Imagine you are a mild mannered guy who is doing ok in life. Now imagine you about to get to work and you find a guy that looks like yourself bleeding in your kitchen. What da fuck much? Well, this just happened to Luke and there are about to get him into a huge mess.
You can pretty much guess what's going on by reading the title of the comic book and it's not like there a lot of surprises along the way -at least in this first volume-, but Clone succeeds at creating a riveting story that doesn't leave time for you to get bored.
When I first started reading the single issues back in 2013, I couldn't get past Juan José Ryp's art. Though he is still not my cup of tea (and that's has more to do with drawing styles and personal preferences), I have to admit he excels at illustrating the differences between the different clones. Even though they have the same face, they move and act differently.
Apart from Luke's story, there's also a political plot that connects with the clones somehow (won't tell you, read it). Usually I don't like this because retreating from the main action causes the plot to lose momentum and people in charge being secretive and shady are so cliché. However, in this case it adds information to the backstory and the change between "scenes" serve to create semi-cliffhangers to keep you intrigued.
Bottom line: I really enjoyed this book and I'll be definitely checking out the next one.

In this comic, a dude's wife and newborn get kidnapped, and then he discovers he has like a million clones. And the government is trying to kill all of the clones, using other clones. I'm not a fan of the art in this series, nor do I like the tropey "wife and baby die or get kidnapped" scenario. But the political intrigue is kind of interesting, and then there's the perennially interesting idea of whether or not clones can differentiate themselves from each other.

Not impressed!! I thought the art work was terrible and the story line... just plain boring.

This book was ok. The storyline wasn't really original and the characters haven't had time to grow yet. I would read more, though. Mainly, I liked the art in it. It was nicely drawn and colored.
