When I was at Wizard World Dallas, Forsaken was the
booth next to Joe Singleton's in Artist Alley. I kept
looking at their comic and thinking, "Boy that looks
cool," and I was right. It's an awesome comic that
starts off in media res and then flashes back to the
earlier chain of events that let up to the defeat at
the beginning.
The most impressive thing about this comic is the art
and color. The whole beginning is in grayscale, and
the whole flashback is in vivid color. The characters
are well designed and flashy looking. It's just a
very pretty comic with an interesting looking plot.
My only problem is that I don't believe it gets far
enough into the main plot in the first issue. It
gives you enough to be interesting, but not really
enough of a cliffhanger ending to hook you.
I do see great potential in it though, and it is
utterly beautiful. You should definitely go check out
the previews for it on the Image Comics Site
http://www.imagecomics.com
or take a peek at it in your local comic store.
