Self-described as "Inspired by the music & lyrics of Fallout Boy", Pete Wentz launched his comics title Fallout Toy Works this week. In consideration of prior publishing ventures by celebrities that were unable to hook readers and profits, comments for the news of Wentz's deal with Image Comics was less than enthusiastic. Many would-be buyers conveyed reluctance because they felt that the comics medium was being compromised for swift lucrativeness on star-power rather than talented writing.
Rosaria Dawson, with a genuine interest in comics, scribed Occult Crimes Taskforce. Nicholas Cage, a well-known Superman fan,and his son Weston Cage co-wrote VooDoo Child. Tyrese Gibson unleashed Mayhem at the San Diego Comic-Con and to nationwide comics sellers last Aug. Dawson's and Cage's titles didn't spike throughout the comics community or industry. The verdict by sales is stil out on Mayhem.
Then comes to mention Umbrella Academy by My Chemical Romance's Gerard Way. Released
back in 2007, the limited series was a battering ram to skeptics' wary impressions. Umbrella Academy won Best Finite/Limited Series at 2008s Eisner Awards. The series has been nominated to a few categories for the 2009 Harvey Awards, repeating a try in the Best Continuing or Limited Series category.
Fall Out Boy's bassist and contributing lyricist is out to claim his own niche in graphic fiction. Fallout Toy Works writer Brett Lewis and artist Sam Basri seemingly strive to outdo each other with Pete Wentz's concept.
Basri's manga influenced illustrations enliven the pages as if directly adapted from the big screen.
Rich becomes an understatement to the rendered backgrounds that doesn't sympathize to simplistic
backgrounds. Panels depicting the futuristic society are elaborate, putting foundational layers to secure an imagination's attentiveness. Another definitive checkmark is found in character portaiture. Singular identity is given to poise, build, and features opens a new category of appreciation. Panels break away from the conventional at legitimate points of the plot and sustains the linear following from becoming lulling.
Lewis' writing escapes the capture of captions, propelling the story with the strength of dialogue. The
dialogue isn't overpowering but sufficiently works with the comics script. Lewis keeps the story basic in the first comic, "Tiffany Blues". The story leads down interesting avenues, however, with routing signs of better to come in the following five issues. The humanistic tie-in to the science fictional plot commits to a different outlook between the man-and-machine take. The product of android technology is used as a reflective device for a human factor that, even in the future, drives relations and psychology while still an emotional conundrum.
Pete Wentz conceptualized the comic book, further worked on with Darren Romanelli and Nathan Cabrera, from Fall Out Boy's song "Tiffany Blews".
Fallout Toy Works is a limited series published by Image Comics. In stores presently, costing $3.99 and is a 32 pages read.

I live in washington DC. can i buy this comic anywhere in dc? Such as the comic book store in union station?
Yes, any comic shop in DC. Fantom Comics in Union Station would have it available if not sold out. I'd give a call just in case, Diamond.
