The Weatherman, Vol. 1
by Jody LeHeup
Story: So the story starts off fun enough. Weather Man Nathan Bright goes on tv every day and makes everyone feel better about their life. Something TERRIBLE happened on earth and throughout the story we get bits and pieces of it to build the backstory. Soon after the end of issue 1 things go bonkers and we got our weather man on the run with another solider but twist and turns keep coming and you can't trust anyone.
Art: It's fantastic. The strongest part about the book for me is the art itself. Vibrant and really well done. From the environments looking lively and colorful to the characters ALL have distinct looks to make them unique. The flow of the action is perfect with a lot of brutality thrown in.
Enjoyment: The pacing is quick and it's NEVER boring. So many twist and turns will keep you turning each page. The fights are explosive and the violence, while sometimes a bit much, is pretty darn fucked up. I also think the art really makes me enjoy this series even more.
What Didn't Work: Okay, so with the great art and neck-breaking pace, a lot of good is here. However, some of the violence is a bit too much. Like just gruesome for shocking moments. I also think it gets a bit confusing, especially when it introduces more and more characters without giving them time to breath before they act.
Overall, very very fun. The art is great, the pacing is great, and the characters are interesting. If the story keeps going without trying to convoluted it too much and slow down on violent kills, this could be a 5 but for now it's still great. 4 out of 5.
