Review: Postal #1

Postal #1 - Image Comics, Top Cow Productions

Have you committed a murder, robbed a bank or got caught selling illegal drugs and need a place to hide out, maybe get a new identity? Then the town of Eden Wyoming should be your destination!
Eden Wyoming is home to some of the worst criminals at large, including the mayor. Everyone in Eden has something they are running/hiding from. For this reason the town has a zero-tolerance policy; there is to be no crime of any kind that will attract outside law officials eyes.  There is a single-tight knit family in charge of Eden, with youngest son, Mark Shiffron running the Postal division of Eden.

Mark, the son of the Mayor of Eden, is responsible for all in and outgoing mail in this small-knit community and he just happens to suffer from Asperger’s Syndrome. Unbeknownst to Mark he stumbles upon a small mystery, when one of the residents of Eden’s mail is damaged Mark’s Asperger’s kicks in as he has an uncontrollable need to fix damaged mail.

There is also an unwanted murder investigation forming, the town of Eden has had its first official murder in twenty-five years and this can only spell trouble for the seedy folks Eden.

Issue #1 is a great set-up for what is sure to be an exciting ride of crime/mystery with surprises around every corner. Writers Bryan Edward Hill and Matt Hawkins have done an excellent job creating empathy with the characters from the beginning and Isaac Goodhart’s artwork draws readers in enhancing their experience of Eden and their residents. Postal # 1 is a great read, good artwork and has a heck of a storyline.
