I didn't get the first series but thanks to Christmas I managed to get both the TPBs (The 2nd one came today) and have pre-ordered the current series which is based on the second Metal Gear Solid game.
Anyone else follow the comics and what do you think it?
Personally I think the art lets the series down. Sometimes it can get pretty damn confusing what is going on, unless you've played the game... which shouldn't be happening at all. I would of much preferred more serious art instead of the scruffy, messy style they've gone for. It just doesn't fit the book IMO, especially for $4 an issue.
I wouldn't mind seeing some of the early Metal Gear games made into short minis to complete the whole story.

I agree totally about the art, in fact that is the only reason I won't buy it. The paint just makes it look amature, and I can't get into it.
I also don't like the fact that the comic is a direct port of the game. I was hoping for some new stuff, but oh well. It's a great idea, I think the game would translate well into a film or a comic, I just don't care for the way they did it this time.

I have been reading it, but yeah, the art makes it extremely difficult to follow. i was also hoping for some new info in the comics, but there isn't any.

I havn't been reading and i am not that big a fan of the game, but on reviewing the art via google, it really does suck. i Sthat even hand drawn or just doctored up pics from the game? this is the "art" you are referring to right?...
