bonanza ! Studios ‘ newPhilip K. Dick‘sDo Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?takes the classic Dick novel into the comic medium without losing one word , result in an experience that ’s alone , rewarding and probable to make you forgetBlade Runner .
One of the most quick surprise about DADOES is how on-key it contend to stay to both the comic metier as well as the original book ; I ’d expect something more akin to an illustrated book , expectant chunks of type occasionally punctuated with unforesightful comic succession , but that ’s not what you get here . or else , Dick ’s committal to writing is broken into caption box and language balloon and , impressively , it work – Yes , some page seem wordy , but not so much that they ’re unreadable ; whether the distribution is down to letterer Comicraft , creative person Tony Parker or editor Ian Brill , it ’s a great job .
Artwise , Parker does well . There are some minute of discontinuity from the school text ( “ foresightful gown ” become noticably poor in his hands , for example ) , but not so much that it pulls you out from the history , and he handles the space and stage dancing of the page well . I ’m less in honey with the coloring by Blond , which gives everything a glistening , generic texture , but willing to let that go as a sign of my obsessional nerditry ; it does n’t stand in the way of the visuals , and you could argue that it speaks to some topic of synthetical / imitation nature from the level itself .

It seems pointless actually reviewing the writing , in a mode ; Dick ’s novel is very Dick , complete with the imagination and surrealism he always offers , and complaints about the lack of play in the issue ’s unaired become particularly ridiculous when you recall that this is literally just the first 24th of the book and never specify to build to a fussy cliffhanger that ’d bring you back next calendar month . What may surprise many , though , is full of information this way out is ; even allowing for the amount of text edition contain in this consequence , there ’s a lot of hooey to learn , and retrieve . Whether this will be off - putting for some more used to less - filled monthly comics , though , stay to be seen ( It ’s interesting that the first issue comes with a short essay in back from Warren Ellis , and that Matt Fraction will be providing a similar opus in the second ; fans of those writer definitely should enjoy this , if they ’re not already conversant with the book ) .
As a comic , then , it lick – Surprisingly , and against expectations . But there ’s still a part of me that wonder why someone would choose to read this over just read the original record book , which give the full floor in one seance , as opposed to over a 24 - calendar month period ; as good as the visuals are , and as interesting as the comedian is as an object , the question of “ Why ? ” hulk large , if unverbalised , on every Thomas Nelson Page .
The first issue ofPhilip K. Dick ’s Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?is unloosen tomorrow .
