Fffft. Two feels generous but there’s a kernel of an interesting story here even if it is buried behind indifferent art and some deeply stodgy and awkward storytelling. As a rule of thumb, if you have a character called Hargrave Swinthe in your book with no discernible irony then it’s almost certainly going to be a bit shit and lo and behold...
For what constitutes the first three issues, this is a five-star book -- imaginative, philosophical, whimsical, fun. Then issue four was the domain of the movie producers, those guys who come in and make you tie up the story in a neat, pat package. Too bad about that. I'm still interested to read the second set, just disappointed how this one wrapped up.
I loved the story but some of the panels made me think I'd skipped over something?
Pretty good collection of the Image series 27 which details out the supernatural powers a musician gets when he loses use of his hand and seeks out a way to regain his ability to play. More a supernatural anti-hero book than music, but it's heavily steeped in rockstar legend and has lots of fun factoids. Def a good looking comic but the story is just really an opening act.
Edición especial para la Crack Bang Boom 2015.
I expected to like this a lot more than I did. :(
A deserted crossroads of two dirt roads in Mississippi, a musician seeks the easy way out and sell his soul to the devil for the ability to play music. It’s a typical story you’ve heard before. But with a slight twist by the devil outsourcing it two other demons of some sort.From what I can tell, this has nothing to do with the regular comic series 27. But this little short comic is well done. The artistry is awesome, I am absolutely in love with it! It’s gorgeous. I wish more comics were drawn
Rock star Will Garland damages his hand and can’t play guitar anymore. Desperate for a cure, he seeks out a mad scientist with a demented plan to harness the power of 9, a number representing creativity itself, to somehow fix Will’s hand. Except things go wrong and the 9 set out to kill him instead! Uhh… no. I like a lot of Charles Soule’s earlier comics before he went to shit at Marvel but Twenty-Seven is not one of his better efforts. Everything from the premise - something about rock stars li...
Almost interesting but doesn't really pull things together.
That last panel was beautiful
lots of pics of guitarists....
Un verdadero embole que solo se salva por los dibujos de Podestá y por una escena en la que aparece Jim Morrison.Los personajes no tienen profundidad, los diálogos son lastimosos, la historia ya fue contada miles de veces con otras variantes. En fin...La traducción no ayuda en absoluto y hay errores gramaticales bastante groseros.En fin, comic olvidable.
actual rating: 2.5This was okay but I know that Soule can do better than this and the art style was fairly ugly as well. Doing something with the '27 Club' thing is an interesting concept but I felt like this devolved way too quickly into trying to make every single number ever come out to being about the number 9 in some way and it just got exhausting after awhile, maybe because I know conspiracy nuts like that in real life who are currently trying to use numerology to 'prove' political conspir...
Fairly solid dark fantasy/supernatural tale. Due to a neurological disease inflicting his hand, a famous Rock & Roll guitarist has lost his ability to play guitar. He seeks out a bizarre doctor mixing technology and dark magic, leaving our hero with a strange device implanted in his chest. When activated the device gives him three hours of creative brilliance/power---only trouble is it can only be used 27 times and when it runs out our hero dies. Playing off the old "rock star dead at 27 myth" a...
I feel like everything edgy in the story has been done before and to better effect in other books. The main character was annoying and the characters were flat, especially the women. However, the artwork was really interesting throughout and the bonus story about Robert Johnson at the end redeemed it somewhat.
This was different than I expected. The art is horrible and the story is too farfetched.
(This review was originally published by GraphicNovelReporter.com on July 2, 2012)One of the most enduring legends of rock and roll is the “27 Club,” so called because of the string of influential rock and blues musicians who died at the age of 27. Their members include Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, and Robert Johnson, among many others, including most recently Amy Winehouse. The fact that this coincidence unites so many fallen rockers intones a certain level of the sinister, creating...
A nice throwback to Vertigo titles of the 90s. If you enjoyed this you might enjoy Lewis Shiner's Glimpses and Deserted Cities of the Heart.
Phenomenal concept, great art, mediocre execution
Good concept- just weirdly executed.
