Comeback #1 Review

A new Image mini series hit the comic book stands this week. At the minute any new mini series by Image is pretty much a major success, so it is very wise to pick up the first issue of any new mini series just in case it is going to be another hit. Which is looking more likely than not.
Anyway, this first issue of "Comeback" focuses on a company called Reconnect, who specialise in going back in time and saving loved ones of their clients from death and bringing them into the future which they were previously not apart of. It is an idea that is very unique, and I can say with some certainty that is a topic that I have never read about before.

The story kicks off showing us a job that two agents of the company are carrying out. It all seems to be going well, until the man dies when he is being transported into the future. We later learn that he had a tumour which the family had not told Reconnect about.
In this issue we also learn a little about the two main agents in the company, who both seem like really interesting characters. We have Mark who you can tell really believes in the company, and believes that he is making a difference in peoples lives. On the other hand you have his partner Seth who seems to be having some problems which have not come out in the open yet. Their partnership has piqued my interest already after one issue, and I am eager to learn what secrets Seth is keeping from his partner and his boss. It cant be anything good that's for sure.
We also are introduced to another individual who works for the company, however it is unclear what part he plays exactly. The last panel shows that he is likely a pretty corrupt employee who may possibly be linked to a darker side of Reconnect. The company obviously provide a great service for people who have recently lost loved ones, however there really does seem to be a dark undertone to them which I am sure will be explored more in other issues. This side may also be something that Mark and Seth are currently unaware of, seeing as they both seem to be pretty decent guys. Or at least that is what we are meant to believe so far.

This first issue of the series has left us with a couple of questions leading in to the next issue. It has definitely done enough to make me want to know more about the company and the people working for it, so I will be picking up the next issue for sure. It is worth a read, so if you fancy something a bit different this month then go ahead and give this one a try.
