Wayward - Image Comics Central Fantasy Series
Image Comics semi-new ongoing comic book series, Wayward, written by Jim Zub has been
catching my attention lately, the story piqued my interest, and the cover art
is quite compelling, with a distinctive Manga look and feel.
Rori, our soon to be hero is very unique, half-Japanese and
half-Irish with a head full of red hair. In issue one Rori, who comes from a
broken family (divorce) is on her way to live in Japan with her mother, who
apparently is a very busy woman, always rushing off to work. Rori has a few
days before school starts and instead of resting after her long plane ride as
her mother suggests, Rori heads out to explore her new surroundings. While
exploring, Rori takes a turn down a strange street following a cat, which soon
turns into many, many cats and some bad guys who for some reason do not see the
cats, and then the really strange happens; the bad guys are really humanoid
turtles and their not friendly! In addition, Rori herself seems to have special
abilities that are slowly revealed over the course of the issue, but, in true
coming-of-age fashion, she does not know what the heck is going on.
Jim Zub brings
readers a truly unique story of this young woman coming of age struggling with
her family dynamics, a new city, a new school and no friends. I really enjoyed
the first issue and look forward to the next one. Join me in this unique read,
I guarantee you will be pleasantly surprised.
Wayward, issues # 1 through # 6, are available now at White Dragon
Comics, the best comic book store in the Poconos and on the Web.
