Justin Jordan, Tradd Moore

Size: 0 pages
Price: 14.99

Comics about bullied kids becoming heroes are a penny a dozen but good ones are rare. Justin Jordan has written a violent high school vigilante comic on par with Millar’s “Kick-Ass”. Some of Moore’s panels are linier than I usually like but the man draws excellent facial expressions. The cover of this trade has a Liefeldian grimace, but within the book there are dozens of different grimaces and cartoony facial expressions that would seem to have no purpose with extricated spines and a Great Lake of blood, but somehow, Moore pulls it off.

I was sad to have missed this comic in issues but I’m definitely buying the trade, and looking forward to the next arc.

    I’v only read the first one, but I might start reading the series again.

    I was listening to the comixology podcast with an interview with the artist and he said that there were going to be sequel series.

      @Ryan The Lion: That’s great news. I was encouraged by the “1” on the spine of the book. Can’t wait to see where the creative team takes this next.
