Not as exciting as I'd remembered

The Mechanic (1998) - Joe Chiodo, John Layman

I read this a while ago, and bought it on sale, for the art.   I'd known I'd loved Chiodo's art, so this had to be good, right?   

 

Except that the story isn't all that exciting.   Time travel, with a heavy The Time Machine vibe, this came off as, well, that story with a couple wrenches thrown in.   I just didn't think it was highly original. 

 

However, the art is, as always, amazing.   Chiodo always manages to blow me away, and it was worth a reread just for the art.  He came up with part of this plot, so I may stick to something with his art, but conceived of, and written by, someone else if I read more graphic novels with art by him.
