From the art and (what-I'll-play-along-and-call-a) story, I'd think this was from a half-a-porn company like Avatar or... ...um...or other such companies who I've never heard of. No, never.

Most of the stuff doesn't appeal to me, but I do really like The Walking Dead and Dynamo 5 was fairly good. It's definitely a whole different company now and for the better.

Just terrible." Image has come a long way from dreck like this. Jack Staff, Rocketo, Walking Dead, Invincible, Godland, Savage Dragon, Hawaiin Dick, Amazing Joy Buzzards, Powers (before it went to Icon), Phonogram, Mage, Noble Causes and many more have definately redeemed Image. Image's best books are worth picking up. Heck Mike Allered and Kyle Baker are now coming to Image. "As for the comic, I think this is the reason I never really picked up any Image comics.

It wasn't that big of a hit, but I always loved the song. They certainly don't make songs like that anymore. As for the comic, I think this is the reason I never really picked up any Image comics.

Brigade (the whole limited series) is the very worst comic book I've ever seen, bar none. This one shows quite an improvement, at least in the art (Brigade seemed to be drawn by a very bad Liefeld imitator. Yes, Rob Liefeld kicked his ass!). Someone needs to review the original Brigade limited series. It's an Ed Wood movie in comics form! It's so bad it's good! Best, Hunter (Pedro Bouça) Man, it WAS an improvement!

At the time, I dismissed him as a frickin' horrible artist who had found work by virtue of his ability to weakly ape Rob Liefeld. How in the world was he still working as a comics professional eight years later without the slightest bit of improvement? I get very tired of people posting complaints about comics and creators, but by all that's holy, this is crap on an epic scale. Crap-covered crap with a creamy crap filling. How has Brian Pulido not snatched him up yet? My one and only run-in with the wonder that is Marat Mychaels was BRIGADE #1, back in '92.

Her breasts look like they're growing out of her shoulders. And what's with her boob in the shot of her flying foot-first toward the reader? It looks like a creature that has latched onto her body. Hmmmm, I seem to be obsessed with breasts. What can I say? I'm male. That shot of Jaclyn crawling out of the river has some terrible, terrible anatomy.

Oy. I had no idea Image was doing this kind of comic as late as 2000. It's like someone who had Dante explained to him while he was watching Buffy, while high, decided to make a comic. ... Oy.
