Dark Reign: The Hood #1

by

Dark Reign: The Hood #1 is part of a Marvel limited series by Jeff Parker and Kyle Hotz. The Hood and company are basically superpowered bad boys who are into to breaking the law and making money. All in all, the first issue was well-rounded. The characters are distinct and the premise is a genuinely novel idea. Parkers plot work is excellent as the hook at the end with the introduction of the Hood is compelling, I think this could be an extremely popular run and the limited-series could very well expand into a regular monthly read. Hotz’s pencils are unique and they serve to compliment the story in this particular instance. While, not too over-the-top or cartoony he finds a good balance between the realistic and the extraordinary. The colors on the issue pop and the production is slick. Also, there is a bit of edge to the title, which I’m sure will appeal to the adolescent market, and some newer readers. All in all, I’d have to give this book a seven out of ten. Parker strives for originality and he is extremely successful of breaking the mold of the cardboard superhero.

About Comic Book Journal

Where do capes and cowls end and horror and noir begin? What's more important: the four-color panels, or the letter balloons within them? Did comics really begin in cave walls, or just in the Sunday morning cartoons? What the heck is a graphic novel? These questions and more are answered in the Comic Book Journal, the place between the page and the panel, the motion line and the sound byte, the superhero and the every(wo)man.
