Image Comics Meltdown met with a lot of favorable reviews. The two-issue series tells the tale of superhero literally and figuratively having a meltdown. The art by Sean Wang was outstanding, and over the last several months, Wang and I have been sending each other e-mails about his upcoming and past work including the recently reviewed Runners and The Tick comics.
Remember yesterday when I lamented that Runners: Bad Goods needs to be turned into an animated movie? I had contacted Sean Wang about this, and even recommended William Vaughn of the DAVE School to take on the project. Well guess what? William Vaughn of DAVE School approached Sean in 2006 and they DID make a short film based on issue #1 of the series.
I gotta say, except for leaving out the big reveal of the first issue, and some odd voicing (things in your head always sound different than how the finally end up), Runners: The Animated Short is spot on with the comic. Great job!
Sean Wang Scores a Hit
It seems the more I work, the further I get behind. A month or two ago, Sean Wang sent me a copy of his Runners: Bad Goods trade paperback. I’m just now getting the chance to sit down and review this awesome trade, and can’t recommend it enough.
