    You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff Aug 14, 2024

    The whole, the first issue is rather deft and gaining the interest of even someone who might not normally have been interested in the property. Casey is managing a really tightly woven mystery that immediately launches the series into really fascinating new directions. Things have changed a lot over the years. Explorers of the unknown aren't quite as popular in popular culture as they had been in the past. Casey knows what hes doing, though. The pulpy, intrepid adventures that have been going on in popular fiction for well over a century. Continue to be really appealing if they handled right. Read Full Review

    This is a really good start. I am also enjoying Joe's Space Ghost. I am so glad they didn't try to PC it by changing Haji. Though that was probably part of the licensing. I hope the mystery turns into something more substantive.
