The
Unforogttens: Mission of Tranquillity #2, Trinity Comic Ministries, 1994. The story, “Of Giants
and Dragons,” was created by Timothy A. Gagnon.
Our story
continues from issue #1 (reviewed here), where three teenagers discovered that
dabbling in the occult had consequences they were very unprepared for. The spiritual
warfare continues in the hallways of the local school, with and angel-demon
battle. And at the end, we are set up for a face-off between the angelic
Unforgottens and the demonic Brotherhood.
I had a
problem with the quality of the lettering is the first issue, and that problem
exists here, as well. However, there is a two-page feature at the end of the
book that has much better lettering, clearly done via computer. If that was
meant to test a new lettering process, I hope that it continues into the next
issue.
There are
moments of decent art, mostly in individual panels and figures. Yes, some are
drawn in the over-the-top style of the 1990s, but glimpses of artistic skill
are evident. The storytelling aspect of the comic is weak, but that is much
harder skill to learn and develop,
This
issue has one great advantage over the first. Issue #1 was printed on
traditionally-sized paper, but comic books tend to be published on slightly
smaller paper. Starting with this issue, the series is produced in traditional
comic book size. What that means for me is that the first issue is a little bit
of a mess, crunched up at the top, etc … while this issue and the others are in
pretty decent shape, even after more than two decades. For what it’s worth, the
paper quality is extremely high.
The
series contains two more published issues, and they are on the to-be-reviewed
list.
