Belladonna #5

Will it ever ship??

:( Dunno. It will eventually, I suppose. But I'm not holding my breath.


It's clear by now that Avatar have bitten off far more than they can chew, and oversolicited their comics.
I knew this would happen, when they started soliciting multiple new titles every month from Brian Pulido. I like him, but cranking out product is not his strong point.
And even if Brian can keep up with writing all of the titles he's supposed to be working on, Avatar simply DON'T HAVE ENOUGH ARTISTS to compensate.
I just wish they'd let an artist finish one series, before starting him on another.

Avatar desperately need to hire another couple of artists.

Oh! Good news, I just checked next week's shipping list on Millarworld and Belladonna #5 and Medieval Lady Death #3 are both scheduled for next week. I agree with you though, they seem to be soliciting a new Brian Pulido comic each month, and it's hard to keep up with them all on a limited budget...

Having now read the final issue of this mini, I have to say that I did enjoy this - even with the delays.

The story did a good job of presenting Belladonna as a tortured, vengeful spirit, with moments of brooding between bouts of slaughter.

The only real problem was the art, which was a little 'static'. It didn't present a sense of motion and movement very well.


I also read the second issue of War Angel this week. Now THIS is ace! A barbaric and supernatural version of a Clint Eastwood Western. War Angel herself is a psychotic bitch, and I love her for it.

Really? I heard War Angel wasn't that great...Did you pick up the one-shot or the miniseries?

Oops, just re-read your post, nevermind the second question..
