The fan-favorite pulp heroine returns in an all-new miniseries written and drawn by Eisner and Manning Award-nominated creator Steve Bryant. When her father gains possession of a legendary necklace, Athena Voltaire must save him from both strange assassins and the Nazis, who want the power the artifact could unlock! Variant cover by comics legend Michael (MADMAN) Allred!
Athena Voltaire and the Volcano Goddess #1 presents our heroine the way she should be, strong and taking action. She is assertive in situations and definitely isn't a damsel in distress. Bryant presents all this brilliantly, making new readers feel comfortable meeting her the first time while also letting long time readers feel the familiarity of the pulp heroine. The overall story is intrigue with some loose ends that are hinted at getting tied up as the story goes along. It's a strong first issue that jumps out the gate right away, gives readers a breathe to know more of Athena then goes right back up and Bryant pulls this off extremely well. His art alongside the colors of Nelson and Browne suit Bryant's style and tone of book. They bring out of the best of each others work here and I can't wait for more. A near- perfect first issue.

Athena Voltaire and the Volcano Goddess is a great jumping on point for the character. You get a quick breakdown of her life and what she's capable of without sitting through blocks of text explaining a backstory. You don't need it here. Just open the comic and enjoy. If you like games like Uncharted or Tomb Raider, you'll dig this book. Read Full Review
