The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of KILLER INSTINCT #1 from Dynamite Entertainment. Ian Edginton writes, Cam Adams draws, Jorge
Sutil colors, and Troy Peteri of A Larger World Studios letters.
A couple of years ago there was a great war between good and
evil, and it was fought by super-powered entities. Evil was defeated, but the
final battle, the Event, did untold damage to the world. Earth is dying, and no
one knows how to stop it. But supers are blamed universally, as you might
expect. But there is one entity with a plan to discover the source of the
draining of the world.
What would it take to break the world? What would we do if
it happened? This is a very interesting twist on the superhero genre. This
issue gives us some of the backstory, and we also get to meet a couple of the
players – not too much, but enough to draw in the reader. And the art is very
nice, blending the apocalyptic setting with a couple of cool super-battles.
This book has some very cool worldbuilding going on, and is
carefully paced to not overwhelm the readers with it. I think you’ll want to
jump into this title right here at the beginning.
