It's the same fucking book as every other book Tom King writes.

Tom king is a ticking hack and the only people who like his comics are contrarians who never liked comics before and enjoy that he basically just writes perpetual bait.

Oh boy more King hate circlejerk

One thing that annoys me is the pacing. I don't find it to be a slow burn but virtually nothing has happened in the 6 issues that have been published so far. Halfway there and I feel like we never went past the same suspicious vagueness since the first issue.

I just don't think Strange adventures is a good book whatsoever. It's style over substance.

That and the psuedo-intellectual posturing.

>but virtually nothing has happened in the 6 issues that have been published so far.

That's not true. We've learned all kinds of details about the war on Rann and that Adam apparently was a tortured PoW, Rann covering up details about the war, it's all building up to something.

Kings so far up his own ass he's seeing the back of his teeth.

Good that's what he and the CIA get for their psy-op shenanigans.

I wish king would just admit he killed an innocent kid and be done with it.

>We've learned all kinds of details about the war on Rann and that Adam apparently was a tortured PoW,
But that's coming from an unreliable narrator because we don't know what's true and what's not true in those flashbacks.
We see the Pykkts as the savage horde but are they? We see Alanna playing up being a damsel in distress but we know she's not. For all we know, y issue ten all the rannian flashbacks could be revealed as implanted memories.

Something anti-climactic maybe. What we see on Rann is a mix of reality and fiction without any distinction to the point of vagueness.

Does nobody else have an opinion about this book?

>lists exposition instead of plot beats

Given all the comic book writers that get shit on by this board, King actually deserves it.

Bendis, King and Land are the triumvirate of deserved hate. Liefeld is the court jester. Larry Stroman is the Machiavellian advisor pulling the strings.

I gave it a shot but now I'm just waiting for it to all be out so I can cut out all the non-Shaner bits.

Haven't kept up with it. Gonna wait for the trade. I do love Adam Strange and Mr. Terrific so I will definitely get around to reading it.

So Adam has PTSD, right?

It's funny, Tom King said Strange Adventurers would have nothing to do with PTSD but it still does.
Like he literally cannot help it.

the book is goint nowhere, it a worse version of his mister miracle. Good art, average writing.

Why write a book though? Especially if there's a chance that book would expose your war crimes?

King is the king of writing absolute nonsense and imagining that it's deep

Because Tom King has committed genuinely awful crimes and knows from experience the only way to cover them up is to go public with your own accounting of events.

It works too because people can't shut up how cerebral and mature it was.

Three pages of them walking through the Minneapolis sculpture garden encapsulates that perfectly.

It's at this point you have to ask yourself "do I even care about any of these characters?".

It's particualry sad because writing a good Adam Strange comic for modern times wouldn't be even that hard. Just add some strange alien threads which segment into exploring strange sci-fi concepts like, say gas-based alien lifeforms. And maybe add some speculation on how it's kind of weird how Rann is just single city inhabited by seemingly human "aliens" if that alien weirdness seems too simple.

What's sad is that this prestige comic format will redefine what is a "good" Adam Strange story.

It's no coincidence that the earth focused parts of the books are what drags it down.
