I think it gets a lot better as it goes along but I don't think it's his best work. Still, I give it credit for failing boldly, and I would still call it a must read.

I'm more partial to Transmetropolitan. I still find Planetary grapples with such big ideas about pulp heroes that I love it, though. Imperfect but ambitiously so

yeah, Transmet is #1. the other contenders for #2 are Supergod and Black Summer i think; Injection and The Wild Storm might wind up there

Oh really? The only Avatar Press stuff I've read was No Hero and I found it very disappointing. I'll have to check those out.

i found No Hero pretty delightful so my taste is probably not reliable for you, but Black Summer is definitely better at least

oh um that's not actually meant to be dissing Supergod, it's excellent, i'm just used to thinking of No Hero and Black Summer in the same breath because they came out around the same time and are both Juan Jose Ryp joints, there's a decent chance Supergod is better than both
