This is one of those great series of the 1980s that seems largely forgotten today. In its time, I would consider it easily as influential as Swamp Thing, Watchmen, and Dark Knight Returns.The design work on these issues sets them apart.The story is light on details and can be confusing. But if you're bothered by that, this really isn't the book for you.The iBooks reprints are OK. I haven't had a chance to compare them to earlier collections or my originals. Sometimes the reproduction feels more
Parece que hay consenso en que Mister X es una obra fallida. La misma introducción de este tebeo viene a decir que el concepto de Dean Motter y Paul Rivoche era genial y que los hermanos Hernández no entendieron nada. Le dieron un tono caricaturesco a la historia, se equivocaron a la hora de plasmar Radiant City en el papel y demás errores. La sustitución por un primerizo Seth no mejoró la cosa. Sólo un Dave McKean, que todavía no dibujaba raro, y un Bill Sienkiewicz que ya sí, supieron captar e...

A premissa da história é muito interessante, o traço é incrível, guarda uma estética futurista com base em traços do passado, mas faltou desenvolvimento de algumas questões à medida que novos personagens entram na trama... Acaba ficando gente demais num plot twist infinito que acaba não nos levando lugar algum. No entanto, as ideias que circundam a narrativa com relação ao sono, às drogas, à construção de uma cidade perfeita que, na verdade, está enlouquecendo as pessoas, ainda faz a história va...
Smartly written and designed. Quite the intricate storyline involving the mysterious Mister X....
3.8 STARS - Mister X... what can one say about this mysterious figure??? According to some sources he is THE most recognizable graphic expression in the world.Though I found that claim odd as I had no idea, what-so-ever, who he was until I saw his book on the shelf and decided to read it. That being said some might ask, 'Why I would jump onto an odd looking book like this?'I might almost answer, that it being so odd were reason enough... but, let's be serious here: it's all about Dean Motter, a
Immensely frustrating. The artwork is breathtaking and intricate, but the story never goes anywhere nor makes much sense. And while the title character looks cool and seems like he should be interesting based on the initial concept, the comic is marred by the "mystery" of "Who is Mister X?" I read the trade and have no clue if there is a clear answer. There certainly wasn't any climax/resolution/catharsis.Missed potential.
ambiguously fun. i didn't actually read it in spanish, but i couldn't find the english edition on this here thing.
I'd give this collection 5 stars for content and maybe 2 or 3 for presentation. There are a few pages missing or out of order, and the reproduction is pretty muddy. You'd be better off buying the more recent Dark Horse version.I bought this comic semi-regularly when it was first published, back in the eighties. It's definitely a flawed book, for a lot of reasons, but it was always fun to read, and broke some new ground in terms of graphic design in comics. It's always been a sentimental favorite...
I had never heard of this, even though it's more than 20 years old, and I like many of the people involved with it. Huh!?! Quite enjoyable, but a bit frustrating that it keeps adding complications and no resolutions.
This collection is all 14 issues of Mister X, plus assorted vignettes. The premise: Mr X. was part of a group that designed Radiant City on principles of psychogeometry; but something went wrong with the design, people are afraid to go to sleep, and Mister X is back, to restore the city's shape. At least, in theory, that's the premise. In actuality, what we mostly get is a bunch of stories revolving around Mr X's encounters with the high and mighty of Radiant City, and a twisted knot of identiti...
