This book was fun, and grew more charming with each issue, but I can't help but hold it next to Invincible, which to me is (among other things) the holy grail of teenage superheroism. The story-telling is sometimes great, other times a bit sloppy. The art is lovely, but feels weirdly dated. The story is honest though, and the son of a kaiju thing is well worth exploring.
There are some logistical questions regarding how the giant monster procreated with a human female, but that aside...not a bad story. Characters had depth and progress. The art was ok, not amazing, but not bad. A good opener but also a complete story.If I saw volume 2 on sale somewhere, I would pick it up. But, I'm not going to go looking for it.
I enjoyed the book, but it wasn't quite what I thought it would be. Andy Kuhn's art is amazing, and the story is good. I think I hyped the book up too much in my head and it fell flat.
The story starts out as a high-school drama with the weird kid moving to a new school, not being accepted and being under close watch by the principle lest he burn down the school. The dragon bit is an obvious exagerration of that one aspect that is enough to brand you an outcast. Still, the story has that silver lining that lucky people sometimes find in real life: those friends that understand you and accept you for what you are and the family that supports you.There are some funny moments tha...
I read the individual issues rather than the collected book--issues one through four, which I am assuming are included here, as they constitute the first story arc. Like many, I first encountered this story through the animated adaptation years ago. At the time I don't think I realized it was a comic originally, but the animated version plays up the idea of "kaiju" (one of my main forms of genre diet), so I enjoyed watching it. The comic so far has not mentioned kaiju directly by name, but still...
I picked this up on a whim and fell in love with the character immediately. The first two chapters where amazing and from then on out it degraded a bit to great. haha. A great read and worth the time.
Light hearted and fun.
Reviewing Volumes 1 and 2;Phil Hester is by far one of the most underrated "mainstream" comic creators in the industry. He's both writer and artist; so truly a dual force. I've loved his works from Swamp Thing, The Wretch, The Atheist, Mythic, Deep Sleeper, Days Missing etc. He's kind of the missing link between the weird and the craftsmen. A weirder Matt Wagner and a more polished Grant Morrison.Firebreather is perhaps him at his most accessible/crowd pleasing. It's Mignola-esque with the Image...
Love the movie but like usual the original is the better story as while they both cover the same ground the comic has better artwork with more unique looking Kaiju, better back stories for the side characters without resorting to creating a love triangle, and we actually get a better family relationship with Duncan, Belloc, and Margaret. Can't wait to read the rest of the series.
Love a fresh character and a story that hasn't been told. Looking for a comic book hero that you haven't seen many times before?(Great aesthetics as well).
