Quick Review: Tom Strong #28

Allan Moore left "Tom Strong" about two issues ago. Now, I'm not saying the book has sucked since his departure, I'm just saying it now feels painfully forced. This issue definately has that problem, as writer Brian K. Vaughn attempts to write a self contained story about Tom's robot butler, Pnueman. The result is a mildly entertaining tale that doesn't go enough places to hold my overall interest. I think the main problem is that Moore would have covered the same amount of ground in fewer pages, and then would have wrote another short story to complement the main one. As it stands, I felt a little short changed content wise. The art is solid, but nothing to write home about. The inks vary in consistancy, and the colors are kinda bland. All in all, I miss Moore. Probably dropping this book.
