Faith #1: Digital Exclusive Edition by Dave Sharpe, Tom Brennan, Marguerite Sauvage, Francis Portela, Andrew Dalhouse, Jody Houser
3.0
A partial galley of this comic was kindly provided through NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review.
I really wanted to love this comic! :(
I did enjoy the story line, although it was not something new and overly exciting in itself. I also enjoyed the variety of body shapes and skin colours represented in the comic.
I did, however, find that the cover image is misleading in regard to the quality of the illustrations found within the comic itself. I really liked the style and colouring of the cover image, but was unpleasantly surprised that the illustrations are not of such quality on the inside.
The illustrations are not bad or terrible, but they are simply not as good as I expected them to be. Or maybe they are simply not to my taste. There were some awkward postures, as well as numerous facial renderings which looked strange or unnatural. Faith's boss, some of the prisoners, and even Faith herself sometimes looked scarier than the actual villains (in my opinion).
I enjoyed the style of the daydream/dream sequences more than the style of the drawings within the actual story.
Overall, I did like this comic and I would like to see what happens next. I do not think that I would purchase this comic for myself though, but maybe as a gift to someone else.
