THE GREAT PACIFIC #1
by Joe Harris and Martin Morazzo
The Great Pacific has an unusual premise. A young Oliver Queen type billionaire wants to clean up this massive trash dump in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, and gets caught in a web of espionage and intrigue. How does this story hold up? Read on and find out whether this book is best recycled or not.
Joe Harris starts the issue with an introduction scene that doesn't have much punch. The main character is so hard to like, it's been 3 hours since I read the book, I've forgotten his name. The storytelling feels confusing and scattered. I found it hard to keep up with what was going on with the plot, that I had to read it twice.
If the story is an extreme negative, the art is a massive positive. Martin Morazzo brings a style reminiscent of Chris Burnham or Tony Moore to the book. He makes the book look beautiful, no matter how much trash is on the page (both literally and figuratively).
The Great Pacific is a very "meh" book. I might give the next issue a try on digital if it gets cheap, but for now, I'm declaring this book: Waste.
STORY: 1/5
ART: 4/5
VERDICT: 2.5/5
