The Normals from Aftershock Comics... Are not so Normal After All?!



The Normals written by Adam Glass and published by AftershockComics is quite a unique comic. The title states The Normals, but this family is far from Normal!

The Normals are a typical All-American family! They work, have children, go to church and school, shop just like everyone else, right? Not in this comic book! The Normals are Automations (aka robots), but they have no clue! This family of robots believe they are just like everyone else until one fateful day when Jack’s son falls from a treehouse, exposing a strange wire extruding from his ear! This where the story takes off, and the Normals will never be normal again!

Adam Glass does a great job telling the story of an average family, their downfall and their impending rise! The artwork from Dennis Calero gives us a surreal look at life on the run! The expressions on the characters face totally show the emotional turmoil they are going through!

The Normals has a reminiscent feel of the television show The Humanoids and comic book Vision with an unexpected twist! Being a huge fan of Aftershock Comics, I read this knowing I was going to like the comic, but after reading The Normals this book shot up my list of must have comics! I highly suggest checking this one out, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised!
