Genesis Avalon audio drama

It's a good show for superhero lovers. The writer gives takes an excellent spin on the genre, and the actors really bring it to life. A solid four stars!

It’s a superhero story but so much more. The old gods, a corrupt government (at a time when such a thing was only believable in fiction), Arthurian legends, and more combine in an amazing tale of heroism, both super and ordinary! And if you listen closely, you might just hear some of your favorite voice actors before they were stars!

I liked the story line a lot but kissing noises are my biggest pet peeve. Made it through episode 35 but the beginning of 36 was so harsh for me I just can’t finish the series. I just can’t.

I have conflicting feelings about Genesis Avalon. I really like some of the characters. The mixing is quite good. And I do like the voice acting. Some of the characterization is odd (primarily that of Jaina's, she didn't know her mentor all the well, and her anger with Exodus is out of place). I could have lived with this, and some other issues (which you run across in even the best shows). It's just so depressing... I know that it's suppose to be dark, but it's not gritty Batman dark. It's Spider-Man depressing dark but five times worse because there isn't an uplifting joke or character to lighten the mood or be optimistic. I did try to keep listening because I liked a number of the characters, but in the end, it was just too draining. I think that one or two jokes or moments of hope could benefit this show. I kept waiting for it, but it never came.
