Flash Gordon Omnibus by Ben Blacker, Ben Acker, Jeff Parker
2.0
NetGalley copy
This is pretty old-school, and, although that might be someone else's cup of tea, it wasn't mine. Although I'm usually up for a campy sci-fi adventure comic, I just didn't find this collection exciting, was waiting for it to be over, and am not motivated to read more, even though it ends in a cliffhanger. It didn't help that the characters were totally cut from cardboard and the world-building wasn't novel (although some people probably enjoy that the worlds and aliens encountered are throwbacks to the 1930s).
