Super Bounty J1 Review
by Rachaun Rogers
“Solve all your problems with Pandas.”
Super Bounty J1
starts off with it’s title character blasting a large black cyborg named Sin
into the concrete and keeps up a steady pace of action and comedy from there. I
don’t tend to smile when reading comics but this one got me, the art style
while not the best in the world evokes classic Capcom comics nostalgia that
reminds me my time in arcades as a boy. There are some great scenes here like
when J1 uses an uppercut complete with shoryuken motions to KO Sin once and for
all, which had me grinning from ear to ear.
This being said I had two issues
with the comic one big and the other small. The first being that we don’t know
where J1 comes from; I’m a comics fan and I like a little back story about how
things came to be and how ended up in the position their in, but maybe that
will come with the expansion of the series. The second thing is that the world
seems small, what does the populace think of the Bounty hunters? Is this the
same earth we live on only in the future? Being that this falls into the
Cyberpunk genre, (which I love) is this a dystopian society? All of these again
can be answered with future issues.
Speaking of issues, when you buy the main book Super Bounty J1 #1 you get behind the scenes
art, back story on J1 and other characters, as well as spoilers for future stories. In the long run this was a fun book not the best I’ve ever read
but if you’re looking for action, laughs and fighting game nostalgia check it
out.
Rating 3.5/5
