The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of DEADLY CLASS #1 from Image Comics. Rick Remender writes, Wes Craig draws, and Lee
Loughridge colors.
Marcus is having a pretty tough time of it – he’s fourteen
and living on the streets. His parents are dead, he couldn’t make it in the
boys’ home. But then one day something happens, and by something I mean people
start trying to kill him. He gets rescued by a girl who then takes him to meet
Master Lin, and from there it just gets weird.
This issue goes a long way to set up Marcus as a complicated
character. There are hints of a lot of different problems that might come up
later in the story, and I like the way it’s done here. I’m also curious as to
why they chose to set it in 1987, and it will be fun finding out. The
demonstration of Saya’s skills alone make this book interesting, and I look
forward to watching Marcus’ training.
I love a book that gives me both story-driven elements and
great action sequences (they don’t always go together). This book has great
potential, so pick it up.
DEADLY CLASS #1 is available now at your FLCS and online at imagecomics.com.
