Sigo leyendo por inercia, pero no porque me importe lo más mínimo lo que ocurre. Como son cómics breves y no me cuesta nada leerlos (los cojo en préstamo en la biblioteca digital), pues he decidido terminar la saga, pero es preocupante ir ya por el 6º y que ni el protagonista muestre interés por lo que ocurre a su alrededor.
Seguimos con Sombra obedeciendo a Wednesday sin cuestionarse nada. Aunque aquí vemos un atisbo de lo que presuntamente ocultan algunos personajes, no nos detenemos mucho en el tema. Se comienza a hablar más de los dioses y de lo que quiere lograr Wednesday, pero las interacciones entre los implicados son sosas y da la impresión de que les da pereza ser más claros y directos.
Una reunión que no aprovecha su potencial, un secuestro insulso protagonizado por inútiles y una reaparición que le da algo de vidilla a la trama, esos son los 3 hechos clave de este cómic. Solo la reaparición vale la pena, ya que es un personaje que tiene cierto toque inquietante y que creo que sabe más de lo que dice. Y, ante todo esto, Sombra sigue manteniendo un comportamiento pasivo. A ver si se espabila y deja de tener una actitud tan irreal ante sucesos aparentemente extraordinarios…
Al igual que las partes anteriores, leedlo solo si buscáis una pequeña distracción. Desde mi punto de vista, no aporta nada.

Anansi "I look around when I came in and I thought, 'Where's the rest of us?' And then I thought, just because we are few and they are many, we are weak and they are powerful ... it does not mean that we are lost."
The graphic novel adaptation of American Gods. Shadows 6/9: Love the writing and exposition by Gaiman but the art is a little flat and lets down the storytelling. In this issue Mr. Nancy tells a fun tale with a moral, Wednesday tries to rally other Gods to fight and Shadow is kidnapped.

Managed to conflate this issue with the last as I read them back to back. THIS is the issue in which the Gods reveal themselves to Shadow and it's awesome! Really liked the art in this one, especially the use of blue/white for Mr Nancy's warm up story. I can't say that I'm that fussed on Laura - less so here than the tv series... and I really need to get at the novel! Once again, I did find myself thinking that reading the individual comics is less satisfying than waiting for the graphic novel, but at least with this series, things do happen in each issue.

I was so excited for this one, because FINALLY A LOOK AT THE GODS but Odin's reveal was kind of a let down. The art style didn't do it for me, and at the very least his full page panel could have been on a page turn to at least give a slight bit of excitement. Probably my least favorite issue so far.

I liked it well enough. I think I just needed to take a break before reading another issue.

I love the comic variant cover so much more than the other. Kali is beautiful.
This issue was good. Everything flowed really well and the layout worked wonderfully for the plot.

An excellent graphic adaptation of a true classic novel.

Finally it comes together. First 5 novels were somewhat confusing. I'm glad I have persevered.
