Little Toy Robot

Jesse Barrett calls Michael Chabon’s Escapist a sell-out. Little Toy Robot pretty much agrees.

[…] it’s high-concept pomo gamesmanship whose rewards are still unclear. After the first two issues, the safest conclusion is that the execution hasn’t equaled the concept.

The problem is that the stories are boring. By which I mean they operate at a very low level of excitement and didn’t keep my interest.

However, the reviewer and I and other people agree that the whole thing is not a washout. At the very least, the art is good, there are a few stand-outs, and there is still some potential for the quarterly anthology. [via Booklut]
