review:
'Dead Kings Vol. 1' by Steve Orlando with art by Matthew Dow Smith is a graphic novel set in a futuristic or alternate Russia, I couldn't tell which.
Sasha has a twin brother named Gena. Gena has been sent to prison for being a degenerate, and Sasha is determined to break his brother out. The problem is that Sacha isn't as tough as he seems, so he will need help. He finds it in former soldier Steel Mary. Steel Mary fought in the wars with a metal flying suit. The story is mainly of Steel Mary trying to find her heart again and Sasha finding his courage.
I'll admit, at first, I was not impressed, but by the end, I ended up liking this story. The art is a little clunky, but it had appeal. The characters felt fully fleshed and I liked the character journey of Steel Mary. I'd love to read more of her story.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Aftershock Comics, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
