Fantastic collection! The shorts are a very accessible way for someone to be introduced to this character -- so READ THIS! You will love it!
Concrete is not a superhero. He's not the Hulk smashing everything in his path. He's not The Thing shouting «It's Clobberin Time» before going into action. In fact, there is very little action in Concrete's life. In some ways, you even get to pity the poor schmuck that had his brain transfered into a big pile of rock by a bunch of mysterious aliens. He actually probably lost more than he gained... his sense of touch is practically innexistent, no more taste buds, no more sense of smell either......
I laughed, I cried. This title has some excellent artwork and is thoughtfully written. You'll wonder about things you might never have wondered about before. Worth your time, no doubt.
#ThrowbackThursday - Back in the '90s, I used to write comic book reviews for the website of a now-defunct comic book retailer called Rockem Sockem Comics. (Collect them all!)From the September 1998 edition with a theme of "Creative Recycling":INTRODUCTIONLast month's column was about publishers reprinting and repackaging material. This month, I'm going to take a peek at creative recycling.What's creative recycling? That's when a creator takes elements, plots, characters, themes, traditional fra...
I have a difficult relationship with Concrete. Though I admire Chadwick's artistic talent, his titular character is extraordinarily high-minded and a little hard to bear sometimes. It seems as though this is not an intended character flaw, as nobody (in these stories, at least) ever calls him on it.In this collection, which puts together a number of Concrete's first appearances as a part of Dark Horse Presents, we are given a pretty clear view of what Chadwick's intending to do with this charact...
I used to not like Concrete that much, even though I could always tell it was groundbreaking. It's much more subtle and low key than a comic about a man made of concrete should be. But now I'm pretty into it. It's like if Jim Jarmusch made a superhero movie.
While I appreciated where they're coming from, I'm afraid I just never really connected with these stories, or the character. Still, it's a contemplative and interesting collection.
its wonderfully different from everything out there. a man with extraordinary abilities trying to lead a normal life. sounds so simple. so hard to do. loved it.
