4.0 out of 5 stars
Fantastic characters marred by constant changes in graphics, 1 Aug 2008
This review is from: ABC Warrior (ABC Warriors) (Paperback)
When Pat Mills developed the ABC Warriors, he allegedly stopped in frustration after each artist was only able to complete one or two strips. Therefore this first volume is a hodgepodge of styles. However, the general impression is good, especially with fine artwork by Brendan McCarthy, Mike McMahon, Dave Gibbons, and even Carlos Ezquerra does a few progs. (I guess it is hard to draw 7 very different robots every prog).
Probably most important for the creation of the artwork was the initial work by Kevin Oneill, who made it possible for the tie-in with Nemesis later.
This covers the early ABC Warriors strips up to the formation of the team of 7 (Happy Shrapnell, Joe Pineapples, Hammerstein, Dreadlock, Blackblood, Steelhorn / The Mess, Mongrol) and including their adventures on Mars.
Highly recommended. This is the starting point - followed by The Black Hols, Kronocles of Khaos, and Hellbringer, (a fifth volume will be out in Nov 08).
