Major Alistair Meath of Britain's Royal Air Force sacrificed his life to save Earth from an approaching asteroid on the night of "The Event". Seven months later, Meath has resurfaced as the colorful, kinetic energy-powered superhero KINO, but something is very wrong with the world. Britain's MI6 is on the hunt for Meath, and the terrible secret behind his return is revealed in this mindbending thriller within the Catalyst Prime Universe.
Kino #1 is a strong contender for best opening in the Catalyst Prime line, and one that's a unique and visually interesting story that can appeal to readers looking for something different. The series is going to live and die by how interesting the titular character is when he wakes up, but this book does a stellar job of setting up the world that he is going to wake up in.

A new entry in the Catalyst Prime world is great to see and this one is another unique one for the universe. A first issue that has me interested in seeing where it all goes and hoping we get more of that retro art. Read Full Review
KINO may not be my favorite hero in the Catalyst Prime universe, because let's be real" there are a lot of awesome characters. The story was not the greatest either, because I had some confusion about who was who and what was going on. However, this comic is probably one of my favorites because of the split between "bronze age style" and the modern style. I was never bored in the KINO heroics and loved the unashamed throwback to what got mant comic readers obsessed. I will see if the second issue lives up to the fun standard set by KINO #1 or if this was just a hook reserved for a single issue. Read Full Review
