Roof Jumping

HEROIC GENETICS

Welcome back to an awesome review with Comic Unknown! We enter a new comic series and discover a new potential superhero in town. What's the catch? There has been only one superhero in existence up to date. What's the twist? The new "hero" is the first superhero's daughter! We welcome readers to Like Father, Like Daughter Issue One. The issue follows a teenage girl named Casey that lives with her single mother. She absolutely despises her father but like most teenage rebellion, her emotions to her father has a unique difference. Casey's father left her mother and herself to become the first superhero and called himself Invulnerable. Requiring his undivided attention, Invulnerable made the superhero business his number one priority and left everything else behind. It was not until Casey saves a young boy's life that she notices that she too has abilities. A bit unsure of what to do, she confides in her best friend Stephanie and tells her all the nitty gritty. Now convinced that she can do some better for the world, Casey begins to train her newly found abilities and see what her limitations are. She tests her speed by jumping rooftops and her endurance by taking pitches directly to her body. 

As the story begins to show our new hero grow, the story also shows a glimpse of Invulnerable's thoughts on what he did. Does he regret his past decisions with his family or does he live with it and enjoys the spotlight? Written by Kathryn Calamia,  Like Father, Like Daughter Issue one is the base of a potentially great series. The outrage Casey has towards her father will forever be engrained as she now has special abilities thanks to him. The art adds an extra layer of her character development as it emphasizes on her emotions and allows the readers to enter both her father and her world. With Wayne Brown (Pencils/ Inks), David Aravena (Colors), and John Palmer IV (letters) all working together in this creative team, Like Father, Like Daughter Issue One is well worth a look. Like Father Like Daughter is available in print for $3.99 at the Short Fuse Media site, digital for $1.89 at the Short Fuse Media site,  and in digital on Comixology for $1.99.

True Gritt

WELCOME TO ANOTHER HEROIC SMACKDOWN AT COMIC UNKNOWN! 

Gritt Issue 1
Jordan Johnson (illustrator/creator) and Max Milne (writer)

We travel to Havenport City to see the story of this superhero comic: Gritt. Gritt and many others travel from the fallen planet of Aralios to the distant planet many of us know as Earth. Created and illustrated by Jordan Johnson and written by Max Milne, Gritt shines as the underdog hero as we follow him along with Glory catching no good chumps and assisting the police department of Havenport City. We see Gritt's perseverance and courage when he has to face off against Vigor the Great Warchief. Vigor is known for his triumphs over the famous Validus nation and even after every hit Vigor delivers, Gritt takes them as a champ demonstrating his perseverance once more. He does not give up, he plays his strengths, and maneuvers the battle to his benefit (somewhat). Gritt has the ability to fly and shows he can get a major butt woopin' and yet still manage to stand up and never surrender.

Gritt Issue 1 has not done much of development but it leaves a good impression to the reader. It gives us that underdog story with a side of superheroes. We see many characters in the issue which gives us the idea for a deeper story that we cannot wait for. While it ends in a cliffhanger and leaves more questions than answers, Gritt is a sucker punch to any villain out there. We expect to see more of Gritt and want to see how his story continues to develop. He is now part of Short Fuse Media Group's roster and he can be found in Heroes: Ignited Anthology with his own short story. Gritt Issue One can be purchased digitally or physically from IndyStash's monthly packages here for 5.00 and 12.00 respectively which includes FOUR different indie books.
