Rumble Volume 1: What Color of Darkness? by John Arcudi
2.0
The owner of the comic book store (or the guy behind the counter, anyway) kept making rapid fire recommendation after recommendation, and it was super overwhelming until I finally just said, "Yeah, that sounds good," so he would stop. That was the whole reason for my buying this comic, and I should have trusted my gut because I had a feeling it wasn't going to be my thing.
For me, I just didn't find any of the characters enjoyable, and the plot actually felt a little bit like that guy at the comic book store. It was just throwing too much at me and I couldn't keep up or really understand what was happening until about three issues in. Even then, I wasn't super invested. I was curious, and I think a lot of people would find it interesting, which is the reason for the 2 stars. I don't know that this was even a bad comic. It's just something I should never have picked up.
