The Fuse is a new comic that comes from yet another long line of Image number 1’s. Many of which have been amazing, some have been not so well received, but even they have been good reads.
The Fuse #1 from Anthony Johnston and Justin Greenwood, of course published by Image comics, definitely falls into the “do not miss this book” category of the recent wave of image titles. It has sci-fi, cops, death, and intrigue. Anthony Johnston writes a brilliant, futuristic, cop murder mystery, set on an “Elysium” style spaceport. He clearly shows a lot of sci-fi influences from his own life, and he obviously enjoys creating vast universes, while keeping this particular issue confined to a few key areas.
The combination of Anthony’s words and the art from Justin Greenwood crafts a vast world, without letting too much out of the bag. Justin’s art together with colours from Shari Chankhamma help to keep the book moving at a great pace. All this and letters from Ed Brisson, the book doesn’t take long to get into the story, but it also creates one big problem…
You have to wait for the next issue!
The Fuse #1 “The Russia Shift” is going to be, In my opinion, the next Image book to be a big deal, and if you are not picking this up this week you most definitely should be.
