The Wrong Earth, Vol. 1 by Tom Peyer, Paul Constant
3.0
3.5/5
AHOY comics is a new company, and The Wrong Earth written by Tom Peyer with art by Jamal Igle is their first series.
The story focuses on Dragonflyman and Stinger, characters from different Earths. One is a hero, the other a villain. When they trade places things go off the rail fast. While the concept of alternate worlds isn't new, Peyer and Igle approach it in a clever way that made me first mildly interested, then invested in the plot. They highlight differences between worlds through characterization and art (mainly coloring).
I felt entertained, but I also found dialogue unnecessarily over the top in places and characterization, especially of the super-villain, lacking subtlety.
That said, I think The Wrong Earth is well worth a read and if AHOY comics continue to offer more similar stories, it will win many fans. I'll check their next publications for sure.
