FEATURE REVIEW IMAGE'S LOW #1, 2

LOW

Issues 1, 2
Publisher: Image
Writer: Rick Remender
Artist: Greg Tocchini
Release Date: 7/30/2014, ongoing series

I always write honestly, in anything I do. Whether it is articles, reviews, fiction, even if people don’t like what I have to say.

Honestly, the reason I picked up Low is that I like Rick Remender’s writing, usually.

The problem with honesty is that sometimes it hurt and you not sure what to say. That is how I feel reading the first two issue of Low.

Honestly, I don’t know what I think of the title . . . yet. I am not quite sure what is going on. So far, it falls into that little hidden space that doesn’t allow one to really know if they are reading something brilliant, or reading brilliance into something that isn’t there.

Low is by no means bad, but I can’t say it’s great, yet. It has done enough to pique my interest, and I will check out the next few issues to see where things are going.

The issue may be that nothing is clear yet. The story changes so much from the first to second issues that it is a little jarring.

I like Rick Remender as a writer, so I am willing to give a chance that the not so clear plot and story are be design.

Greg Tocchini art works well on Low, even if it isn’t world-shaking. It has a very nice, fluid like flow to it, and truly captures the feel of a culture that lives underwater. It gives the impression one is looking into an aquarium, the exact kind of feel Low needs.

Final Thought: More issues to read need.

Rating: NA
