Alien Bounty Hunter: Volume 1 by Nick Robles, David M. Booher, Stephen Levinson, Damian A. Wassel, Adrian F. Wassel, F.J. DeSanto
3.0
This seems to be a decent start to a series. The overall story arc seems interesting and I’m curious to how it unfolds. This is the story of Ben Marsden, a bounty hunter who receives an offer he cannot refuse. Raised by his guardian who is now very ill, he needs the money to treat her and save their community. Ben has a technie backup. The new assignment comes from secret government agency and he is sent to retrieve a fugitive.
I appreciate how difficult it is to tell a nuanced story with few words and art. This struggle is clear as flashbacks are used to provide the backstory. Unfortunately the flashbacks tended to break the flow and create some confusion. With time it became easier to distinguish flashbacks as stream of consciousness. The only other issue was that the transition from issue to issue requires attention to detail and I found it seemed to skip vital steps. Despite these flaws I am invested in this tale.
I enjoyed the art style. The vivid colors and its use to distinguish settings was excellent. There were a few scenes that were overpowered by the text but generally a good blend.
If interested in action hero with heart and aliens, you can try this recent release. Few swear words, some violence but no nudity.
Thank you NetGalley for a digital copy. My opinion is honest and not influenced by being offered a copy for review.
