...And then it all went horribly wrong.
Word on the street is that author Rob Schrab started to have disagreements with his publisher somewhere in the late stages of Scud, and these translate to the final chapters being phones in, first in terms of writing, and then in terms of artwork. By the final issue, the art has regressed to a level best described as "Don't Give A Damn."
It's the collapse of the writing that is the most distressing. The story utterly jumps the shark by overtly ignoring the previous cliffhanger ending and wandering through a series of increasingly inept genre parodies before signing off with an insultingly unsatisfying ending that can only be interpreted as the author saying "Phok you!" to his publisher and his fans.
So why two stars? Well, the first half of this collection isn't bad. Only the last two issues show a real lack of effort, and while the action is much less inspired, it's still vaguely satisfying.
Should you read this? Well, if you're among the fans who have been waiting for Scud to finally end (which it will finally do with a four-issue miniseries forthcoming in 2008), the setup might be important. But for people who want to save their money and get something of quality instead, look elsewhere.
