Even as a weekly, Jack Avarice is a hard sell. It's got that weird bit of humor and action that made Danger Girl a hit, so this could end up being a sleeper hit. The art starts off strong, but then turns messy midway through the book, which was a bit of a turn-off. Overall, this book is something different and worth checking out if you are already bored with the superhero relaunches, renumbering, and reboots. I enjoyed the story, and give Jack Avarice is The Courier #1 is worthy of 3.5 out of 5 Stars. Read Full Review
The art is decent and it reminds me of combination of other artists. For the life of me I can't think of them at the moment, but it has a animation style of presentation to it with the framed outlines of the characters still showing and the general look of the art. I can't describe it in technically terms or with any certainty, but I can bet you that Madden is an animator and that's why he's able to pump out a weekly book all on his own. The style is a give away too and the closest thing I can compare it to is Hero Bear and the Kid which was also done by an animator. In general the book is so-so, but I will give next weeks issue a shot. I'm interested in the art and the overall outcome of the story more than I am of the characters or the situation that's made the story come about. I'm basically cherry picking my interests in the book which works since the creator cherry picked his pop-culture references as well. Read Full Review
