The Rundown: A journalist will discover the woman he loves shares a dark secret with her powerful family.
Even the most powerful people in the world fear the Asvald family and the owner of a powerful company will discover too late why when members of the family make their way to his well-protected compound and cut a swath of destruction throughout it.
Frey Asvald tries to stay below the radar. Something that is difficult to do when she is a member of one of the richest families in the world. Even her humanitarian missions get attention when she and her reporter boyfriend are attacked. An attack that will bring Frey back to her family for protection, but the couple will discover quickly that the family has dark secrets and will kill anyone to protect them.
The Story: Kaplan crafts an entertaining and thrilling story in this first issue. It sets up the conflict really well while also making the characters interesting. The action in the story is great and the first issue does a wonderful job of building the world of these characters. I became instantly engaged with the story and its immediacy and look forward to seeing what happens next.
The Art: Ossio delivers some beautifully detailed and visually immersive art throughout the issue. I love the character designs as well as the bloody, intense action throughout the issue.
