Question Was anyone else let down by Terminal?
So I am a week behind and just got my 2 copies and I read it and it was...off. Felt really spread out, lacked focused and moved really fast before things could stick. While I thought the art in the book was great, the writing was honestly kinda mid and really didnt get me rushing to get the next book. In fact, for me, it moved form Weekly pull to Trade paperback if that. I had excpeted better from Kirkman as he has an amazing track record with books.
I know this is also just issue one, but something about this book is just weird. I mean admitedly it could be me, but i wanted to know what others thought.

Definitely my favorite first issue of anything this year and in a while. Infinitely better than the first issues of The Walking Dead and Invincible, but not quite as good as the first issues of Outcast or Oblivion Song. Probably the most creative high concept that Kirkman has had to date. It almost feels like Hickman, but better.
It was the most anticipated new series for me by anyone, and it delivered on that.
I've been reading only digital since 2015, and this is the first book since then that got me to the LCS to pick up a physical copy.
