(Mostly the ones that feel retro/Flash Gordony, but still, they look really neat.) He does not, however, have the same handle on the terrifying crimson death-bot called Maximilian. predicated on the sentries being dumb enough not to realize that the flying robot has been flying all this time.įor all my complaints about B.O.B., the representations of V.I.N.Cent in this issue are pretty solid, making me think that the artist had one of the Mego toys for visual reference, and McWilliams does a very good job with the human faces and some of the space ships. Regardless of his squishiness (which, I have to say, even bothered me way back when I was nine and knew nothing about comic book art), he shares the cleverness and resourcefulness of the prime universe B.O.B., helping the crew to formulate an escape plan.

is twisted visually as well as metaphorically, looking like he had been shaped out of clay by Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore, then left to spin on the wheel for a little too long. Their suspicion of Reinhardt and his robot enforcer is understandable, given the death of two of their crewmates at their hands and/or terrible pincers, but their parallel universe counterparts are instead focused on the mysterious “Virlights”. If you’re not familiar with the plot of the film, these three humans and one robot barely escaped their universe’s Cygnus with their lives, then watched it torn to pieces by space debris and sucked in to an unknown, Heironymous-Bosch-inspired fate. Then, their ship is captured in a strange bubbles and pulled back to a very familiar spacecraft: The USS Cygnus! Having traveled through the black hole, the surviving crew of the Palomino immediately finds the laws of nature to be rejected, with their course passing through a sun with no damage, finding that size and disatance are meaningless, even finding their own duplicates traveling through space. This issue picks up the only way the story could: By completely ignoring ALL of that… So it was with the ongoing monthly comic book adaptation of ‘The Black Hole’, a film which ended with a bizarre and impressionistic sequence involving heaven and hell on the other side of the titular collapsar.

Back in those pre-streaming days, we couldn’t watch films over and over, which forced us to read the novelizations and comic book adaptations of our favorite films, which could be… Let’s say “mixed” in their quality and fidelity to the source material. Previously in The Black Hole: Thanks to an impulse purchase this week (and the film being available on Disney+), I’ve been thinking about 1979’s ‘The Black Hole’ again. Burns took a full ten years to write this entire story and it was serialized in a number of comic book issues.Once upon a time, when I didn’t know what comic books were, I encountered one that still haunts my mind… Your Major Spoilers (Retro) Review of The Black Hole #3 awaits!.Were the characters differentiated enough? Were they supposed to be? Did any character stand out or were any particularly memorable?.How does Burns’ artwork affect the mood of the book? Does it add to or detract from the story? Black hole imagery is used frequently in the book – what does this imagery reflect about the story itself?.Are there elements of horror in this book? What are they? Does the subject matter lend itself to the horror genre? How so?.

Could this mutation be a metaphor for something (or several things)? Teenage experience? STD stigmatization? Do the unique types of mutations reflect anything about the characters themselves?
