Image Comics Fire Power by Kirkman & Samnee Volume 1: Prelude

It was on sale so I couldn't pass it up. This is awesome I read the first issue for free comic book day when it first came out and It was a lot of fun. The prelude and the first issue were available on the same day but I never bothered buying it cause it was sold out at my comic shop but for the price I said why not. This takes place years before issue one, it's not a mandatory read for the series but it does add some backstory and references. And after reading it for the cover price its definitely worth the purchase. In a time when marvel comics are getting repetitive or just don't have the shine that they used to, it's great seeing something new that takes inspiration from them but with a good twist and breath of fresh air. I would definitely recommend buy this book.

Bella questa idea di Kirkman che si butta a capofitto tra monasteri cinesi sperduti, l'arte perduta di lanciare palle di fuoco come arte marziale (chi si ricorda l'ADUUUUNKEN di Ken in Street Fighter??) e lotta tra clan rivali (ah c'è anche la storia d'amore alla base). Non il miglior lavoro di Kirkman ma una buona base sulla quale costruire una storia interessante. Kirkman sempre una garanzia. Consigliato.

Kirkman faz mais um ótimo trabalho, desta vez algo leve e divertido.Os desenhos do Samnee são demais, traço simples mas extremamente competente.

Inicio de una historia que promete. Kirkman siempre es garantía de calidad

Another hit for Robert Kirkman and Skybound. You can see the outline of a TV show in the story, settings and characters, but this doesn't detract from what is a wonderful introduction to a new series.Releasing the "origin" arc in one fell swoop continues from the die! Die! Die! Single issue cold release...and it works, as often the introductory story pieces can seem slow when you just want to get into the filling of the pie.The story works very well, has good, well drawn (if a little clichéd) characters and enough intrigue is created in the final third to warrant me chasing down the subsequent releases as and when they drop through comoxology as single issues.Chris Samnee and the entire art team are on song for this, Chris draws beautiful comic books and you get the feeling he's having fun here, freed from the shackles of mark waids insistent politics in his most recent marvel works.If you're a kirkman fan, or even just a fan of good, solid, fun action adventure stories, give this a whirl. Even more so if you're mad into martial arts films (especially the classic karate kid)!
