Rex Libris, Volume I: I, Librarian by James Turner
2.0
Great concept, terrible execution.
Rex Libris is a gun-toting, four-thousand-year-old librarian charged with protecting the universe from evil, recovering overdue library books from space warlords, and shushing kids in the stacks. The idea here is that he is just one of many in the secret Ordo Bibliotheca, and that *all* librarians are secretly ass-kicking crimefighters.
While I love anything that tears down the librarian's bad rap, this comic is terribly overwritten--too many words, too many bad jokes. And the art is computer-generated and stiff. Give it a pass.
