Welcome to the story of The Red Ten, a super hero murder mystery mini series told in ten parts. The Red Ten came from the minds of Tyler James and Cesar Feliciano and it is essentially the "And then there were none" story mixed into the super hero genre. The story starts off straight into the action between Red the world's greatest detective and what we believe to be her nemesis Oxymoron. Red is defeated and is shot at point blank range leaving no chance for survival. The location shortly becomes the crime scene no one would have expected and now everyone is in mourning, including The Alliance. Quickly we learn of the members of this superteam and the extremities they will go to find the person who killed their fellow member. Consisting of 10 other members, The Alliance includes: Orion, Throttle, Master Mage, Androika, Magnitude, Bellona, Mazu, Mold, Justice America, and Crimson. After thorough investigation, The Alliance finally concluded with some intel stating that Oxymoron is hiding in a secluded island in the South Pacific.

As the Alliance begin to search the abandon building on the island they begin to notice strange things. Unfortunately, things go south as soon as Androika's OS begins to crash causing a huge explosion only leaving nine heroes left. The Red Ten Issue One is merely the tip of the iceberg that has use flipping through the pages and going onto the next issue. It's writing and art has the perfect blend for a super hero murder mystery. The Red Ten Issue one gives us the idea of Oxymoron being comparable to a Joker that is willing to do anything and kill anyone. The Red Ten Issue one is well worth the $0.99 price tag on Comixology and while the single issue is sold out, you can order the Hard Cover of consisting of the first 5 issues and Issue Zero for $29.99. You can find more information on this series from the publisher's sire Comixtribe as well as their Facebook Page.

Welcome to the world of Scam, the story that resembles the Ocean's franchise which we see a team of con artists in Las Vegas with a long history together. The first issue starts out with a team pulling a last-minute heist until one of their own double-crosses them and the whole team is basically burned. Fast forward two years later and the team reunites to settle the score with their old friend Marcus who is now a major player in Vegas with high security. There were some incidents that occur along the way which leads to one of the team members "Doc" to be captured. Doc had the ability to remember everything he had experienced and is more elaborate than eidetic memory. Scam adds the superhuman or supernatural abilities into play. In this issue, we see a few of these gifts such as  extraordinarily resilience, invisibility and lastly the ability to see through solid matter. The majority of the team met at the rendezvous point and wasted no time in initiating the revenge plan against Marcus. With Doc being held hostage, the plan gives the team all the more reason to move forward. After using their powers to corner their mark, they actually confront Marcus. Will the team find their missing friend Doc? 

While it would be nice to have at least one of these powers in the real world, the roster of abilities are superb and the readers can expect more in the coming issues. First notable quality of the book is the artwork; SCAM's creative team did a splendid job fleshing out the pages. It's visually stunning and detailed to a point where you understand the situation at hand. The story is well done with enough minor plots to keep the reader guessing on who the players are and what they're scheming up. Overall it is an exceptional comic that keeps anyone entertained. Published through Comixtribe in 2012, SCAM Issue One is available in an Ultimate Collection Hard Cover Edition on Amazon and Comixtribe.
