One might say I grew up on Michael Turner’s masterpiece –
Fathom. His art, creation and mood were unsurpassed in my world of CB art and
storylines. Aspen was and is the quintessential CB vixen. Yes, I know she is an
illustration, 2-dimensional and not real. Still she captured the imagination of
many a fan. As a testament to Aspen (and Turner’s) hold on the CB geeks of the
world, she even had her own swimsuit issue.
So, Dawn of War Beginnings … not poorly illustrated, nor
poorly written but it is NOT Turner nor ‘his’ Aspen. The untimely death of
Michael Turner left a void in the CB world that, I am sorry all you talented
artists out there, has yet to be matched or replaced. This CB is a far cry from
those days. This CB is a far cry from the thrill of turning the cover of a
Michael Turner creation and enjoying the visuals therein.
Sorry – but pass IMHO on this effort …
