The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of KIM & KIM #1 from Black Mask Studios. Magdalene Visaggio writes, Eva Cabrera draws,
Claudia Aguirre colors, Zakk Saam letters, and Katy Rex edits.
Kim is the brains of the outfit, with a good business sense
and a calm demeanor. Kim, however, is the muscle, the heart, and the
on-the-outs-with-her-disgustingly-rich-daddy one. Together they’re a bounty
hunting team without a cool name, and they’re quickly running out of operating
capital. And when a friend offers to help them out, the Kims take the booze by
the horns and the real adventure begins.
The Kims are entertaining as hell on the surface, but you
get the feeling that they’re both interesting characters in their own right,
too. There’s a lot to learn about these two, and about the universe they
populate (interdimensional future). And on top of the tons of story swirling
around in this book, there’s the art, which is a cunning blend of gritty
reality and cartoony anime which works beautifully together.
Bounty hunters of questionable skill and unusual tactics
(Kim often wields an electric bass in hand-to-hand combat) are forced to choose
between a huge bounty and helping out a guy down on his luck. How can you not
go get this book right now?
