THE LAST WHIZ KIDS STORY # 1: RESEÑAS AMERICANAS

He podido comprobar haciendo este cómic que ya es una proeza conseguir que aún tus conocidos más cercanos SE LO LEAN. 

No digamos ya, que te den una opinión sobre el mismo. Muchas gracias a los lectores españoles que lo han hecho. 

Por eso, es un triunfo total que medios americanos te reseñen media docena de veces el cómic. 

Y cuando lo hacen en términos más que laudatorios, uno alcanza ese raro éxtasis creativo que conecta al autor con su público y da por buena la labor realizada, una que sería imposible sin el magistral trabajo de JORGE SANTAMARÍA, JUAN MORENO Y DANIELE CARAMANICO.
MAX READS COMICS: The entire team steps up to the job of paying homage to the visual style of peak Wolfman/Perez NTT, and they do it WELL. Highly detailed double page spreads, packed pages that still don’t feel crowded, action scenes that are dynamic but not confusing, and narrative captions carrying inner monologues abound! The coloring work is sumptuous, too: as startling as the first issue of the Baxter-series “Titans” was to my eyes back in the day. Angosto tells a heck of an ambitious story here, too, and uses the massive page count well: never once does this book drag or feel “padded,” nor does it overstay its welcome. You race to the end, here, and only feel disappointed by the fact that the next issue isn’t out yet. And you not only get “re-introduced” to BBC classic characters here, but you meet “the new kids,” too; original creations invented just for this story line who feel like they “belong” here as much as anyone else. 

WEDNESDAY PULL LIST: Pedro Angosto knows his comics and boy, he loves them! His passion for comics comes across in every caption and line of dialogue. He set out to write a love letter to the New Teen Titans that he and I fell in love with in the 1980s, and in doing so Pedro also found time to send a small Valentine’s card to the Teen Titans of the swinging sixties, and further acknowledging that ‘growing up super’ has gotta be weird as anything and hard as hell. Santamaria’s artwork is light and pleasant, with expressive faces and body acting, and great action, continuing that particular Big Bang feel of indy crossed with classic. And he’s given a lot to do, with action and drama both in present moment and in flashback. Lovely color work brings it all together — while I love good black-and-white, I’m ultimately a sucker for color comics and I have been noticing more lately when it’s good, effective coloring, as we have here.

 
MODERN RETRO COMICS REVIEWS: But give it to writer Pedro Angosto to once again impress me with how well he has matured into a writer of these super-hero tales to the point that I'm not feeling like he is outright emulating anyone else. He dedicates this first of a 3-parter to Marv Wolfman and George Pérez for obvious reasons—the entire concept of the Whiz Kids was essentially the Big Bang version of DC's Teen Titans. Pedro is operating as a writer within a paradigm that embraces the more fast-paced and adventure style of the Bronze Age of comics moreso than the modern slow-paced, dialogue slog of hyper-continuity that undergirds so much of what comes out of DC and Marvel these days. 
 
ED GOSNEY: These four-color thrillers will remind you of the tales of yesteryear (although please take note that a couple panels make this a mature title), providing lots of fun for readers, and I really enjoyed this issue! 

FIRST COMICS NEWS: I’ve definitely been looking forward to “The Last Whiz Kids Story, Part 1” as it’s penciled by Spanish artist Jorge Santamaría. Two decades ago Santamaría did amazing work on the Avengers: Celestial Quest miniseries from Marvel Comics. It’s great to see Santamaría’s art once again in American comic books. He does a superb job drawing Pedro Angosto’s story.
PAT CASEY: I purchased the digital copy today. Outstanding comic! It goes beyond a simple homage to the Teen Titans. Great to see such talent producing fun comics again. 

DOC SCHAEFER: Jumping straight into issue #14 and we're taking a different road entirely as we get part 1 of the Last Whiz Kids Story. Mr. ? is dead and the hero known as Galahad must deal with his life choices with his former teammates from The Whiz Kids. New creative team of writer Pedro Angosto, penciller Jorge Santamaria, and inker Juan Moreno prove the understand the who's, what's, and how's of creating a Big Bang story. We also get some insight into what became of some of the other heroes in the Big Bang Universe. A truely well done book! 

CHARLIE BOATNER: I’ve been exploring Big Bang comics and your work stands out. I prefer team books and you understand their dynamics. I like how you bring your outside interests and knowledge into the stories, like Roy Thomas used to do. Your latest story in BBA #14 has a good setup. Galahad’s building apprehension creates good tension and the Watchman’s counsel brings a moment of calm. I was surprised when the story didn’t conclude, though. You were gutsy to make those many changes to the Whiz Kids and Whizzards, but I think it was worth it. Your new members grab attention. (Although I do miss She-Borg; thanks for keeping Gargoyla!) Four-armed Cosmica is fun – it’s as though Deja Thoris had been a Thark.
