Man, I totally forgot about "Rising Stars". I like reading that book too. A friend of mine lent me his graphic novel compilations. The one thing I do hate about the book, .........is the horrible artwork. I mean come on, you're an editor, you got a great well known writer to do a series for you, who do you get to draw for him? You'd want to get the best you could right? I guess not at Top Cow.

Hey, how is that KenzerCo D&D book? Man, is that book hard to find.
Actually, you know what . . . . now that I've thought about it, the reason why I don't like "Sojourn", isn't just because its not original. I think that's minor. I think most of it has to do with the art. Maybe if someone else was drawing it I would like it. The art IS fantastic. The penciller is a good artist. But the style bugs me a little.
Little me explain, (and this kind of goes with most CrossGen books): Its like this company makes an effort to provide the comic book reading market with an alternative to the usual "super-hero" stuff, but the art still looks like super heroes. Yeah the world of "Sojourn" isn't tights and capes, but it still looks like a super hero book. The costumes still look really cartoony, clean, bright, form fitting. Heroes got perfect salon hair. I just don't feel like I've escaped super hero books when I go to "Sojourn".
Its a good book though, don't get me wrong. Most of my gripes is just personal tastes. Taking away my tastes and breaking down the book, its solid. Just not my cup of tea.
