This is a completely gratifying ride with one of the best creators in the industry, tackling a topic that is red-hot right now. I cannot wait to see where this story is heading. Read Full Review

Renato Jones: The One% #1 is beautiful, engaging, and very, very pissed off. Comic books can be powerful weapons of satire and that is exactly what this debut is and why its just so damn good. Read Full Review

A slick, action-packed stunner of a crazy origin story, this comic truly has it all: explosive face-offs, black humor to spare, villains you love to hate, a plot full of twists and secrets, and at its center, a mysterious modern-day Robin Hood (of sorts) with a taste for true vengeance.

One really nice touch is the placement of advertisements throughout the issue. These ads are satirical looks at colognes and perfumes. The Renato Jones fragrance, ‘Luxury, you'll pay for it' aims straight for the financial jugular. While these ads and the comic itself seem like heightened attacks on the super rich, the booknever takes itself too seriously. It's more satire than realism. But it does ask questions about the price humanity has to pay to gain wealth and power. Is the price humanity itself? RENATO JONES: THE ONE %#1 is an entertaining comic book that gives no quarter and doesn't hold its punches. Despite itspremise, it is something that can appeal to the masses with its art, humor and action. Here's looking to issue 2. Read Full Review

The art here is great. It's similar to Wes Craig's work on Deadly Class, offering loads of twisted characters with exaggerated expressions. It's cartoony and also a touch disturbing, which fits the book wonderfully. At one point, the book radically changes its art style for a particular moment in the story; this is a bold move that works fantastically. I'm not going to spoil it, but there are also some fourth-wall-breaking gags strewn throughout that are cute and clever. Read Full Review

After one issue our character has an intriguing past and interesting motive for future issues. The art provides a pleasure for the eyes to behold with some great action and unique detail peppered throughout the stories pages.  I'll be interested in revisiting Mr. Jones … hopefully he's going to be a big star! (Author Note: Sorry, not sorry, if that song is now stuck in your head for the rest of the day). Read Full Review

I meant it when I said that this is the best release of the year, so far. It has depth, rich dialogue and takes the time to develop itscharacters beyond the scope of what typically constitutes a first issue. Andrews' world is both visually and emotionally dark, scattered with moments of genuine hope and human connection that persistineven in the most brutaltimes. The layout is fantastic, the tableau memory sequences are terrifying/breathtaking, and the story is impossibly enthralling. As excited as I am to uncover more about Renato and his past, I'm most looking forward to finding out just how ‘super-fucked' the ‘super-rich' really are! Read Full Review

Aside from a few nitpicks in characterization, this is a bold, explosive comic book that holds a mirror up to the current times. Read Full Review

Whatever its storytelling flaws, this issue is a true showcase for what one creator can accomplish when they script, draw, ink and color their own book. Read Full Review

While this review may have gotten a bit nit-picky, I did enjoy the comic and loved some of the spreads and page setups. The One% attempts to deviate from the typical vigilante tale, but still relies heavily on traditional and overused tropes. The artwork is refreshing and I hope Andrews utilizes more of his darker panels because those are what make the series original. The jury's still out on the series' potential, but Andrews needs to continue to distance the plot from clichs. Read Full Review

With the current popularity of The Punisher, mainly from the Daredevil show, it seems that violence, or at least "an eye for an eye" violence is back on trend. Reading this book, I am saddened that there is a market for books like this. I realize that this book may be satire or even thought of as subversive, but to me, it is just noise. Read Full Review

This comic purports to be against exploitation but is simultaneously exploitative. Oh, the irony!

Felt too forced.
