 Red Circle The Web #1 $2.99 Quantity
VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
Written by J. Michael Straczynski Art by Roger Robinson & Hilary Barta Cover by Jesus Saiz Billionaire John Raymond has it all - fame, fortune, and a brilliant mind! He also has a brother with the one trait John lacks: compassion. No matter how relentlessly awe-inspiring John's achievements get, it's his brother who's always seen as the hero. So John sets out to upstage his brother one more time. He'll show the world just how much heroism money can buy as the amazing (and suspiciously well-equipped) Web. But when a dark fate arrives for his brother, John learns first-hand what a hero leaves on the line, and that there are worse losses than the ones that hit your checkbook! Featuring art by Roger Robinson (THE BRAVE & THE BOLD, BATMAN: GOTHAM KNIGHTS)! Date Available: 08/19/2009 BONUS REVIEW by JOHN SCHAFFER  This week DC tries yet again to revive the old MLJ hero line with The Web. What we are given is a classic story of what a man with a s**tload of money and a whole bunch of true grit can do. With enough classic plot twists and a few valuable messages (check out the Web's message to the world on the last page!) the book can be looked at in two ways. First, it's standard comic fare that falls shy of today's multimedia, crossover, tie-in expectations or second, it's a good old fashion comic story that reminds us that not everything in the world of comics has to be as complicated as real life. So sit back with a cold soda, put your feet up and enjoy! I give it 7 out of 10 Grahams VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
