 Starwing Bravo 2009-02-17 . chapter 3Hey. I guess I'm a new reviewer, or something. I wanted to say that this is really cool. The genetics thing in the first chapter was interesting, since I'm really interested in genetics and stuff like that. And then the second chapter pretty much summed up my favored situation for the superhuman. Good job. |
 Mr Ragna Badguy 2009-02-16 . chapter 2Herro new reviewer here! :) Okay, basically I think I can link the prologue to this chapter immediately. Interesting to see the whole issue of genetic engineering going into the aspect of Marvel comics although I did come across this kind of plot in varying ways before. :) Actually I think this idea is common in sci-fi but I'm not too sure. :S Anyway, good opening here. I like it that in a very real sense, it kick started the plot right from the start. :) Just wonder what will happen to the kid in the future since I assume he will be the main character here. Just something here that bugs me though. The way you justified human genetic experimenting in this story in the legal aspect is a bit abrupt. I'm no giant in law education, but from what I've known, this kind of thing is illegal in this current society and that if carried over to fiction with the same era setting, it's only logical to think the same. So I think that maybe it could be better for you to do some background info justfying this kind of thing in a realistic sense. Either that or you can try doing the experiment part illegally in the plot. imo, this kind of thing don't really fit in well in a present day setting which I guess is the case here. On a side note though, this part reminds me of the Gears in the Guilty Gear games. XD Anyway, good story here on the whole. And yeah, if you want to return the review favor which I truly hope so, then I guess you can start with A Ranger's Tale since I'm in a bit of overdrive mode for this one plot wise although it's not my top priority fic atm. :) |

Interesting prologue.
I like that you're writing in the first person, and the story as you've given it so far sounds interesting and unusual. The bit about the symbols on the body especially is mysterious, it's a good hook to make us want to read the rest of the story.
It's rather short though. I would try to extend it a bit, the ending of the prologue especially seems a bit abrupt.
