The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of DEATH
SENTENCE #1 from Titan Comics. The story is by Monty Nero with art by Mike
Dowling, and letters by Comicraft’s Jimmy Betancourt.
This is the story of three people: Weasel, Monty, and Verity,
all three have contracted the G+ virus. The plus (no pun intended) is they are
given superhuman abilities, the minus is they only have six months to live
after the abilities manifest. You would think things couldn’t get worse, but
their condition gets them noticed by an agency of the government.
What an interesting and original concept. Each of the
characters deal with their situation in their own unique and real way (anger, melancholy,
“what the hell, I’ll make the best of it”).
The issue mainly focuses mainly on Weasel and Monty, but Verity’s story (which
is the saddest of the three) may be focus of the next issue as she ends this
chapter in a frightening cliffhanger. Anyone who is looking for a really good
book should give this one a chance. It’s worth it.
DEATH SENTENCE #1 is in stores now, or you can go to
