Things are just getting started for Rich Tommasos Spy Seal, but if these witty, well constructed first pages are any indication, it may rightfully deserve a place alongside some of the more iconic series to which it pays homage. It may appear wordy at first, but with a finely tuned balance of dialogue and richly detailed panels, its well worth spending some time with. There is plenty to grab your attention and hold it.

From the get go, readers will see that Rich Tommaso is emulating the style of Herg and his famous TinTin adventures. In short, it is a riveting adventure that will be a fun series for fans of Tommasos works, and fans of spy comics and TinTin too. There is one issue within these pages, that of the character of Angora. Her design and style of speak will lead people to assume she is like the stereotyped Asian characters from 1960s movies and television when she is in fact quite the opposite. Other than that, everything else about this comic is first-rate. An excellent beginning to what is sure to be a thrilling series. Read Full Review

Its worth a read to get a feeling of the tone and texture of the series, but it begins properly next month, and for that, I cannot wait. Read Full Review

Overall I actually preferred the backup Ninja Fukuroh story than I did the Spy Seal. I think that was mainly the dialogue. Read Full Review

This issue also features a back-up story by one Joey Weiser. I don't have much to say about it other than that it's pretty short but still rather cute. All in all, Spy Seal #1 is a decent start and pleasant enough read. It certainly feels more grounded than She Wolf did, and it looks to be moving in a more stable direction too. I wouldn't call it a must read, but if the high concept charm is enough to catch your eye, then I'd say it's at least worth taking a look. Plus, it did leave me curious enough to want to come back for the next one. Read Full Review

'Spy Seal' #1 is the start of what looks like a relatively straightforward, flawed, spy story. With the concept's potential left off the table and uninspired art, it's hard to recommend. Read Full Review

Perhaps this would have worked better as a webcomic. Read Full Review
