With a $4.99 cover price this book, which is in Image's extended length range of comics, it may seem quite pricey, but the art is awesome and the story takes full advantage of the additional space. Likewise, the Bengal cover is fantastic, and really this book will be up there with any other option on the shelves this week. An opening installment that bodes very well for the series.

'Death or Glory' is an action movie involving drug money, mobsters, dirty cops, and fast cars. It has everything including a determined female protagonist that will go to any lengths to save her "father." You don't really sit back and read this, you experience it. Bengal can do it all but the chase and fight scenes are relentless and exciting. Remender has another hit on his hands and worth every penny. Read Full Review
Glory is tough and determined, but she's also emotional, and as readers we're privy to this information right away, making us feel for her even more. All in all, the first issue of Death or Glory is griping and enticing, with several plot twists which are slightly predictable from a writer's POV, but still exciting and leaves you wondering what's next.

This book has a definite feel of building, as it should. There is a fair amount of action going on, so it's not a complete snore-fest. This book is a very solid piece that promises to have a great amount of action in it. With this being a fast-paced book, I would think finding a spot on your pull list would be a good thing. Stories like this build into a final humongous explosion, and you don't want to miss a single bit! Read Full Review
The first issue is all about its personality and underlying themes. This is a comic with a focus on what it wants to say and what it wants to project. And all of that together comes together for a hell of a lot of fun. Read Full Review
Image has another hit on their hands. Death Or Glory is like a Tarantino story told in a modern Speed Racer-type aesthetic. It's a series you can confidently invest your time in! Read Full Review
Death or Glory #1 is a fun start to what can be a high-speed series full of action and charming characters.

Now I can't speak for my self, but if you want a break from avenging super heroes or time-travelling doctors, this might be for you. I had a blast. Read Full Review
Real credit and kudos to the whole team as the collaborative work assembled " from particularly tasty components, it must be said " means that even with the extra pages, youll be left wanting more. So its a big 10-4! Read Full Review
Bengal does a spectacular job in opening up the first issue. Between pencils and colors, he makes quite a mark in the first issue. The barren feel of Yuma, the action scenes near the end of the issue, and the smaller scenes in-between give Bengal a chance to exercise a great deal of range. All things considered, this is a comic that has a very specific look that only really works here. The modern Western meets Death Race vibe is one that really works quite well here. If youre a fan of good crime comics that trap inherently decent people in bad decisions, with action, and myriad conflicts: youre in for a treat here Read Full Review
An interesting start with some enough meat on it to really feel like a meal. Read Full Review
In many ways, Death or Glory is a quintessential Image book, and a quintessential Rick Remender book; two things that are almost synonymous with each other at this point. And just as the world and characters are peak Remender, so is finding a tremendous and distinct artist to bring it all to life, which Bengal does as wonderfully as anyone. This is a solid start to what I'm sure will be a beautiful and exciting new journey. I call shotgun. Read Full Review
Death or Glory #1 is a start to what seems like a high-octane romp. The story, while not gripping or anything special right now, feels like a very fun B-movie and having Bengal on art brings Death or Glory to another level. It is not life-changing or anything, but Death of Glory was truly an exciting read that was a lot of fun. It definitely has me hooked for the second issue on style points alone, and we will see where it goes from there! Until then, grab a helmet and hit the road! Read Full Review
The book begins with a jolt and ends with a lot of promise, but tends to sag in the middle. Thankfully, where the script is lacking, Bengal's art carries the load. Read Full Review
This is a comic that yearns to be political, but possesses no clear comprehension of what its politics might be. The best reason to keep following her story is that it is simply fun to watch. Read Full Review
Now the art is slick and great for such fun action, but is wasted in the beginning for the long setup. Basically this book didn't need to be 40 pages. I wonder if was the writer's hubris to let the book meander for so long for a simple heist type setup. Read Full Review
With Remender's work, it's best to give it at least six issues. He's one of the few creators I will say that about, and it's because his style isn't meant for single issues. He always manages to have a hook or a cliffhanger that makes the single issues worthwhile, but the overall storytelling is only revealed after six issues. This first issue is saved by Bengal's artwork. I won't sugarcoat that because without the dynamic action panels and the detailed cars, over the top characters and beautiful coloring, the story would be generic" unless you're a Remender fan. Because I understand liking the way, a creator presents their stories and their flair that makes you come back for more, which is how Bengal's artwork got me to read this first issue and likely the next five. Read Full Review
Death or Glory #1 seems to want to be a lot of things - a story about a woman driven to surprising lengths for her family, a story about startlingly vast criminal enterprises hiding in unusual places, a story about extremely rad car chases, and according to Remender himself, a story about truckers and the ways in which job automation is potentially devastating to certain segments of our economy - but it’s so little of all of those things that there’s not one overarching theme to really hook readers in. It’s hard to know who’s supposed to want to read this book from this debut issue of Death or Glory, which makes it a tough single issue to recommend. Read Full Review
This like is like Opala 78 by Eduardo Ferigato.
I loved this comic.
Dare I say: best debut of 2018. Loved the art, definitely a new favorite cover.
This issue is pretty damn good. There is a lot going on right from the start. The story and lettering flows so well with the awesome artwork. It was such a joy to read. Check it out, pull it.
Pick this book up asap and give it a read. Remender and Bengal knocked it out of the park. Can't wait to read the next issue.
Really cool book! I think the story and the art are both terrific. Definitely sticking with it.
The gorgeous artwork by Bengal takes us for quite the thrill ride.
This comic is a ripper! Really like the tone and the set up for what is to follow. A thrill ride for sure!
Without spilling that Remender is my favorite author, this was a great introduction to the new series. Great story and art, with lots going on. Definitely worth picking up.
I was pleasantly surprised by this comic. I didn't know what to expect because I've never read anything by Rick Remender but I've always heard things about his work. So I was entertained for 40 plus pages from start to finish. The story is a mixture of western, crime, drama, action, mystery and it's all handled quite well for the most part. It has a compelling premise and setup right off the bat. I don't know if its me or not but this kind of had like a Coen bros vibe to it at times which is great. I found the main protagonist interesting I really like her backstory and overall motivations. The artwork by Bengal is soooo good and vibrant. I just love how much the colors pop on the pages and how solid the lettering is as well. I also enjoyedmore
Art and writing was top notch, but I just didn't care about the character. I'll probably pick up the trade just because I'm a huge remender fan.
Unnecessarily long and tonally confused.
No what I wanted to find in it. And for a time I even wonder if he know where he was going with it.
I wasn't more in it at the end. But that I a little disappointed about this.
Cover - I like the cover but not really related 1/2
Writing - It's was a little slow to start. 1.5/3
Arts - The art is really beautiful 3/3
Feeling - I didn't like it. 0/2
