ostrava 's review for:
Astro City, Vol. 1: Life in the Big City
by Kurt Busiek
I don't know what to think of it right now, but I sure as hell enjoyed it. Loved the art, loved the refreshing take on the genre... I've heard it's a masterpiece, and I believe ya, it will just take some time for that to feel right with me.
But it's definitely an excellent comic book.
Edit after reading up to issue 9:
Well... it's lacking in a certain strength for me to keep the first rating, but on hindsight, it's not a five. Four is good enough.
It's definitely a fine comic book, I'm just more skeptic of its fame now. I keep thinking about Tom Strong and how I enjoyed those comic books more because of how silly and self-aware they were. Astro City doesn't say anything I hadn't read before.
