Nathan Bright had it all: an awesome girlfriend, a kickass dog, and a job as the number one weatherman on terraformed Mars. But when he's accused of carrying out the worst terrorist attack in human history-an event that wiped out nearly the entire population of Earth-Nathan becomes the most wanted man alive and a target of a manhunt that spans the galaxy. But is Nathan truly responsible for such a horrific crime? And why can't he remember?
Writer JODY LEHEUP (SHIRTLESS BEAR-FIGHTER!), artist NATHAN FOX (DMZ, HAUNT, Dark Reign: Zodiac), and colorist DAVE STEWART (Hellboy, RUMBLE) present a full-throttle, widescreen science fiction epic ab more
Leheup and Fox have created a first issue that left me speechless. Once you read it, I think you will be, too. I am so impressed with this issue, and with so many huge questions left up in the air, it speaks to the creative team to create something so enticing, so intriguing, that it shows a mastery of the comic book artform. I am completely on board for this series, it looks, reads and feels like a sci-fi epic, lets see what the second issue follows up with. Read Full Review
The Weatherman is a great read with the potential to be one of the best series of 2018 Read Full Review
The Weatherman #1 grabbed my attention from the very first page and now holds it completely. I'm looking forward to the future issues immensely. Read Full Review
I probably don't need to say this, but I really, REALLY liked this first issue of The Weatherman. I imagined I would when I saw who wrote it, but it exceeded my expectations. It's exciting, hilarious, heart-breaking, and action packed. I know for a fact that it's not for everybody (and really, what is?) but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to anyone who enjoys running the gamut of emotions while reading your comics. You'll be laughing one minute and gasping the next, but you'll be enjoying yourself the entire time. Read Full Review
Image have always been a big part of my comic collection. I think theyve put out some incredible series over the years and I feel like The Weather Man really has the potential to be another. The familiarity I felt with the nods to 2000AD and LeHeups excellent narrative really drew me into the world Nathan inhabits and made me feel like I was in safe hands on the journey. This is one I will definitely be following closely in the months to come. Read Full Review
Is Nathan Bright really responsible for the worst terrorist attack ever? Read Full Review
The first thing that pulls you in is the art. It's Americana comic book art at its roots but it does run right up and flirt with a very cool manga style. Read Full Review
Future societies, dystopian planets are these days, almost as over done as zombies and vampires. That said, Jody LeHeung has a knack for taking ideas and insinuations from other sources and creating something bigger than the whole. Read Full Review
'The Weatherman' #1 is an incredible debut that is fully immersive, exciting and captivating. LeHeup, Fox, and Stewart are all at their best with this delightful sci-fi mystery. This is a can't-miss read. Read Full Review
I highly recommend this book, especially if you loved Shirtless Bear-Fighter. Leheup shows he has the chops for something that isn't nearly as goofy and absurd but still can throw in those comedic moments. Read Full Review
A great first issue that mixes humor, drama and great visuals with a compelling story and a mystery that caught my attention. Read Full Review
And the art of course is wonderful. Fox is a veteran and his art is perfect for this. I just wish I had the rest of it right away (five issues are already reportedly done). If the rest of the series is this good, however, I won't mind waiting. Read Full Review
The Weatherman #1 was a delight to read and caught me off guard by how good it was. Coming into this series completely blind was fantastic and the story caught me by surprise toward the end of the issue. It also has me very excited as the series continues. The story is imaginative an fun, with interesting characters and a world that is wide open for exploration. With Nathan Fox and Dave Stewart on art, The Weatherman #1 is stunning to look at. It had me hooked from the first page on. If you are looking for a good new comic to pick up, look no further than The Weatherman #1. It even has its own soundtrack! Read Full Review
I read the synopsis of the first issue prior to reading the comic, and I was still shocked by the narrative twists. Assuming that future issues are similar, The Weatherman is going to be one hell of a ride. Read Full Review
Familiar? Yes. But, it's really entertaining and a comic I really want to see where it all goes. This was one that sucked me in quickly and by the end I had a smile at the energy about it all. A solid debut that's a definite buy. Read Full Review
The careful balance of tone, style and character is essential to the telling of any good story. But in the case of The Weatherman, the tone is going to be the real make-or-break factor to this series. Can they maintain the tension between bleak and adventurous? Can they nail the emotion through a heightened, absurdist aesthetic? If the work in this first issue is any indication, the answer is most likely yes. Read Full Review
There is quite a bit to enjoy in this first issue. Yes, I had a bit of a push to get over the fact that technology hadn't moved on that much in over 700 years. Leaving that aside though, and adding a little extra suspended disbelief this is a great first issue, the art is great and it is highly enjoyable. The ending draws you in and will have you wanting to pick up the next issue. Read Full Review
The Weatherman is off to a great start with an engaging and funny first issue. This is a series well worth picking up. Read Full Review
The Weatherman is a fine debut that sets up its main focus with ease and gives us plenty of reasons to come back. Read Full Review
Weatherman #1 is mostly a great comic. That one scene aside, I quite enjoyed the book and its characters. The premise is strange in a lot of ways, but I like it. Despite its flaws, this one earns a recommendation. Check it out tomorrow. Read Full Review
Final Verdict: 7.0 " An ingenious premise marred by formulaic execution, "The Weatherman" #1 nevertheless features dazzling art. Read Full Review
There are plenty of reasons to read about an anti-hero, but The Weatherman #1 cannot find a single one. Read Full Review
Fantastic debut! Plot hooked me and the art is awesome. Looking forward to seeing where this series goes.
One of the best #1s iv read in a long time.
A wonderful start! We had a chance to read the first few issues and they're great. Be sure to pick up a copy... you won't be disappointed.
A fantastic start to what should be an interesting Science Fiction tale. Great world building going on, without being overly loaded down with it. Nathan is a fun character. Fantastic art. Can't wait to unravel this series's mysteries.
Not the dog! Damn! That hurt. Still I’m interested to see what’s going to happen now.
Think to the variant I change my mind & try it. It was a weird story to read and I really like it ... Until the end.
Then I was "Whhhaaaaat" ... And so sad for the dog. And "Whhhaaat". And oh they push the button to far ... I'm out !
But maybe I will going back to see what next in fact ! So well done.
Cover - I really like the variant with the umbrella even if not related. 1/2
Writing - All is said in time, in the right way, very nice. But why did you have to kill the dog ... I'm so upset by that. 3/3
Arts - Very nice & funny, cartoony but not to much. It's lighten the story. Well Done 3/3
Feeling - I will have to come back, because it was surprisingly awesome. But I'm too mad for the dog so 1/2.
I'm kind of torn on "The Weatherman." I wasn't really liking it, and I was kind of feeling that it was boring, and kind of decided to just flip through the rest of it. But when I saw what happened, I was like "Oh shit, I better read this!" The premise is sort of interesting, but the mystery of what happened didn't really even play that big a part here. Halfway through the book I decided I was going to drop it, but now I'm on the fence. I'll read issue #2 to see where this goes.
Interesting, but I'll wait for the trade.
