Point of Impact #1<\/p>\n

Writer \u2013 Jay Faerber<\/p>\n

Artist \u2013 Koray Kuranel<\/p>\n

\"Point<\/a><\/p>\n

Sometimes you need to take a break from capes to enjoy one of the oldest genres of comics:\u00a0 crime stories.\u00a0 Point of Impact is done with the throw back black and white style with a multiple perspective narrative.\u00a0 The story revolves around the strange death of woman named Nicole.\u00a0 With the police trying to solve the crime, her husband, Mitchell, getting attacked for some unrevealed reason, meanwhile Nicole\u2019s lover is unaware of the situation, and a robber talking to someone about his crimes.\u00a0 This issue brings out several plot threads and acts as a really intriguing opening to a crime story.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the stand out features of \u201cPoint of Impact\u201d is the writing.\u00a0 This is primarily due to the use of differing perspectives that allows the reader to have a deeper understanding of the story.\u00a0 While I do like how things jump around with different characters, it does not give the reader enough of a story.\u00a0 What there is does gives you enough of a taste to want more, but the book feels short for an issue one.\u00a0 There is potential for an interesting crime drama, but I am not so sure everyone will be sold on this issue.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The artwork is gritty and not in a good way.\u00a0 At many places the art looks messy and it looks like many parts were inked too heavily.\u00a0 There are a couple moments that are well detailed, but it does not make up for the majority of the book being messy.\u00a0 The well detailed parts have good use of shading and it does help build a noir feel.\u00a0 The mix of good and bad art is very odd and it will not be pleasing for most readers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The crime drama is a classic style of comic story and \u201cPoint of Impact\u201d does capture some of that classic feel.\u00a0 The writing is easily above the average, it is just a shame there is not more in this book.\u00a0 The art is easily below average and can be distracting on occasion.\u00a0 If you enjoy crime stories there is enough of a tease to make you want to continue with the remaining issues.\u00a0 Just be warned that if you do not like the messy style then you will likely not enjoy this book.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Final Verdict:<\/p>\n
