       It's not a stretch to say that I'm very disappointed in Volume 1
       of I Love Trouble. The main reason why I sought out the book was
       because of Mark A. Robinson artwork. I have been a follower of
       his on Deviant Art for a long time. I love his pencils that he
       has on his site. What's interesting is that he never post scans
       of his pencils. He only takes pictures of his finished pencils
       and uploads that to his page. My guess is that this is the only
       way he can combat art thieves who have made it a everyday
       occurrence to swipe art from DA and then make something out of
       the art, be it T Shirts, posters, prints, etc....So, by taking
       pics, it pretty much nips it in the bud.
       So, with this being the only way I get to see his art, I figured
       that I'd finally get around to see where his talents were ending
       up in and that was in I Love Trouble. Unfortunately, the writing
       is pretty weak and Mark's storytelling is lacking. It's
       confusing to put it mildly. Some of the scenes that he
       constructs just make no sense whatsoever and it hurts whatever
       flow it is able to generate. Also, I think the colors actually
       take away from his art. It's not surprising that the best part
       of the entire book are the sketches and doodles at the end of
       the book, which has more life and spark to them than anything
       else. Definitely a Skip. Story sucks.
