This is what I call, a Pleasant Surprise. I’d never heard of this comic before, I was just looking up something else on my iPad last Thursday, and I happened to see this advertised in the Dark Horse digital app, and so I bought it. And boy am I happy that I did. This book is from writer Jeremy Love, and artist Robert Love, the brothers behind a company called Gettosake Entertainment, this is one Hell of an action-packed story. The FBI discovered Jonathan Fierce when he was 8 years old, as he had a knack for predicting when certain crimes would happen. Jump forward 20 years and he’s their top profiler. When what should be a routine operation goes deadly wrong, Fierce is desperate to clear his name and bring the bad guys to justice. But this isn’t just a by the numbers action/revenge tale. While it is heavy on the action, the Jeremy knows just when to take a break in the story to give us some deep characterization, seeing Fierce interacting with his coworkers and his therapist, as well as flashbacks into his sometimes brutal childhood, from a young boy to his teens. Jamaican gang-lords, female African ninja assassins, international conspiracies, this story has it all. And Robert’s art is a beautiful thing to behold. It’s a visual marvel, like watching a movie on paper. I don’t want to give too much away but, trust me, get this! I give it a rare FIVE STARS.
