From: Mike Ciaraldi <ciaraldi> If you haven't seen the first issue of the Balder mini-series, you might want to take a look. Walt Simonson wrote it, and "our pal" Sal Buscema drew it. In the advance hype, Walt said that he thought Sal had done some of the best work of his career. I agree. The style is somewhat "grittier" than Sal's older work (e.g. Hulk the last few years), oddly enough more like Simonson's recent work. All in all, I find it very pleasing. The story isn't bad either... Mike ciaraldi seismo!rochester!ciaraldi

Well, I posted a review of it some weeks ago. Yes, it's good. No, it's not some of Simonson's best work. For one, Simonson is only writing it; Sal Buscema is drawing it. Buscema's art is better than most of the art I've seen from him lately. Simonson's writing is on a par with what he's doing in THOR, no better, no worse. If you like what Simonson is doing in THOR, and don't mind not having him doing the art, then I recommend it. --- jayembee (Jerry Boyajian, DEC, Acton-Nagog, MA) UUCP: {decvax|ihnp4|allegra|ucbvax|...}!decwrl!dec-rhea!dec-akov68!boyajian ARPA: boyajian%akov68.DEC@DECWRL.ARPA
