The hand-painted art in Defiance is gorgeous. The demons, techno-assassins,
and strange contrast between the hazy purple backgrounds and the overly-popping
foregrounds combine in a rather hypnotic swirl, giving it a rare stylistic
edge. Unfortunately, the storyline being propelled by these images
isn't quite up to the same leve. Basically, it's the usual comics-since-Spawn
trappings of evil demons from Hell, possession and body-leaping, and
hot babes looking hot with hot swords. A letter in the back compared
it to the Final Fantasy movie, which is a pretty accurate critique---style
gets behind the wheel, while story rides shotgun, sleeping soundly. |
