The opening installment of Red Atlantis is solidly put together on the technical side but I felt like it just needed a little something stronger to hook us with. A lot of what's here feels terribly familiar, having grown up with decades of Cold War style stories behind me, but I also like the potential of it. Phillips has put together some fun books recently so I'm game with their stuff and I like Robert Carey's art style and how the characters come across. There's a lot left unsaid here as expected but there isn't enough character material to really get me to connect with the characters that we do get. A lot is going to ride on Miriam it seems, which is fine, but it felt like we needed to see a bit more of her normal life that's about to be wiped away and a bit less of the agents and the cops in order to ease into it.

Red Atlantis #1 taps into the stress and fear many of us feel around this election cycle, and it does so in an engaging way that makes sharing said fear cathartic. Read Full Review

An opening chapter of murderous political intrigue that offers an intriguing start, but doesn't do much to separate itself from the rest of the genre. Read Full Review

The big conspiracy is still pretty hazy in this issue, and the story jumps in time and place a little too much for my tastes, but overall it's an interesting debut issue with strong art. Read Full Review

Both the narrative and the visuals are okay, but nothing groundbreaking, and it ultimately remains to be seen if Red Atlantis will be an effective political allegory or an ill-timed one. Read Full Review
