MINISERIES PREMIERE
In a world where older women who've been deemed useless to society are abandoned on an island, GOLDEN RAGE documents their golden years of making friends, baking dessert, and fighting to the death.
Created by writer CHRISSY WILLIAMS (editor of DIE, THE WICKED + THE DIVINE), artist LAUREN KNIGHT (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), and colorist SOFIE DODGSON (BITTER ROOT, Tank Girl), this is the FIRST ISSUE of a brand-new five-issue miniseries where Battle Royale meets The Golden Girls.
Its a fun idea for a series that feels firmly rooted in a very believable sort of a world. the overall premise doesn't necessarily feel all that believable. People are going to keep track of people, right? There are definitely aspects of society that would revere the mothers and grandmothers. There definitely be those who would want them protected. Those would want them included in society. The world beyond the island isn't really given a chance to explain itself just yet. It'll be interesting to see how a comprehensive backsstory would explain the basic premise, but theres more than enough going on in the foreground to keep the bigger questions about the world of Golden Rage at bay for now.

Golden Rage #1 is a familiar but solid start. The concept might be something we've seen, but the detail of the debut feels like a real world and gives us much more than just the battle and survival. This is a group that has been around for some time and there's history here. Like Jay, we're welcomed into it and it should be a wild ride. Read Full Review

Golden Rage #1 will be a bit too slow for some, but the characters are fun and the premise is strong. Read Full Review
When all is said and done, Golden Rage #1 delivers a solid start to its story. While this issue feels a bit weighed down by its setup, there is potential here if the story can continue to build up its cast now that the story's introduction is behind it. Read Full Review
Golden Rage #1 is a dialog heavy book, but fails to utilize all the talking to establish anything beyond what is happening in that exact moment. It is refreshing though to see realistic character bodies and voices. Read Full Review
