Joe the Barbarian #1


There's really nothing terribly good or bad about this book. The plot reads hackneyed, but the main character acknowledges that he himself is a stereotype, so maybe that's intended so far? For a projected 8-issue series, the first isn't anything more than a light hook. Not a rotten hook, so I'll pick up the second if I'm paying attention. I'd probably miss it entirely if Grant Morrison wasn't behind it. Sean Murphy's art is eye splooge, so that is something terribly good after all.
