Artwork: 3.7 out of 5
What a strong solid effort on the artwork in this issue. I felt every
panel was nice and crisp. I think that at times the shades of gray
started to get jumbled but as a while it worked very well. The
characters remained the same from panel to panel and some really stood
out to me. The cover image alone is my favorite and I can see why it
was chosen. Very cool work.
Story: 3.6 out of 5
Okay now there are two sides to this part of the review. Basing it on
the story that was presented it was very solid. From start to finish
the dialogue was clear and it kept my attention. Moved at a faster pace
but it was an action issue so all is good. My gripe is that I have no
idea who these characters are. For a first issue I was left in the dark
on them. Now I'm cool with what went on but I would have maybe liked a
page of back story at the beginning just so I know whats going on.
Dying Breath: 3.7 out of 5
This is a good first issue. While I had my gripe with no back story,
what was presented to me held my attention and made me want to know
more. The artwork was very cool and I think that there is easily
something here to jump on board with. Some minor rough edges can be
touched on but overall the creative team has my full support. Very cool
start guys.
