I both agree and disagree with the two preceding comments. How's that for equivocation? ;-) Three installments in, and Kamandi is still the only strip in the book that completely works for me...and by now you've got to know how fussy I am about Kirby homage, right?
That said, if anyone says it simply doesn't feel like the genuine Kamandi to them, I can totally relate...because that's exactly how I feel about Pope's Adam Strange. I admire his work and I could enjoy this strip thoroughly if only it was called something else...but there's little about this other than the names that says "Adam Strange" to me. And but me no buts about "out of continuity" because that's not what I'm talking about; it's the essence of the character I'm not feeling. I think this is the same as volksjager's complaint about Kamandi; it's just a matter of personal taste.
Adam Strange as John Crichton is an interesting choice, though...!
