Summary: Substandard Stuff; For Die-Hard Dorkin Fans Only.
Comment: I'd read some of Evan Dorkin's Hectic Planet shorts in Dark Horse Presents a few years ago, and was impressed by the touching, funny, relationship-driven stories. So I decided to buy the 3 collected volumes of Hectic Planet. So far it's mostly a dud.....
The first volume revolves around an uninteresting bunch of petty crooks called a "Pirate Corp$", as they fly around space stealing things and making enemies. (The first half of the book is a poor man's Star Wars...) Things start to look up in the second half, as the team gets stuck on a planet, and Dorkin starts to actually develop his characters. Still, I found nothing even remotely interesting about the characters and situations, and, to make matters worse, the book is VERY poorly bound; It almost completely fell apart in the hour and a half it took me to read it.
I'm sure that the later volumes will improve; After all, Dorkin is one of the modern masters of comics. But maybe only Dorkin fanatics should pick this up.....Try Dork! or Milk & Cheese instead.
