For a first issue. This does the job perfectly and it is a comic that I will most likely follow in the months to come. Read Full Review

Through translated into English, Lehmans story is one of brutal honesty of how veterans are often treated, mixed with the mysteriousness of super people in France. Cretys artwork is very vivid, and shows the futuristic land that Paris has become. The world of Masked is one of wonder and intrigue, but with enough emotional steam to make us want to come back for the second issue. This is a great start to the opposite of a run of the mill superhero book, as Masked looks to open our eyes to a whole new world. Read Full Review

Masked: Anomalies #1 is an intriguing first issue, with a strong central concept supported by a ton of additional mysteries and threads that are yet to be revealed. The compelling characters and effective structure of the issue serve to entice readers back for more, and if the issue at times feels like it's a bit too dense, it never becomes so much that you're frustrated, rather the reader is eager to stick around for more to be revealed. A winning debut. Read Full Review

I enjoyed this, but feel there is a lot more to come down the line. Promising for sure, but not quite there just yet. Let's see what comes next. Read Full Review

This promises to be a very ambitious series with some neat ideas and a well-built universe. This issue has a ton of exposition but this is not going to be the type of story in which you can casually skip an issue without being completely lost. Understanding this world, its technology and its politics I believe is going to be key to appreciating the story. This is not a casual comic book reader's book. I believe this is a story that if you are willing to invest the brainpower to keep up it will be very rewarding. Read Full Review

All in all, an interesting comic not the greatest, but still solid. Itll be interesting to see a French take on the superhero genre, as well. Read Full Review

Ultimately then, while its clear that theres an intriguing idea at the heart of this series, its one which is struggling to make itself heard at the moment. Yes, this first issue has a few flashes of greatness along the way, but with some sketchy exposition and a fairly lacklustre leading character, its going to be a bit of a tough sell to expect readers to persevere until the second instalment.
