The time between Christmas and New Year's is always very busy for me. Cookies to be made, presents to be finished and wrapped, friends to visit... So I fell behind on my comics. Not only did I not read any comics for this blog, I only read the comics I needed to for the show. So I am WAY behind on all my comics reading.
To that end, I am going to do my comic-a-day entries catching up on what I haven't read from our regular pull, at least for a little while. Today, Warehouse 13...
which I really do like. I love the SyFy series, and the comic has all the situations and witty dialog of the series. But...
I am not fond of the artwork. And this is the case with many of the licensed properties made into comics. When the artists have to try to make their characters look like the actors, it usually disappoints. In this case, the artist does a pretty good job with Claudia and Myka, but Pete just doesn't look like Pete.
What I would rather have is a "Warehouse 9" or a "Warehouse 15" story, that the comics creators use the basic idea of the Warehouse, but create their own agents and stories.
This problem with mixed media though might be a problem unique to me; I have the same issue regarding books made into movies. And maybe it is just the changing media I have a problem with. Because now that I think of it, if I have read one book in a series, I have trouble listening to later volumes; the same holds true if I have listened to the first book. I then have problems going to a print book. Hmmmmm. I guess I am just weird.
But that doesn't mean you might not LOVE Warehouse 13.
