Lance Quazar said:Since we're in a new thread, let me reiterate my strong dislike for this comic.
Instead, why not pick up "Indiana Jones Adventures Volume 1". Though ostensible a "kid"-marketed comic, the writing is vastly superior to TotG and the author truly captures the Indy tone and spirit that is far lacking in "Gods."
And delightful, stylized artwork is also terrific.
ResidentAlien said:Hmm... Was just reading through this thread. See lots of discussion about how Dark Horse just rips off famous Indy photos as "shortcuts." That's simply a load of ****, and I'll tell you why. Why? Because Struzan ALWAYS did the same thing too. And no one ever complained. Look at any Struzan painting, from books to posters, to whatever else-- he always uses the same handful of poses, time and again. Philosopher's Stone is from Temple of Doom, Secret of the Sphinx as well. If memory serves, Peril at Delphi is Raiders, and so forth. And of course, Fate of Atlantis apes from the same picture that Secret of the Sphinx grabbed from. Different artist or not, did anyone complain then?

This is just a crap likeness of Indy:
...as I mentioned, there's better work inbetween the covers. But then again the story sucked too...

emtiem said:Sorry yes; you're quite right. Not sure what happened there!
It is a bit of a disappointing ending, most definitely. At least it didn't do the bad-guy-getting-killed-by-the-thing-he-was-finding again, though.
This thread is about the compilation version. What does "the MONTHS that we had to wait between issues" have to do with anything? Yes, the finale was a bit of a disappointment but if waiting more than a month between issues had an affect on your enjoyment of the story, then that's your own problem.KVoss said:Don't even bother finishing it. Most anti-climactic ending EVER. The MONTHS that we had to wait between issues didn't help either. All around bad.
A little harsh, don't you think? "All around bad"? If it's so poor then, please, come up with something better...Do you really think that someone who bought the trade paperback is NOT going to read the whole thing based on your neandrathal review?KVoss said:Boo!!! Slime, filth, muck.... boo boo BOOOOOOOOOO
Sorry, KVoss, but those are spelled "it's" and "you're". I called your review neanderthal, not you. About being "smarter than the average bear", is that a Yogi Bear reference? Anyway, your post was more that just an opinion. You were telling people not to bother reading the whole thing.KVoss said:OOOGAH OOOGAH... I WAS a little harsh on the story,but name calling? Just my opinion Stoo!!! By the way, its spelled "NEANDERTHAL". I guess I may be smarter than the average bear after all...
Your right;it is about the compilation version...
That's a bit better. At the least, it's better than calling it "slime, filth and muck". You didn't like the artwork in the first 3 chapters or any of the dialogue?KVoss said:I do ,again my own opinion,think it was "all around bad." The covers were nothing special,the story was bland,and the finale WAS disappointing...Better???

So, at the end of the day, it's not "all around bad"?KVoss said:I did like the first issue for the most part...the setup was really great,...
