The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of UNCANNY #1 from Dynamite Entertainment. Andy Diggle writes and Aaron Campbell draws.
Weaver’s skills are of the type that can only get him into
trouble at some point. And they do. Fortunately, they can also get him out of
trouble if he uses them properly. Just as his escape is getting complicated, he
meets Maggie. Talk about “right place right time”; we’ll just have to see what
it costs him.
This is a book with some great thriller potential. It starts
off exciting and manages to keep up the pace, while giving us character info
the whole time. (Inner monologues are good for that J ) That there’s a
supernatural twist makes it that much more interesting in my book. And the art
is really nice; it’s got a helpful sense of realism to it. Weaver may not be a
typical good guy, but he’s likeable enough for us to stick with him.
This is a good book, borne of the Dynamite renaissance of
pulp thrillers. It’s a modern setting, but that’s not a downside here. Go pick
this one up.
UNCANNY #1 is available now at your LCS or online at dynamite.com.
