Firsts of the Week for April 17th, 2013

It’s that time again for our reviews of the first issues that I picked up this week. New to the reviews this week I am listing the quality of the book after the price. Im going to let you know how many pages contain story out of the total pages, if the book is full color (FC) or black and white (BW), and the quality of the cover and pages (High Quality – HQ, Standard Quality – SQ, and Low Quality – LQ). If the copy I reviewed is digital it will be listed here. This will hopefully give you an idea of the value you are getting for your money.

Firsts of the Week for April 3rd, 2013

It’s once again time for “Firsts of the Week” where I review the number 1 issues that caught my eye this week. This time we have Steam Wars, Polarity, B.P.R.D. Vampire, The Last of Us: American Dreams, Miss Fury, and Thanos Rising. One thing we are starting this week is doing a rating system like the movies and give examples why.

Steam Wars #1

Story & Art: Fred Perry

Published by: Antarctic Press

Price: $3.99

Rating: PG for fantasy violence

 

We have the classic tale of the resistance fighters facing off against the overwhelming ruling power told in a Steampunk style. In “Steam Wars” we have the resistance troops lead by Duchess Imoen being attacked by the forces of Lord Baron and the Hegemonic Crux as they try to recover the stolen secret the resistance now hold. During the escape we meet up with Captain Lowe, his trained Ursine Engineer Smokey (yes, that would be Smokey the Bear), and their sarcastic upper class robot CL-335 (aka Clees). The group escape from Lord Baron’s main attack but are chased by some of his fighters and are soon shot down in a swamp where they meet and are rescused by Beauregard Baron… A Quantum Dragoon… Just like his father, Lord Baron.
