Lock Jaw's Comic Book Log

[Lock Jaw]

In this thread, I will "review" and discuss comic books that I am reading.

First up:




Morning Glories written by Nick Spencer, art by Joe Eisma

I just started to read this series tonight, and am currently six issues in.

The series is about the Morning Glories prep academy school, and the six teens who have just been granted admission.

On arrival they quickly learn that the school is not what it seems. It is fairly sinister and mysterious. It reminds me of Lost meets The Prisoner meets Runaways.

Some of the characters are cool, while others seem a tad cliche thus far, but the mysteries are what is keeping me really enthralled in this series. I am curious to find out more about what the hell is going on. I have a feeling I am going to be up late reading this. Only reason I am taking the time out to make this thread is waiting for more to download.

I hear that the writer is writing it in "seasons", as well, which is neat because it does feel more like a TV show than a comic book. There are 30-something issues currently out right now, and I think "season 2" began only recently.
