I recently reviewed After Dark #1 for CBR and, in the process, wrote the following sentences: "This may seem odd, but the biggest surprise in reading this comic created by Training Day director Antoine Fuqua and actor Wesley Snipes comes from the lack of a character that is obviously Snipes in disguise. When it comes to comics created by an actor, there’s usually a character that is drawn in the actor’s likeness and is obviously the role he would be playing if this got made as a movie. After Dark #1 doesn’t have the Snipes stand-in, thankfully, but that doesn’t stop it from reading somewhat like a movie pitch instead of a proper comic. The plot is a standard quest with the ensemble group that doesn’t quite get along. Even the dark edges Peter Milligan puts on the dialogue at certain points can’t raise the issue above mediocrity."You can read the rest HERE!
