By Alt A flying spaceman saves a planet from a volcanic eruption by causing the volcanic energy to discharge above the atmosphere. For that, King Thulu, who wanted the planet to be destroyed, decides that the flying space man should be destroyed. King Thulu's subjects are not sure about his logic, particularly since the flying space man does good deeds like rescuing ships from space whales.Flying space man (whose name is actually Cosmos) is feared by those he helps, doing nothing to resolve the insecurity issues that stem from his origin in the Bigger Bang. King Thulu plays upon Cosmos' need for acceptance, in part by giving him a cosmically desirable space woman to care about. While that should give new import to the title The Bigger Bang, it disappointingly fails to take advantage of that opportunity.Snappy dialog like "Ultra-Def Trans-Spatial Rift Control Monitors were a mistake!" is sort of funny but most of the writing is New Age pap masquerading as depth. The sketchy art is masquerading as stylish but it's really just sketchy. It's difficult to tell if we're supposed to take the story seriously when talking space whales float around in the story but this is an alternate universe so I guess I can accept the possibility of talking space whales.Fortunately, the concept and plot are better than the writing and art that convey the story, so I didn't regard The Bigger Bang as a disaster. Unfortunately, attempts to make Cosmos interesting by filling him with guilt and self-loathing just make him whiny, and since he's too powerful a being to be endangered by anything, dramatic tension in the story is lacking. Supporting characters are caricatures of characters (the evil ruler lusting for power, his powerful female warrior who finds Cosmos to be more worthy of loyalty than her evil boss). The talking space whale might be the most interesting character, but it only pops up a couple of times.
3 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Kurt Vonnegut by way of Jack Kirby By Mark This is one of my favorite miniseries to come out this year. This is the story of a cosmic superhero that is treated as a harbinger of doom by nearly every life he saves but never loses the will to help. There's a strong sense of melancholy and a bright sense of humor that grounds this book even as the cosmic weirdness ratchets up. DJ Kirkbride has a real gift for writing relatable and hilarious characters but he moves outside of his comfort zone here to deliver a story with the more epic scale that outer space necessitates. Vassilis Gogtzilas handles the art on this book and his work is just as expressive as the writing with these very loose, powerful figures that are just bursting with energy. The book wouldn't be half of what it is without Gogtzilas' imaginative, wonderfully constructed pages. Give it a whirl and I can almost guarantee that you'll find something that will stick with you.

By stickerooni This review originally published in www.lookingforagoodbook.com. Rated 3.0 of 5I have no idea how to rate and review this book. Both the story and the art have confounded me and I have read through this three times.Cosmos is a caped superhero-like being who was created in a big bang - the same big bang that wiped out human life (the bigger bang than that which created human life). Cosmos flies about space and saves planets from destruction. Another being, named King Thulu (who happens to look a lot like H.P. Lovecraft's monster Cthulu) wants Cosmos destroyed. But Thulu is more a of comical character and not respected, only feared, by his subjects. Meanwhile, Cosmos is not particularly confident with who he is, though he never wavers in his determination to save life (and typically that life fears and vilifies him). Thulu sends a woman, a three-eyed, green woman, to be a companion to Cosmos. She finds herself drawn to him.That's the story so far, in a nutshell.My biggest issue with the story is that I can't tell if I should be taking any of it seriously, or if it's all simply a big joke, or if it's a combination of these. Thulu's too much of a joke to be taken seriously, and Cosmos, despite his power and intentions is a patsy. But the girl, Wyan, is quite well created and has the serious manner that I would expect in this story. But it is hard to take her too seriously given the other major characters around her.And now let us discuss the art....I can't stop looking at this art. It has definitely established a style all its own, different from any other graphic novel that I've ever read. But is it good? Clearly what's 'good' in relation to art is subjective. And still, I can't decide if it's 'good.'The art looks as though the artist threw together some rough draft samples for approval, complete with spilled ink all over the pages, and someone looked at it and said, "That's great. Don't clean it up, leave it just like that. Maybe add a lot of ink splatter on all the pages. Now color it in."Rough, sketchy, splatter-filled art with a story that doesn't currently have an obvious direction with characters who are more caricature than anything real, in a setting in which the earth and humanity are already gone... what is supposed to draw me to this book? And yet -- I am drawn to it, and I don't know why.Because I've returned to this book repeatedly, even though I can't say that I like it, I give it three stars. I would check out the next volume and hope that things become much clearer (story and art).Looking for a good book? The Bigger Bang is a graphic novel that comes across as roughly created, but has much potential ... it's just hard to see where it's going with this first volume.I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher, through Netgalley, in exchange for an honest review.
