Mysterious Adventure Magazine Review
Mysterious Adventure Magazine‘s Summer issue is a black and white anthology from the likes of Matt Bennet and Scott Godlewski. I must profess to having thoroughly enjoyed the first issue of MAM, that introduced us to the Flying Phantom. He does make a return appearance in this issue however brief. But it is always a fun read when Godlewski is putting out a new Phantom story.
This time around the lead story is night shift. A “superhero” tale about a British crime fighter attempting to foil a crime. The artwork is top rate and the hook of the story is well worth it. Godlewski also brings us a short three page Flying Phantom story though while short is a nice piece and adds to the legacy of the character.
We also get a Fowl story from Dan Schkade which gives us the Fowl versus living embodiment poetry. Anyone who can use iambic pentameter and Haiku in a comic book story is good as far as I am concerned.
And of course there is the Broken Heart of Ogo Pogo by Josh Covey and Matt Bennett. Which has some startling visuals that really need to be seen to appreciate them. And our final entry is a good old fashioned pulp piece that follows up ever so slightly from the last issue. All in all a great issue and one well worth picking up. I’ll be posting reviews of the other Indyplanet books I picked up, so keep an eye out for them.
