Review copy provided, Triage by comic book duo Phillip Sevy [@phillipsevy]
(Artist, Writer) and Henry David [@gofrankgo] (Letterer).

Background Info
The premise of this comic revolves around the philosophical question of "what is the purpose
of life" a fascinating way to start off a comic for sure. We get our first look at our main
character Evie Pierce the nurse helping a women give birth at her hospital.

After this we are treated to sequence of perspective shifts to characters I shall refer to as
Fallout girl, and super BL. They show us a glimps of these characters in their worlds. Fallout
girl lives in a post apocolyptic wasteland where they must make the most of their limited
resources.

Super LB on the other hand is introduced in one of the few stand out pages where Henry's
lettering really adds depth to the scene and makes it far more dynamic then it would have
been otherwise.

From what we are shown its safe she's the best hero in a hero society. We know very little
about these characters at this point but this is the first chapter. Then our 3 characters get
Isekai'd (no truck unfortunately) into a world of what I can only assume to be a 4th central
character that we will refer to OBL.

It is in this page that we are treated to a second amazing page, the surrealism of this page
contrasts amazingly well with the rest of the book and is on the comics cover. It is here that
OBL explains to the characters that they must stick together no matter what to survive.

Here we meet our main antagonist who crashes this party like Terry Cruse on a Jet sky at a
wedding. This is also were I will end the background section of this review.

The Review

In this first chapter, we really don't get to know these characters that well. In fact their
clothes are about all we know about them. What Phillip has done is created a very ambitious
setting for his narrative but he is stuck with a dangerous balance.

Too little and the characters become one dimensional, too much and it effects pacing. Speaking
of, we have 3 main characters from 3 different worlds with 3 different stories but we don't
know anything about them stand out.

They feel more like 3 side characters rather then 3 main characters, not to mention Hunter
steals the show with his flamboyant entrance. Every panel he is on has more impact and
personality then any of the panels with the other characters.

This comic has me confused, are we rutting for hunter kill the other 3 or the reverse?
The characterization makes it very hard to emphasize with these characters. What should we
emphasize with if at all?

This inability for the reader to have a stake in the characters means more often then not
as long as Hunter is flamboyant as he usually is then they will be rooting for him to win.
We also never really find out what makes this nurse so special when compared to the other 2

She's just there, she fades into the obscurity of the pages. Again this is a very ambitious
comic. But alas it buckles underneath the weight of its own ambitions. more
