It is a great time
to be an indie comic publisher today. You can go the digital route or
the traditional one. You can reach your audience directly. A
publisher can also publish what they want. Of course, there are going
to be some bad writing and some good ones. Punx of Rage is actually
very good.
The key to
introducing a new hero or heroes to a new audience is to keep it
simple. There are so many other great stories that people would
prefer to spend their money on so you have to grab them with likeable
characters with a simple story line. The Punx are a group of
vigilantes who want to keep their community clear of criminals.
The breakdowns by
Glyph Sputnik are pretty good. The story flows. Joe Currie had 20
pages to get it right and he dives in and gives the reader exactly
what they need. The panels flow and are not difficult to follow
despite the fact that Currie and Sputnik set up the panels in an non
traditional manner. That is tough to pull off and they do it well. At
the end, they introduce a key player in the Punx of Rage with enough
mystery to want the reader to pick up the next issue.
My only issue with
the comic is the lettering. The bubbles seem to be a little too large
and take away from the action. Other than that, I look forward to
reading more issues about the Punx of Rage.
