The few remaining reviews show very positive feedback lauding the use of the Macintosh. In hindsight, much of the praise is directed towards the promised potential of digital art and not always the results on display at the time."
I bought the comic when it was new, I was in elementary school. Shout out to "Four Color Fantasies" comic shop.
Among my friends and I, we mostly thought it was a gimmick. There was nothing particularly good about it and it was really derivative. It definitely wasn't "Tron", that was actually groundbreaking.
