Vertigo: Progetti Futuri 2.0

[Azrael]

For a finale, Frosbite #6 is perfectly serviceable. It wraps up the book's signature focus well, brings its character arcs full circle, and even squeezes in a tantalizing promise of future issues down the pike. That said, Joshua Williamson's capper can't help but feel a bit bland when all is said and done. Some of that likely comes down to time. With only a single issue remaining there was only so much more the writer could add. The rest unfortunately falls to the narrative itself, which never seemed to fully take advantage of its strong initial premise. Williamson put the bulk of his focus in his characters, and while there are certainly some well developed moments—Keaton's fate is particularly fitting—they never quite reach the heights that the drama of the narrative suggests. Jason Shawn Alexander's thrilling art still makes this an easy read, just not one that feels up to its full potential. -Jeff

Final Score:

6.8/10

Review: SAVAGE THINGS #1

10/10

http://www.comicosity.com/review-savage-things-1/

[Azrael]

There are times when a new comic book series can reach out and grab you in a way that you never expected. This is one of those times, and Savage Things #1 is a very impressive debut. Justin Jordan and Ibrahim Moustafa display a lot of confidence in their abilities, and it shows in every panel, and every line of dialogue. Essentially, the book is about a group of sociopathic children who were recruited to be black ops monsters for the government a few decades ago. In the present, one of the children is making waves with some very high profile murders, which forces the agency to forcibly recruit one of the other survivors to stop him. At first glance, it's fairly straightforward. But the storytelling is so crisp and clear that it's easy to get sucked into the narrative. The only time there is some confusion comes because Moustafa draws the killer's face a little bit too much like another character in the issue. Maybe that was the intent, but it's difficult to tell. Despite that minor hiccup, Savage Things #1 has a great premise, fantastic art, and is almost flawless executed. If you love comics, this issue belongs on your pull list. -Blair

Final Score:

9.0/10
