Megacity 1
Earth re-created Eden by programming people to lose negative emotions. It did not last. Someone is releasing evil "Pulses" onto earth and the demons are wreaking havoc on the innocent. It is up to a team of five to stop them.
The good: To make this simple: If you like sci-fi comics, you will like Megacity 909. The creators of Defiance made a successful second series here. The art has well-done paintings and the detail is precise. This first issue gets all of the background information done in about two pages and gets right to the point. There will be violence - and it will be done in a way that is not overly gory. The B cover shown has a manga look to it and that is not represented by the realistic portrayals in the issue.
The bad: This will be nit-picky stuff. The cover leaves a bit to be desired. If these characters were always scantily-clad in the book it would make sense, but they are not. As much as I like the art and coloring, some panels are a bit too dark and could use a bit more clarity.
Overall: This is a slight downgrade from Defiance. In it's own right - it is a very good book and I recommend it to any sci-fi readers.
