Satellite Sam #1 – Review

By: Matt Fraction (writer) and Howard Chaykin (art)

The Story: A 1950s TV serials star is murdered.  Who done it?

Review: There is good and bad in this first issue.  A lot of your enjoyment is going to come down to personal taste and how much you like the creators when they are working in their preferred particular style.

I’m not a tremendous Matt Fraction fan; I’ve enjoyed some of his Marvel work (Iron Fist, Hawkeye, FF), but not others (Uncanny X-Men, Fantastic Four, Defenders, FEAR ITSELF OMG!).  I think my only exposure to his creator owned work is Casanova, which I own and have tried about 20 times to read, but can never get past the second issue.  So, he’s hit and mostly miss for me.
