— SCHRÖDINGER'S Coffee House

I’ve finished reading Brian Wood & Kristian Donaldson‘s 3-part Prologue to The Massive and I love it.

I have to confess I read it #2, #3, #1 in Dark Horse Presents 8, 9 & 10 (I initially missed #8 but managed to get it from ???comics) but it made no difference. It has the feel of being adrift in the swell of the sea and you know a big wave is about to rise and drown you out of existence. The artwork has massive high points (the pun notwithstanding), I love the cover to issue #1 and adore the posters I’ve seen advertising it.

DMZ was a landmark in comic series for me and here’s hoping The Massive will ‘rise’ to the  bar that was set! It’s going to be a ‘massive’ summer…
