If you want your crime comic books cleanly drawn, with tonally rich colors, and starring a female protagonist that can absolutely, positively get s@#$ done, then head to your local comic shop this week and ask for her by name - Normandy Gold. Read Full Review
Normandy Gold #1 may not be for everyone because of some of the subjects tackled or maybe they're just not into period pieces. I do feel anyone who remembers the 70's fondly will have a bit of nostalgia reading this. Even more importantly, the good writing can appeal to those from a younger generation. If you like murder and mystery this could be the series for you, especially if you enjoy a woman taking charge in a "man's world". Normandy doesn't seem to be a character who backs down and I'm eager to see what happens next. The issue does not end on a frustrating cliffhanger, instead giving a great lead-in for the next issue.

An excellent first chapter to the Normandy Gold story. Really looking forward to issue #2. Read Full Review
It's a great start to the series and highly recommended for the grownups out there! Read Full Review
Normandy Gold showed me just how much I was missing a good ol' cops and robbers story from the Starsky and Hutch era. It's fun to read, the art leaps off the page, and the whole book simmers with sex and violence. I didn't know I needed these things as badly as I do now. I can't wait until issue #2 is available, and I suspect you'll be just as excited for it as I am. This one is a must read, in my opinion, as much for its story telling as for its story.

This is by no means a perfect book. But if you're a crime fiction fan or a lover of gritty noir/revenge/exploitation movies I think you'll find at least a few things to enjoy here. I'm excited to follow Normandy's story and have to say that this one feels like it's going to be the better of the Hard Case Crime/Titan books. And that's saying a lot because I enjoy the others as well. Read Full Review
If you are looking for a gritty, hard-edged story you can't go wrong with Normandy Gold. It is definitely not one for the kids, though. Read Full Review
There's a lot to like about Normandy Gold #1. It certainly doesn't pull any punches, fitting in perfectly with Hard Case's grittier and pulpier house vibe and delivering an adult crime thriller. Normandy is a compelling central character, even if she does belong squarely in the "troubled but tough detective" trope. Despite some structural problems which you can lay at the feet of kicking the story off quickly, Normandy Gold #1 is a satisfying pulpy debut and fans of seedier crime thrillers will find plenty to get them to stick around for next issue.
