Godstorm #1 Zenescope – This issue introduces us to one of Zeus’
children, a young man named Julian, who works as an enforcer for a crime lord. It soon
becomes apparent that he doesn't like his job or his boss. Its just as apparent
that he is unaware of his lineage or the fact that he is more than human.
We
are given glimpses of his earlier life that do well to illustrate his character
and his motivations. The prologue then offers us a hint of trouble to come and
sets things up nicely for issue #2.
Despite the previous zero release this
still feels like a first issue. Pat Shands writing is on par with the earlier
one-shot prequels; I’m really interested to see where he takes this.
Jason
Johnson’s pencils somehow manage to be tight and sketchy at the same time, in a
style bordering on cartoony, but it works well with the storyline. I especially
liked the “school bus” scene. It was very realistic.
Overall, Godstorm #1 is a good “first” issue that whetted my appetite like a
first issue should.
