The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of FREELANCE
BLUES #1 from Alterna Comics. Ian Daffern and Mike Leone write, and Vicki
Tierney draws.
Lance is a guy who has a hard time holding down a job. This
has more to do with the monsters than anything else – everywhere he goes,
monsters eventually show up. He’s gotten pretty good at fighting them, but the
high turnover rate makes it hard to take care of his little sisters. And now
that he’s found a good job (with a cute coworker), a different kind of monster appears
in his life.
Lance is a good guy, and he dotes on the twins. But he’s one
of those who just can’t catch a break. He also doesn’t seem to have any super
powers, other than attracting the monsters. So his success at fighting the
monsters makes this story doubly compelling (I’m not spoiling the other
problem). I really like the art, too, with its attention to detail and use of
controlled chaos in the fight scenes.
This is a story about a guy who really needs a win in his
life. Follow along with him, and let’s see if he gets it this time.
FREELANCE BLUES #1 is available now at your FLCS or at alternacomics.com.
