3.5/5AHOY comics is a new company, and The Wrong Earth written by Tom Peyer with art by Jamal Igle is their first series. The story focuses on Dragonflyman and Stinger, characters from different Earths. One is a hero, the other a villain. When they trade places things go off the rail fast. While the concept of alternate worlds isn't new, Peyer and Igle approach it in a clever way that made me first mildly interested, then invested in the plot. They highlight differences between worlds through ch...

I give this a high rating as I found the banter between the heroes and vilains entertaining and refreshing. I love the contradictions between Dragonflyman and Dragonfly. Thank you NetGalley for accepting my request to view this arc.

The Wrong Earth is a great exploration of the duality of superhero media across the Silver and more modern eras. It was refreshing to see a superhero comic unburdened by years of continuity yet still retain a lot of the flavor of familiar beats - especially with regard to the Batman Mythos. As someone who's oft derided the grim-dark era of 1980s comics, it was a delight to see the two sides to comic book heroes explored in more detail. However, I think the first TPB could have gone into a bit mo...

Ahoy Comics "The Wrong Earth" from Tom Peyer and Jamal Igle is quite frankly, something special. Taking the classic "mirror mirror" alt universe switcharoo approach and flipping it on it's head in quite a refreshing way. The writing and art are incredibly solid and will have you wanting the next volume immediately. If you like silver age shenanigans meets gritty widescreen hi-jinx, this one is for you.

Not great, not terrible. There are many pretty funny moments, but story could haw more drive and hold better together.

This and Penultimateman shows Peyer has a solid, imaginative grasp on Superheroes. And its amazing DC and Marvel haven't given him any big assignments since the 90s. The guy bleeds Superhero comics.

Imagine if Adam West's Batman and Frank Miller's Dark Knight changed places. That's what happens to Dragonfly Man, who comes from a world where villains only try and harm you through elaborate death traps, and Dragonfly, a vigilante who murders anyone who breaks the law. It's a nice juxtaposition as each character is set loose in each other's world. The art is also very good with veteran comic book artist, Jamal Igle, performing capably.Received a review copy from Ahoy Comics and NetGalley. All

Collects The Wrong Earth (2018) issues #1-6What would happen if the Batman from the 1966 TV show switched places with the grittier Batman of the 1980s and beyond? How would they survive on each others' Earths? Using a Batman analogue, this comic book tackles those questions, along with others. For example, the escalation question has come up related to Batman's presence in Gotham City. Does his presence there make the criminals and crimes worse? This graphic novel seems to answer that question w...

A very strong concept, and well thought through (at least as far as this initial collection goes), but really only shines with a Batman Universe overlay to get the best of the nuances. I would have loved Peyer to have pitched this to DC. The artist is competent, very strong on anatomy and facial expressions, but a more stylised artist could have brought out the alternate worlds more strongly; as it is, sometimes it's difficult to tell which Dragonfly/Man is Adam West and which is Christian Bale....

This would have been a 5 star volume had the writers not devoted several issues to fluff. The actual story, or book one, ends with roughly 80 pages to go. The remainder of the volume is filled with small vignettes set in both the Golden Age and Modern Age. But I would have much rather them continued on with the story as the fluff was not truly all that great. But what about the original story?It's really clever and interesting. So there is an Earth Alpha and an Earth Omega. EA is very similar to...

AHOY COMICS’ first expedition took sail last year and landed on our shores during the third quarter of 2018, with four debut titles coming to port. I’m not going out on a limb by designating them the small publisher to watch in 2019. They have already proven to be a premium quality house of ideas. THE WRONG EARTH was their very first title, and it’s appropriate that it now becomes the first Ahoy trade paperback collection this year. The publisher’s goals were clearly stated in the editorial pa

Main story is awesome fun. The backup stories are not as good unfortunately.

Checking out some other smaller publishers This was awesome. A good and bad superhero kinda reminiscent of Batman accidentally swap worlds. Very fun. The art is great to look at as well

Another «underground» comic book with super-heroes that just can't bring anything new and don,t achieved the level of those major super-heroes machine that are Marvel and DC. the illustrations don't do it any good, seem unpolished and story/characters/world is just unoriginal. Not worth it!

When Dragonflyman chases his arch-nemesis Number One through a magic mirror, he winds up in a much bleaker world and that world's Dragonflyman and Number One end up in his...The basic premise of The Wrong Earth is a simple one: What if the Batman of the '60s TV show ended up in Frank Miller's Batman's world. Combine that with a cover that is somewhat of an homage to Flash of Two Worlds and it's not something I could pass up.So Dragonflyman leaves his campy, retrofuture world behind and winds up

An absolutely stunning launch for Ahoy. The Wrong Earth fills into every slice of the superhero genre, switching between colorful camp and dark grit seamlessly until the two actually blend together. As a Batman fan, I felt like I was watching a trading places between Adam West’s 60’s series and Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy. The characters are unique, and both earths showcase intricate and detailed designs that both work with and contrast the characters in them. I was excited for this series when

This was a nice surprise. So take a 60's version of batman and a 80's version of Batman and have them switch worlds. Dragonflyman is a superhero in both. However, on one world he is a gritty badass vigilante fighter who lost his sidekick and vows to kill anyone who fucks with him. The other-side of the coin is a happy go lucky hero who stops crime like it's a Saturday morning cartoon everyday. When these two switches spots into their world they must adapt to save the city. Will they be able to o...

A brief synopsis from the publisher for context: "On dark, gritty Earth-Omega, masked vigilante Dragonfly punishes evil maniacs and evades corrupt authorities. On sun-splashed Earth-Alpha, costumed crook-catcher Dragonflyman upholds the letter of the law. Now they're trapped on each other's worlds, where even the good guys don't share their values!"I kinda really loved this. It was both an homage and a parody of superhero comics from different eras. Earth-Alpha's Dragonflyman, along with his sid...

The notion of parallel universes is not new, but the approach to the concept can be fresh or generic. This time, we got an extremely refreshing story as Dragonfly and Dragonflyman swap worlds and universes. One is basically these day's Gotham, while the other is the 60's TV Show Batman Gotham. Ohhhhh, and was it fun.Tom Peyer brought a beautiful story filled with fun, action and emotional moments, at a time when decompression in comic books is so severe that it's not rare to read a whole issue o...

Holy Stinger, Dragonfly(man)! Ahoy Comics is producing some quality content!Tom Peyer teams up with Jamal Igle to bring us one of the most interesting superhero stories I've read in a few years. The premise is simple, yet captivating - what would happen if Batman '66 met The Dark Knight Returns? What if they exchanged worlds!? How would Adam West's good-natured Batman fare in Ben Affleck's (or Christian Bale's) grittier Gotham? Peyer is obviously not working with Batman or with DC Comics here to...
