After spending three days at CGC I'm still waiting for an answer so until them, how about a review...

Even after the news of Star Wars leaving the Dark Horse nest I still respect the company. They have published amazing story and art between two covers all in the form of entertainment and they won't stop now. Their latest super hero comic is "Furious" starting with issue #1. Bryan J. L. Glass and Victor Santos put together in 22 pages what others put in four issues. But, is it any good? And fortunately yes, but unfortunately no.

The action rolls with the story as Beacon tries to be the hero she wants to be and not the media scapegoat the news makes her out to be. The artwork is a style that feels rushed, it's not that it isn't good, it's not what cries out "comic book" to me, however it does scream out read me, and I did. And after I finished I feel confused and conflicted.

On page 11, what occurs on the bottom of the panel leaves me with "I can't wait to see how this works out" all the way up to the final page, which I thought was great, but clashes against what I read only pages ago. How could this be? I only picked up the issue to give to a friend so I don't feel indebted to go on. I wonder if Dark Horse had a previous four issue limited series before this one. I enjoyed the comic, but this isn't a book I would collect month to month. Fortunately my friend wants it and I think I'll be furious if I don't read issue two before I get it for her.

The short of it is, I'll grade it as a strong solid Fine out of Near Mint.

Thanks for Reading
