Perception of Time

Comic Unknown's Time Traveling Paradox

Comic Unknown would like to welcome back Adamant and its creative team to another great review. Adamant Issue 2 begins with a back story in Paris where Dr. Alpha is up to no good (as always). After a few punches, Adamant seems to have saved the day and put Dr. Alpha away. Unfortunately, nothing is what it seemed and what Adamant thought was a victory, might have been the seed to his eventual conundrum. Agitated, confused, and stuck in the future, Adamant is not having it with Dr. Alpha leading a rebellion. Considering the history between these polar opposites, one cannot blame Adamant's suspicion that this may be another ploy from Dr. Alpha. Adamant went on the offensive instead of listening to his old nemesis' story, but realized he doesn't have any ground on this unidentifiable world that he once protected and decided to listen to Alpha's proposal. Dr. Alpha needs his "old friend's" help to stop a bigger threat, a tyrant from destroying the world and nothing is what it seems in this world.

Will our hero remain adamant in this dystopian world long enough to return to his own time? Can he trust Dr. Alpha or is just a giant con? Adamant issue 2 is very similar to the previous issue: classic with a surprise ending, which seems to be a good theme for this comic. Nevertheless, kudos to Mike Exner III for this well-written story and for never disappointing thus far. Like the previous issue, Adamant has two artists: Ian Waryanto and Dann Franco. Ian Waryanto illustrated the future timeline and Dann Franco created the prologue or the past timeline. Franco's timeline uses a unique color scheme in contrast to the future timeline to convey the past instead of just using the text "The Past". Adamant #2 is wonderful superhero comic that can give the reader the pleasure of attempting to figure out what will happen on the next issue. Only time will tell what is true and what is not in this bleak future. Adamant Issue Two is via Comixology for $0.99, and don't forget to give them some support by following  Adamant's Twitter, Loophole Comic's Twitter & Facebook, and their official site.

Gotta Keep Things Muddy

Comic Unknown's Rigid Tale

We welcome another super-heroic indie comic (un)known as the Adamant. This self-titled series follows the hero trapped in the future who must find his way back to his timeline. We follow Adamant as he literally crashes in on Dr. Alpha's evil plans in Geneva, Switzerland. Adamant swiftly defeats Alpha's robotic henchmen and then closes in to get the doctor himself. The classic super-hero defeats the villain is quickly cut short as Adamant has a miscalculation in which can destroy the whole base and everyone in it.  As a traditional superhero story, Adamant saves the day! He begins to contain the blast but then suddenly meets his supposed demise and is vaporized giving Dr. Alpha his villainous victory in the end. As most comic readers know, a superhero comic won't just kill off the hero especially not in the middle the first issue of a comic. The reader will begin to learn that Adamant was not vaporized but was just simply teleported to the future. Lost and confused he must find his way home, but how? 

Stated earlier, Adamant started as any superhero tale but with a surprise ending. Written by Mike Exner III who also co-created with Hany Khattab, Adamant is vaguely similar to Jack's situation from Samurai Jack. The great art styles of Adamant is the responsibility of two different artists.  Ian Waryanto was responsible for the first seven pages the story while D.C. Stuelpner drew up until page twenty. The change in art styles occur within the teleportation page and works very well. The future city landscape pages are very detailed oriented and enriches the storytelling since it is a change of time period. Overall the comic was splendid, an excellent read and can easily be picked up by anyone. Adamant Issue One is available via GumRoad or Comixology $0.99, or pay what you want on Sellfy.  While we love to support the indie creators, we also recommend to check out the web-series of the awesome story to get a quick taste which updates every Monday. You can check out their social media sites such as  Adamant's Twitter, Loophole Comic's Twitter & Facebook, and their official site.
