Customer review of: Wanted
|
Customer Rating:      Summary: Not for the Meek Comment: After having this referred by a few friends I decided to pick it up but was surprised at some of the negative reviews but decided to check it out anyway and to be honest, I was glad I did. The story is original and completely off-the-freaking-wall with a diverse cast of characters (one character is made entirely out of human crap). Now I will admit, the comic is juvenile and pretty perverse but if you just sit back and take the comic without a bit of seriousness, it's a good time. But if you can't handle a lot of cussing, perverse jokes and the such, then don't read this comic. But if you like a story with completely B.A. characters who don't take crap from anyone and can shoot off a come-back as fast as they kill people in it, then it'll be a good time.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Disappointed Comment: Much happier with the movie than the source material. I do not recommend this graphic novel.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Wanted: Awesome, because it accomplishes what it sets out to do... Comment: The goal of this book is to be as vulgar, violent, and politically incorrect as possible. And...I love it for this reason. The storyline is a little choppy, but I don't know how else Millar could have done this. You'll have to read it to see what I mean. The art is amazing, the idea is great, and I crack a smile/chuckle on almost every page. Definitely worth reading.
Customer Rating:      Summary: NOT wanted Comment: This piece of rubbish has a clever setup which goes nowhere interesting after Wesley turns into a super-villain (early in the book). The setup posits a world where murder, rape, etc. (on any scale) goes unpunished, and the notions of guilt or remorse never arise. This makes a mockery of the idea that this is an 'adult' story, or even 'edgy'.
The artwork is good, there's plenty of violent action, blood, guts, profanity, and dark humour. A cheering adolescent may feel a bit conned however since there's almost no sex.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Your mileage may vary Comment: Reviews on this are pretty polar; I liked this with some notable exceptions which I will detail here.
It's a good story with some interesting characters, but the ending left me with a "is that all?" feeling. Having said this, the journey is a lot of fun.
The art is good, with a great many old school touches that I appreciate, but the main characters Wesley and Fox, resemble Eminem and Halle Berry to the point of distraction. Also, their diction is detailed with curse words to the point of ridiculousness. Adult language is great, but some restraint here would have served the book better.

Editorial Reviews:
|
What if everything in your life was out of your hands and those around you propelled your fate? Your girlfriend left you for your best friend; your boss gave your job to someone better. What if then, after all this, someone gave you back total control? What if he revealed you were the next in line to join a secret society of super-villains that controlled the entire planet? Mark Millar and J.G. Jones provide a look at one man who goes from being the world's biggest loser to the deadliest assassin alive.
