Hi Doughy,
If you read comics for 30 years then you won't say that. And particulary if you have a special interst in the character, then it is possible to read within 5 minutes (22 pages is not a long one).
Thanks for your comment. Please don't take my message as an offence.:grin:

No offence taken at all mate! While I haven't been reading for 30 years, I've managed 14 thus far, so almost half. Mostly a 22 page comic takes me somewhere between 20-30 min to read, depending on the dialogue. However, I tent to scrutinize the art in each panel to the enth degree, just to make sure I don't miss anything.

It depends on what you are getting out of the story or comic book...
You Dougy are an artist so you spend more time looking at the artwork were I know book worms who just read the words and not worry about the artwork as much and hence read it really quick.

The first time I read a comic it takes me about 5-10 mins, but I always come back later to it and go through it again to see if anything I missed is their and to take a closer look at the art.

Although that is true to a point, I also concentrait on the text. I feel a good comic is a harmony between text and art so both should be given equal attention.

Nice review on your blog there Germ, I agree with the majority of what you said too. :mrgreen: P.S. I've just PMed you.
Just finished reading it. While it dosen't, IMO, get an "exilent" raiting, it is very, very good. A complete review will be posted on ChronicleChamber.com shortly for those interested.

Fairly balanced review, Dougy. I have read yours as well, Germ, and it was a bit brief. What are we to make of Miguel and Carlos? And the tigers taking Devil's place? For instance.
I have just managed to get my hands on a copy, and I did not think it was that bad a Phantom story. I hope the pace picks up in part 2, since we only have 22 pages left of it. I am curious about the use of tigers in Africa. I don't think the art was that poor.
I am beginning to think that there might be a reason for Miguel and Carlos trading places in part one, and here is obviously the right place to ask if this is the case.
