The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of BUTTERFLY #1 from Archaia, a division of BOOM! Studios. Story is by Arash Amel, Marguerite
Bennett writes, Antonio Fuso draws, and Adam Guzowski colors.
She used to be Rebecca, but now when they call her, they
call her Butterfly. She used to be CIA, but now she’s a Project asset. A job
gone wrong has driven her into hiding, and the clues she gets from the Project
lead her to a French vineyard and someone she thought was long since dead. What
we learn of his journey is a bit more mysterious, but his motivations were
pure.
Rebecca has been burned, and she’s going to learn a lot more
than just who burned her in this story. We get a combination of spy story and
drama here, and the drama makes a nice touch – we at least know this book will
be more than just a Bourne clone. And Rebecca is likeable enough to root for. The
art helps to add to the emotional sense of the story, too, giving us a contrast
between the stress of the spy work and the feelings that come along later.
This book expresses a lot of emotion without the use of a
bunch of dialogue, and that intrigues me. It shows a lot of promise. Get in
early on this one.
BUTTERFLY #1 is available now at your FLCS or at boom-studios.com.
