As far as a first issue, Pandemica #1 excels. It can be a little dialogue heavy, but theres a BIG web to spin here. There are several moving parts between the conspiracy and character relationships, plus a really dramatic ending. Read Full Review
Pandemica is a gritty and all too believable take on what leads up to the end of civilization as we know it. Disturbing and brutal. Is this the shape of things to come? Read Full Review
The concept of the series is what stands out. Pandemica #1 is a standard gathering of the team. At times the storytelling is a bit choppy too. But, between the concept and the characters, there's more than enough to return and check out more. Read Full Review

"Pandemica" #1 has tons of potential to be great, but numerous shortcomings keep it from reaching that level Read Full Review
The dialogue and narration here would hold up fine on their own, without any art, and the opening issue isn't fast-paced or compelling enough to make it memorable for the month-long wait between issues " this one might have worked better as a novel. Read Full Review
Pandemica #1 fails to deliver on its captivating premise. While having a promising concept, the book chooses to focus through an uninteresting lens instead of giving more attention to the voices that matter. Read Full Review
Pandemica #1 is a mess from start to finish, a comic that reads like a movie pitch any producer would be smart enough to walk away from. Read Full Review
Let’s see where this goes.
A gripping and interesting read. Criticisms that it is too wordy don't really wash with me, given that one of my criticisms of many modern comics is that they have too few words. The art is a bit hit and miss, however, with the colouring being a part of the problem; I understand the choice of muted dirty tones, but it does make for a rather unappealing visual experience. Nonetheless, there is plenty to like about this first issue, and have me looking forward to the next.
