Review:

Strap on your seat-belt because this ride is about to get rough. Rick Remender’s new series, Death or Glory, is, in a word, thrilling. This high-octane thrill ride fires on all cylinders and wastes no time getting started; like a great film, Death or Glory #1 opens with an intense scene, saturated with seemingly bizarre details, that leaves readers begging for more and asking questions as the plot progresses forward in a direction that promises to satisfy and excite for issues to come.

Aside from the excitement that Remender evokes here, his script stuns with authentic exchanges of dialogue and natural narration that offers readers an immersive reading experience filled with characters and conflicts worth investing their time in. Glory, our flawed protagonist with an ostensibly blemished past, is stuck in a spot that will require great ingenuity and creativity to get out of; the stakes are high, and she’s willing to do whatever it takes to succeed.

French comic book artist, Bengal, brings Remender’s script to life with style and finesse and ultimately ends up producing a comic that has an inspired look and unique feel that sets it apart from other books that are currently being published.

The Bottom Line:

Rick Remender’s Death or Glory #1 is a thrilling ride that makes great use of readers’ time. Remender and Bengal make a great team and their combined efforts have paid off in a first-issue that demands to be read and appreciated.
