this. I liked it but I wanted most of the stories to be longer, except for the stories I didn't care about, which I wanted to be shorter. But mostly I liked them. Ellie saves the world! Does it really say "What I learned from this book" at the top of the goodreads 'enter your review here' field? Has it always? How second grade!
When I first heard about this book, I was mildly intrigued. The more I read, though, the more I became very excited. It's a collection of short comics from various independent talents with stories ranging from relationship drama to intergalactic sci-fi to action to... well... some are just plain hard to describe. Well worth the price and perfect for gifts or roadtrip "brain food."
pretty good anthology. it's like the FLIGHT anthologies, only POPGUN is more action-oriented i guess...still artsy and stuff at times tho...and it's a great bang fer yer buck at like 500 pages for $30. looking forward to volume 2.
Two standouts that I would love to read more of:Sanz Pantz: Ninja Platypus by Chris MorenoThey Shoot Ponies, Don't They by Mark Sable & Rob Guillory
Im a sucker for anthologies. Great collection of art and great short stories from various artists/writers. It makes for a fantastic patio read in the sun. Loved it.
