Overall, an excellent first issue, which pulls the reader further in. The story by Michael Watson and Victor Dandridge is continuing to intrigue. The art by Ren McKenzie, Michael Watson, Matt Kelner, Marc Voletich, Ryan Carter, and Joe Bucco, punches every frame. Altogether, a good installment in this heros journey. Read Full Review
Legacy Rising Publications has created an elaborate superhero universe"one that, over time, could become a successful indie alternative to DC and Marvel"and Hotshot is an intriguing part of that universe.

I am excited to see how Hotshot fits within the larger Legacy Rising universe, so I will continue to read this comic. And I will encourage my friends to do the same. Read Full Review
