Customer Reviews
I was honestly surprised at how much I enjoyed this book—it’s a Top Cow effort and it’s modern TnA comics, so everyone’s disproportionately weird from a visual perspective, and you get covers like the one above, where a girl has to stick a gun into her crotch for reasons unknown. (What if it goes off accidentally? OUCH, that’s what.)
Story-wise, there’s an unexpected level of depth to Genius—basically, it’s a what-if scenario that envisions the next great military genius growing up in the projects and deciding to go to war against the LAPD. This debut offering just gives a taste of where that story would go, and I must say, I’m honestly curious to follow the tale further. I hope there’s more to come.
