Review: Red Ten #1

Red Ten #1, Comixtribe – Written by Tyler James, with art by Cesar Feliciano.

The second outing from fledgling publisher, Comixtribe, has a team of superheroes being picked off one at a time al `a Agatha Christie’s Ten Little Indians. In issue 1 we are introduced to the team, The Alliance, and a great villain in the character of The Oxymoron. As the heroes are drawn in to what will eventually become their death-trap, they, and we, quickly learn that not all is as it seems.

As you would expect with this sort of tale, there is the obligatory ten stanza rhyme which outlines how each of the heroes is expected to die, and author James wastes no time in getting on with the mayhem.

The art by Feliciano is well suited to this type of storytelling, and the pages he took his time on reflect a great talent. While some pages did appear rushed, they were still clean and clear with crisp lines. His character designs, while archetypal, are still fresh and original. All in all, a good effort.

Comixtribe, as an imprint, continues to impress me with the quality of the products they produce, and the excellence of the talents that they showcase.

Red Ten is another strong contribution.
