Arcbound has an insanely talented creative team behind it and it shows in this debut issue. With outstanding visuals, unique and well developed characters and a story that sets itself apart from others in the genre, Arcbound will have no problem finding its spot in the vast word of comics. We cannot wait to see where this team takes this story in future issues. Read Full Review

Arcbound #1 is the first step into a new sci-fi universe, as Tom Hardy enlists an all-star creative team to bring his vision to life. Read Full Review

Somewhere between Dune and Halo lies Arcbound. Building off a surprisingly well-constructed set of characters from Tom Hardy, writers Scott Snyder and Frank Tieri have crafted a first issue which stabs right at the heart of the human condition. Arcbound #1 succeeds in striking balance between deep philosophical questions and high stakes (and sometimes brutal) action. Read Full Review

Arcbound #1 isn't a bad start but it also doesn't feel original enough to really stand out. It'll be interesting to see where it goes in the second issue as there's a few directions but overall, it's a debut that feels a bit too derivative. Read Full Review

Arcbound #1 seems like it's trying to be a big bombastic first step into a new universe, but it ends up being a pretty boring and predictable one instead. Read Full Review

Plot
This comic takes us to a distant future where the soldiers of the ZYNETEC corporation, Kai and Xander are fighting against a group of terrorists called Colonists from the Rinar Colony. On this planet there is an important mineral that is extracted by Zynetec, it is called Kronium.

Kai begins to have doubts about his work, since these Colonists call Kai and Xander false mediators, that is, this war is actually a direct attack by Zynetec with no desire to negotiate with the residents of this colony.

General Grush assigns Kai and Xander another colony to execute the same plan of extermination of any resistance, this place is called Terralux. Kai doubts even more about this military incursion, when he knows that Zynetec does not need more Kronium, although the excuse is that the Evers are about to return, that is why Zynetec needs more Kronium.

Kai says goodbye to his wife Kyra and heads to Terralux, however he receives an encrypted message from this planet where they say that they want to negotiate, they do not want to fight. Kai tells Xander about it and he mortally attacks him and the Zynetec Master robot tears him apart from the torso.

Kai wakes up with a half-robot body, he is saved by a mysterious scientist.

With a story full of betrayal, government plots and science fiction, they introduce a new universe and a character with whom we can identify as Kai.

Art
It is very organic and with a dynamism in the anatomies that resembles a fluid, so the action sequences feel dizzying. All the recreation of science fiction and retro/futuristic astronaut suits is great.

Summary
Kai is about to discover a terrible reality of which he has been a part without wanting to.
Betrayal, drama, action and science fiction more

Five similarly-worded 10/10 reviews from accounts that were all created today and have only reviewed this comic and nothing else...hmmmmmm. Nothing suspicious going on here.
