This volume was easier to understand then the previous volumes. I'm digging the concept and the Tinker part was kind of cool. But why does this read like Promethea so much. It's got the same concepts and even mentioning Prometheus. I mean that entire Tinker story was on of the clearest for Unwritten, but it was the same story as in Promethea with the gay comic book writer there. I really hope this goes away from the Promethea. I love Promthea, but that blew my mind already. Less ambitious than the previous volume, this collection returns to a linear story centered around the core group of principals. Which doesn't mean it is boring or conventional, by the way. This focused approach still leaves room for in-story flashbacks and most importantly the appearance of a character from a new source: comic books. Whereas previously the emphasis had been on "serious" literature -- even though the main storyline of the comic revolves around a Harry Potter-like series of books -- this TPB deals with the rise of pulp literature, more specifically superhero comics and their rising influence amongst the stories we read and tell. There are plenty of lovingly done homages to the genre in the latter half of the book, whilst we further uncover more clues about how Tommy Taylor became to be.Another fine installment of this great series.
What do You think about On To Genesis (2012)?
I never know what will happen next, and am enjoying learning more about the characters.
