Written by Rick Remember with art by Daniel Aćuna, Escape #1 is a gorgeously illustrated and depth fully written wartime drama book but the beating heart of rhe story feels very relevant to modern day occurrences.
Without getting into spoilers, this series takes place in what is obviously an allegorical presentation of WWII(tho its not explicitly stated to be WWII), and this first issue spends its time placing the main players into the situation from which they need to "escape". If you've seen a lot of war movies or read a lot of war comics it's nothing entirely new aside from the caveat that these are all animal characters but protrayed in a much more gritty mature environment, not unlike the Blacksad series(which in also a fan more
A true gem and probably a future classic.
I'm not a big fan of war comics/movies/etc., and this one hit a lot of the usual tropes and moral talking points, but it was so well done that I loved it. The writing and art was top notch, the characters were interesting and well-defined. Can't wait to read the rest.
A very though Genre to crack and they did it. The art wise it is just ab-so-lu-te-ly gorgeous, the story is brutal as it should be and everything works so well together.
Really Really good
This was a pretty cool book. Art was fantastic. Nothing extraordinary plot wise, but it was engaging.
I liked the overall idea and action of the issue, but I read the back of the issue where he wrote about the reason he used animals instead of humans. His reasoning is that someone told him that people connect more with animals than other fellow humans. I don't know who told him that, but at least for me, that cannot be further from the truth. I dislike that fact that he used animals in this story instad of humans. As good as the idea is, I won't be continuing it.
