review:
'The Wrong Earth, Vol. 1' by Tom Peyer and Paul Constant is a graphic novel that has two superheroes changing worlds and the consequences of that.

In a sort of Silver Age world known as Earth-Alpha, Dragonflyman and his young sidekick fight goofy heroes, but their main rival is known as Number one. On the gritty Earth-Omega, Dragonfly has lost his sidekick to the much crueler villain Number One, and Dragonfly resorts to violence in a darker more sinister world.

Now a strange mirror has brought each world's main hero and villain to it's counterpart. Can Earth-Omega deal with a moody, hyper-violent hero, and can an upbeat do-gooder survive in the gritty world of Earth-Omega?

I loved this look at how different comics have become over the ages. If you know comics a little, it's easy to know which hero they are mimicking, and they do a good job. The art changes for each world, and I loved the care that was taken, even extending to some fun backup stories from each world. This was just a lot of fun to read.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Ahoy Comics and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
