So when I heard about IDW's Backt to the Future comic, I figured I would try it with a little trepidation. Gotta say I loved it! One of the creators from the film Bob Gale writes for it, an the art is quirky. I can hear Christopher Lloyd and Michael J. Fox in my head as I read it! It answers questions I didn't know I had about BTTF. For instasncr how did Marty and Doc meet? Didn't his parents ever wonder what happened to Calvin "Marty" Klein? Etc...
So I decided after reading 11 issues in one sitting to check out some other IDW titles. Up next, Ghostbusters!
Again, a great book! An awesome throwback to my favorite paranormal experts of the 80's! Great art, good storyline, and great layout! So what else did IDW have to offer?
Enter Mars Attacks! Occupation.
Takes place several years after the movie and I loved the wacky, camp factor of the movie and trading cards. Is time the Martians have conquered earth. And once again IDW has me hooked. Great art storyline and layout. Visually very pleasing. Lots of unique camera angles. So what else is a guy like me to do when I find out its only a short 5 issue series? Find another title that has some staying power.
So far so good. A classic at has been updated in a good way. All in all, great art and story. Though, I am not very far into it yet, I love it so far.
