Yahoo! My new library has all the Astro City volumes my last library was lacking! Time for a week-long binge to catch up!
I don't think Kurt Busiek has ever been so blatant in his secret plan to use Astro City to lock down all the possible remaining superhero names so no one else can ever create a new comic book without having to cut him in for a royalty or a huge buyout. He's just like those internet domain speculators! Dozens of new heroes and villains are thrown into the mix with his dozens and dozens of existing characters, Many of the characters have k's in their name, and I can only manage Busiek is obsessed with that letter because it starts and ends his own name.
All those names crammed into a batch of single-chapter stories bog down the flow of the book, and usual artist Brent Anderson is absent, replaced by ten fill-in pencilers and inkers. (The American Chibi chapter looks dreadful, but the rest look fine.) The combination just screams filler. It's good filler, sure, but it just doesn't seem essential to the series. ( )
