    They are off to a fantastic start for Mad Cave Studios' tenth anniversary. Dick Tracy #1 is the two-fisted pulp outing we all hoped it would be. With homages to what came before but breaking new ground in the process, Dick Tracy #1 takes aim as one of the best of 2024 so far. Read Full Review

    Pages and Panels - Seth A. Romo Apr 22, 2024

    Comic book fans, or fans of crime thrillers, have a fantastic new story to follow with this first issue. The writing is sharp and the art is a perfect moody balance for a noir story worth checking out. While Dick Tracy as a character may be nearly 100 years old, that doesn't mean he's done solving crimes and luckily for comic book readers, many aren't tired of reading about adventures from the classic detective.

    Nerd Initiative - Mickey Smith Apr 24, 2024

    I'm love what I see thus far. This is classic Dick Tracy with a pretty new paint job and some upgraded parts. The characters are fleshed out and explored, but not in an exhausting way. Everyone grows through action, not tons of exposition. There are little to know narrative boxes which is great. Dialogue and actions drive the story. It's very cinematic in that way. It's my opinion that the art of any Dick Tracy book is the cornerstone of its success. Geraldo Borges and Mark Englert are off to a great start. If they can keep this momentum, the sky is the limit for this series. Read Full Review

    Lotusland Comics - Hank Rea Apr 24, 2024

    Mad Cave Studios getting the rights to Dick Tracy was a big deal. Assembling this team of creatives only raised expectations even further. The property went to the right hands as the biggest honor to Gould's vision is the care and reverence the creators show with a faithful version that doesn't hold back. 'Dick Tracy' isn't just a trip into nostalgia but a legitimate hardnosed crime thriller ushering a new era for the iconic detective.  Read Full Review

    Pretty decent stuff here. I prefer this to the new Zorro series because unlike that series this one isn't a new take on the character, it's just who Dick Tracy has always been. Too many times we get a resurgence of a property and the assigned writer feels they have to reinvent the wheel. Sometimes it works but just as often it simply falls flat. I think this was the best approach for such an old character; the old lore is practically new to most modern fans so why change what worked before. The setup engages the reader and has that Sunday funnies feel with the noir aspect worked in. The art is great for this type of book and I think the series benefits from it greatly. All in all this is a fun read and I look forward to the next issu more

    Not particularly sure what all the hype is about to be frank. The art was pretty good and fitted the character well and the script rattled along nicely but the dialogue was way to contrived for my taste. I love nostalgia and I get it was set post war during a particularly violent gang time in American history but the tone of the dialogue makes it difficult to really enjoy it.
