The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of CHIN MUSIC #1 from Image Comics. Steve Niles writes and Tony Harris draws.
The story begins in Cairo .
A local mystic is caught and punished for using his skills, but is found by a
young FBI agent named Ness . Flash forward to Chicago ; our agent is in
the famous struggle of his career against mob boss Al Capone. What difference
could mystical powers make in that historical battle?
Honestly, I think this is a fascinating idea. This is a
twist on urban fantasy that I haven’t seen before (not that my knowledge is
encyclopedic, of course). I’ve always believed that magic is a wonderful
eraser; you can pretty much do whatever you want with it, and it’s a fun way to
allow your characters to cheat (or at least bend the rules; hence the final panel
of this book). So the possibilities are really wide open here.
CHIN MUSIC #1 is available now at your FLCS or by order at imagecomics.com.
