The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of FREELANCERS #1 from Boom! Studios. Ian Brill writes, and Joshua Covey draws.
Val and Cassie were raised in an orphanage. Not a normal
orphanage, though; one that focused on martial arts. It was an upbringing that
made them close friends, and also prepared them for a career as hired problem
solvers—“freelancers.” As our story begins, they’re just getting started, but
something weird is going on—something connected to their former teacher.
Tongue is firmly planted in cheek in this book. We get witty
banter between the girls, and the nemesis from the orphanage turning up, and the
cute guy from the agent’s office; in other words, plenty of humor options to go
around. And they kick butt, of course. Don’t overlook the facial expressions,
either; the art here is really nice. All this and a bonus story too!
Boom! has got some really cool stuff going on right now, and
I think this book is just another step in the right direction for them. This
title could turn out to be a big one.
FREELANCERS #1 is available now at your FLCS (for a buck!) or
by order from boom-studios.com.
