	Monday, February 16, 2004 < comics/x > GREEN PIECE: CITIZEN GREEN ($2.00 from Adam Owen / 52-C Aspen Dr. / Greensboro, NC / 27409 USA. Web: www.greenpiece.net) Review by Steve Keeter There are two standout illustrations in Green Piece: Citizen Green, either of which could have made a great cover. Well, one of them did – the very green, very mean frontcover drawing, by Adam Owen, of GP standing behind a podium and wielding a handgun is a knockout. A pin-up by Larry Blake is similarly dynamic, perhaps even more so with the thicker, bolder ink lines, and this time GP is wielding that gun on the surface of the moon! – which has absolutely nothing to do with the story in this issue. The story, filled with equal parts humor, drama, and mystery, concerns our favorite lizard space detective's accidental ascension to the leadership of a strange politically minded planet – after he is blamed for the assassination of its former "Prime Citizen!" The computer graphics blend pretty well with Adam's own solid artwork (and the top notch inks of Joel Klampert and Andrew Runion), but it is Jason DeGroot's fast-paced scripting that steals the show. One of the best issues of Green Piece yet. GREEN PIECE: HOCUS CROAKUS ($2.00 from Adam Owen / 52-C Aspen Dr. / Greensboro, NC / 27409 USA. Web: www.greenpiece.net) Review by Steve Keeter Green Piece goes to a supposedly peaceful floating city for some rest and relaxation, which, of course, is bound to go horribly wrong, in another engaging space mystery by Jason DeGroot and Adam Owen. There are some humorous sequences (especially involving GP's misadventures with a magic wand), and plenty of action (a very excellent full-page action collage sequence of our hero gunning down the bad guys comes immediately to mind), although, except for GP himself, the characters come across a bit flatter and less developed than usual. Adam's full-color cover is a knockout, as is a very Vaughn Bodé-ish interior full-pager by Dave Hedgecock. Not the best issue, but still pretty good, and the series as a whole is highly recommended. - posted by Ricko at 10:52 AM [ Link to this review ] Comments: Post a Comment
