Geeks - Damned, Cursed Children #1

 

By Steven Leitman

There are times when you think that a genre is dead, done to death and there can be nothing new to be seen. When you realise that isn’t the case it’s exhilarating to witness because more than likely it’s one of your favourite genres, in this case it’s mine. So when I started this and realised that this was a black & white book and I saw how the art looks I was intrigued and then as the story unfolds I was like “oh hell no” and with my eyes wide and in something of a shock I kept reading and I was in comic book heaven!

I am a fan of the way that this is being told. The story & plot development that we see through how the sequence of events unfold as well as how the reader learns information is beautifully rendered. How this starts off is incredibly well done and wastes no time in engaging the reader and making them wonder the hell is going on. It is so effective that you have to keep going because there’s no chance in hell you want to miss how this complete and utter clusterfuck got started. The character development is interesting and that we are seeing a select group of folks who are handling this better than the others and will presumably star as the adults we need to watch for is extremely nice to see. How they act and react to the situations and circumstances really helps us to define these folks. The pacing is superb and as it takes us through the pages revealing the story, the twists and turns along the way it sucks us in and leaves us wanting so much more by the last page.
