WOW! This was such a good first issue! With fantastic art by Jen Bartel (love love) and a fab story about paragons, mysterious beings, and more. I am so curious on how this story will continue. I NEED TO KNOW! EEE!

#StripoviTokomIzolacije
Image Comics (https://imagecomics.com/comics/read-first-issues) sada nude besplatno čitanje prvih izdanja nekih od njihovih stripova. Kako nemam pametnija posla trenutno, izabrala sam 20 stripova po vrlo jasnom kriterijumu zvanom "dopala mi se naslovna".
Prvi koji mi je zapao za oko bio je Blackbird. Nažalost, iako je prelepo ilustrovan u nekom neo-noar fazonu, radnja nema apsolutno nikakvog smisla. Sve se toliko brzo odvija da ne stignete ništa ni da shvatite i sve nekako deluje natrpano.
Nina Rodrigez je predvidela zemljotres. Tad se pojavilo neko ogromno stvorenje. Nestala joj je mačka u zemljotresu. Niste još ni svarili priču o svemu tome kada saznajete da joj je otac varao majku. Majka je zatim poginula u saobraćajki.
Deset godina kasnije, Nina radi u nekom baru, živi kod sestre i veruje u magiju. Jedne večeri nakon posla nalazi nekakvu ogrlicu, neki magični portal se otvara, pojavljuju se nekakvi čarobnjaci, sestru joj kidnapuje ono ogromno stvorenje s početka priče, i na kraju se pojavljuje njena davno izgubljena mačka koja sada izgleda kao da je izašla iz Sailor Moon-a.
Ako ste išta pohvatali, svaka čast. Ovo bih više nazvala YA stripom. Tu je i gomila "OMG!" oblačića i sam način na koji je napisano ne dozvoljava vam da ozbiljno shvatite ovu priču.

The art style is not my type, the colors are too bright and I didn't really get into the story.

The artwork, the style its something that I've always wanted to see. Its clean and precise which is why I was drawn to it so very much. As for the story, its beautiful and powerful.

This is so hard to rate. The artwork? Stunning! Like maybe the most beautiful I’ve read. The plot? So cool, like out of this world awesome, I want more. The DIALOGUE seems like it was written by a child...one with no ambition to write. It was so juvenile and choppy ): I admit because of the things I loved about it, I’m picking the next volume up and praying for improvement. But damn, what a bummer.

Meh. This was so hyped as one of the best graphic novels of 2019, and I don't get it. The plot is stale and borrows far too much from other works, and the pacing is very off. Gorgeous artwork though.

I picked this series up at comic con this year after hearing Jen Bartel talk about it in a panel. The first issue is obviously a set up for what’s to come. I’m excited to see how the magic system plays out. Nina was annoying though not going to lie but she has serious potential to grow as a character. The art is gorgeous.

It was aight. The art is incredible but the story is... lacking? I suppose I just didn’t connect to the story and felt that there is a lot of trying to hold back “big” plot points in a very blatant and obvious way and it starts to become frustrating. It’s not until the end that your are clued into some aspects of the story, but there’s a seemingly complex and vast magic system happening yet we know next to nothing about it by the end. I do think it’s a weak start but this series could turn into something really interesting with more focus or building a world and magic system.

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
