Art by Christian Ward
This is an interesting new title from a couple of creators I am completely unfamiliar with.
The book is about two brothers who were granted immortality, and given the job of tracking down rogue Olympian gods; Hermes in this issue. There is something about them dieing and going down to the Underworld every second year or so, but not much was explained.
The chase sequence was dynamic and exciting, while also providing many opportunities for characterization - basically, this is a buddy cop movie, where the buddies are brothers and demi-gods. It's a good concept, especially when the end of the book carries omens that something has crawled out of the Underground.
The art on this book is the big draw. Ward's style looks a little like Leinil Francis Yu, but with a colour palette chosen by Kristian Donaldson. That's a good thing. Parts of the action sequence were a little hard to follow, but overall, this looks like a promising new title.
