Read the great buzz we have received for Flash Gordon: Zeitgeist #1!
"The set up here is well paced and the art work by Daniel Lindro has a real classic, pulp fiction quality to it. Bottom line: If you like sci-fi and 1930's-40's period drama, then this book is for you. Highly recommended!" - Comic Hype
"Flash Gordon: Zeitgeist is an exceptional introduction to the series, one that feels at home on Earth and in outer space. Both writer Eric Trautmann and artist Daniel Indro perfectly mix that fantastic and wicked world of Ming the Merciless, with the nostalgic and hopeful one of Flash Gordon. With the hunt now on for the 20th century's most evil mind, Flash Gordon: Zeitgeist will no doubt continue to thrill." - Broken Frontier
"This is a promising start to Dynamite's latest attempt to revive a classic comic icon." - IGN
"With the first issue at a dollar, it's the perfect opportunity to try something different. Dynamite has done it again with this revival of an old familiar franchise. I can't wait to read more." - Comic Vine
"The introductory issue is pretty solid as far as first issues go as we're introduced to the key characters, the antagonist, and the world of the future (circa the 1930s). I like that the story takes pieces from the source, and adds a bit of its own flair." - Major Spoilers |
