Pax Samson Vol. 1, The Cookout, By: Rashad Doucet; Jason Reeves

Rating: 3 out of 5.

I feel bad, but I was not really into this. Don’t get me wrong, the art and the story weren’t bad, but I kept finding myself looking to see how much longer I had left. That cover though… it’s gorgeous!! I love the cover… But…

You don’t really get too much backstory besides for Grandma. So I liked her, but for the other characters, they didn’t seem fully fleshed out. Pax was interesting, but he came across as kind of whiny. I know he’s young and all, but he was just okay to me. As I mentioned, Grandma was the best character. 

I’m not going to harp that I wasn’t into this because I think most other people will enjoy this if they’re into hero graphic novels. I just wasn’t feeling it myself.

Thanks for NetGalley and Oni Press for allowing me to read this for my honest and unbiased opinion.
