No,
it’s not over yet, though perhaps soon. Cave and the gang continue their trip
through multiple realities and time periods, in pursuit of the Mighty Mole II
and the EBX thugs piloting it. In the heat of battle, losses are felt on both
sides, and each is eager to make the other pay.
This is a
story what would have worked much better in a graphic novel form – all chapters
read in one sitting, in some sort of cohesive story. Being doled out in monthly
dribs and drabs has made it one confusing narrative that suggests even the
writers don’t realize how bad it is.
Okay, that
may have been harsh. Maybe I’m unsophisticated. Maybe my attention span isn’t
what it should be. But we’re talking comic books here, folks. If you want
people in for the long haul, you gotta give them more than this. You can’t
string them along issue after issue with promises of, “Just wait for the
pay-off. It will be worth it.”
So
far, it hasn’t been worth it. Cave Carson has a Cybernetic Eye has been a
miserable experience for me, one I hope never to repeat. If were not my job, I
would not read it.
