I bought this comic years ago, when it came out, actually. I'll admit that I was probably drawn in by the semi-nude Genie on the cover, but I also knew virtually nothing about Mr. Liefeld and his history in comics at the time.
I admit that when I read this comic this morning, there were parts that I had literally no memory of. It's got an interesting, if very X-Men, vibe to it, though 3 pages devoted to Genie showering is a bit much, Rob, you horny devil. It's set in the Awesome Universe, given Avengelyne's appearance at the end, and appears to be trying to add another hidden history to the setting. As I say, intriguing, but aside from 2 or 3 little 4-page stories in preview issues, and a cobbled together zero issue, this is all the Re:Gex we get. I'm very surprised the Liefeld hasn't tried to start this series up again. His thing these days really seems to be rebooting his own series over and over and over.
Though, were that to happen, I cannot imagine I'd be picking it up. Jeph Loeb's words are good, but Liefeld's art is Liefeld's art. Genie's boots are just the worst.
More to follow.
