REVIEW: The World of Tomorrow #1
G“Day Crusaders,
This is Dodgy in the mix brining you The World of Tomorrow #1 by Giles Clarke (writer and editor) with art by Kenan Halilovic, colors by Felipe Obando and letters by Deron Bennett.
In the World of Tomorrow, the Starship Acropolis ascends into the greater depths of space.. exploring the unchartered, discovering new worlds while battling hostile extraterrestrial beings. Lead by the courageous Captain Armstrong who is admired by his faithful crew, loved by all children and science fiction fans alike who are glued to the television sets.
Behind the curtains, Craig Barstow who plays the respected Captain isn’t anything like his TV persona. He is considered a ‘has-been’ in the world of tinseltown, who is frequently mocked by fellow cast and crew members for being a recovering alcoholic. Although Barstow is aware of his past mistakes, he takes his job with utmost professionalism.
It’s true, you can never judge a book by its cover! Based on the cover alone one would expect a space adventure story, this was completely the opposite. This is a story of a struggling actor who has admittedly made poor decisions over his life and now he’s trying to make it right! You can can really see the sadness in Barstow’s life and its a credit to the entire creative team involved.
The dialogue between all the characters in this book was beyond perfection and the pacing was truly easy to follow. Each participant had depth, accompanied with the art they were all brought to life.
I honestly couldn’t put it down, this was truly addictive. Do ya’self a favor and check it out!
