Everything about this story makes sense. The setting is unique, the perspective is unconventional and the characterizations are mostly completely complementary to the story. The issue reads fast because it is so engaging, and the writers are capable of making characters that are easily to empathize with from the get go. While the series might be heading in some dark directions which are hard to see from here, there is very little wrong with this first issue, and is one of the strongest lead-ins to a new story that the medium has seen in a while.

A very strong protagonist drives a premise that holds a lot of potential in what is turning out to be an addictive mystery. Read Full Review

First published back in 2015, I missed the Postal boat and only through a Kickstarter was I reminded that I needed to catch up on this. I'm glad I did. Hawkins has become one of my favorite writers and has yet to disappoint me. Read Full Review

While this book isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea, it was a solid “win” for me in my search each month for comics that feel and read different from every other comic I'm reading. This didn't feel similar to any of the other 140 or so current series I'm reading and as such will be really easy for me to keep straight in my mind without blurring into any others (a concern I have that is probably fairly unique to me). But for any other reader, I'd recommend it as a solid read with a lot of well-written and very unique characters.And if you don't speak French, I'd recommend using Google translate on The Chef's dialogue. A little thing, but I thought it was a hoot. I'll be back to follow along with the investigation as well as getting to know more about the inhabitants of Eden. Postal #1 delivered exactly the what I was looking for in a #1; just the right amount of setup, an array of characters I want to get to know better, and a killer hook on the final page.

The only problem I have with this issue was the art, it just didnt particularly compel me. It felt fairly bog standard for a story that is very mysterious and could have served the story better having a more freeflow rather than the rigidness that is currently on offer. Read Full Review

Postal #1 does a lot within its 30 pages. While the premise of a town of criminals isn't quite fleshed out just yet, the characters within are very well established, especially Mark (a nod to Haddon perhaps). The issue feels like Twin Peaks, Copland, and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time thrown in a blender, but accompanied by Goodhart's excellent visual storytelling, it becomes its own beast. The title is so ominous, 'postal' referring to when a post office worker who becomes crazy and kills everyone, and after getting to know Mark the postman, it's unimaginable how he could hurt anyone, let alone kill them. Is this series going to slowly turn the caring man into a psychopath? I, for one, am keen to keep reading and find out. Read Full Review

I definitely recommend picking this one up because it's the start of something bigger, if not just to peak your own curiosity. Read Full Review

The writing on this is phenomenal, the art compliments it very well and the tone is consistent. They took something that is associated with mindless violence and extreme controversy and turned it into something smart and interesting. The whole thing has a very Twin Peaks feel with mystery layered upon mystery and stocked full of colorful characters. I'm really looking forward to the next one. I'd recommend going out of your way to check this out. Read Full Review

All in all, this is an intriguing first issue that bears further watching. Read Full Review

Postal might seem on its surface like a simple "whodunnit" tale, but that is almost assuredly not the case. The very nature of the setting and the murky pasts of the characters who make up the cast of Postal make it a certainty that the title has a lot more to reveal in future issues. Read Full Review

Postal #1 has all the makings of a dynamic thrill-ride. And despite the outing following an upfront path there's plenty of room for further intrigue down the road. With compelling dialogue and a capable protagonist this book earns a recommendation. Read Full Review

Pick this title up as it promises a lot of mystery, action, and strong characters. Read Full Review

Im sure the various layers of Postal will peel back and this story will unveil itself. As it stands, the only summary I can offer of Postal is its a story of a man who delivers the mail and accidentally solves crimes. Hopefully issue two will move along a little quicker. Read Full Review

A good concept that has great potential but not enough out of the gate to warrant running out for the next issue. Read Full Review

The concept for this series has legs and, though the title belies a different type of action, I'm curious to learn more about Mark Shiffron, who looks to become an investigator as much as a postal worker. There are a lot of threads that could be tugged here and kudos to the team for building a postal code interesting enough to warrant a revisit. Read Full Review

Overall, I got a very Tom Sawyer with Aspergers vibe from this book. It felt similar to Image's Copperhead in some ways but without all of the sci-fi dressing. I hope it finds an audience and can deliver on its potential. Read Full Review

This issue felt like too much exposition on characters and settings I didn't care about. While I understand that first issues are all about introductions, this issue did nothing to make me interested in the story it wanted to tell. Perhaps later on this comic will pick up, but just going off this issue, I can't say I care to follow the series. Read Full Review

I had high hopes for this. As a mystery, though, it doesnt draw me in; as an offering from Image, it leaves me disappointed. A swing and a miss. Read Full Review

Very well written and I love the artwork . I'm hooked already, Can't wait for next issue!!!

The guy with Asperger's rocks. Can the story just be about him and not the high concept "small town for villains" premise?

I like a bit more amazingness in my comics.

Sorry people but no, they fucked up with the autism thing. In the files in the back of the
issue it says that his IQ is under 70. So he is does not have Asperger Autism. Asperger
people are insanely intelligent or their intelligence is comparable to the norm. There are other
forms of autism where the people have a low IQ but not with Asperger. DO YOUR RESEARCH.
Other than that nothing special about that issue.
