Union
Jack #1 (of 4)
Writer: Christos N. Gage
Penciler: Mike Perkins
Colorist: Laura Villari
Letterer: VC’s Cory Petit
Plot: While fighting a vampire epidemic, Union Jack
is called to MI5 to protect the city against a terrorist
attack. He gets help from British allies that aren’t exactly
excited to be working together. The group has a hard time
keeping together long enough to prevent a terrorist attack
on London. Meanwhile, Union Jack questions the altruistic
intentions of his superiors and disobeys orders to save the
populace.
Review: This first issue of Union Jack is packed full
of action and intrigue with a well handled political
message. While the plot points that keep the story moving
forward seem a little forced, the overall story is
interesting enough to push through. I would recommend this
title purely for the wonderful art and engaging story that
seems like it will pick up steam very quickly with the next
issue.
Special thanks go out to Jeremy Shorr, owner of
Titan Comics for allowing us to use his advance
preview books for review purposes.
