Crowdfunded Comics Reviews: Iron Sights: A Full Review
2Hey guys, just trying to get back into my proper groove and what better way to do that than to review some of my crowdfunded comics backlog! To start with, I'm going back to a book I discussion long ago but never did a proper review of it. Ya Boi Zack's first volume of Iron Sights. Why? Because tomorrow I'll be discussing the follow up Iron Sights 2 Psychos.
This is a story about two men with one goal doing it for different reasons. Ramadi, a former Marine who, in trying to save a girl about to be executed, inadvertently starts a Border War! And Woods, a cynical veteran in his own right comes home and ends up saving Ramadi after he gets himself in too deep. Together the two decide to bring down the cartel...the cartel Woods used to work for!
What transpires is a pretty much a grind house film in comic form as we get action, witty talking scenes, violence, etc etc! And it's well told, very straight forward. The amount of characters isn't overwhelming, they all look distinct, and when a main character dies there is at least proper build up or it feels like it makes sense...yeah you can probably guess if I'm getting this specific I may have had issues with Iron Sights 2...will get to that tomorrow.
Overall this was a great first proper release from Ya Boi Zack and one of the earlier Crowdfunded releases of a comic in this community and it was not a bad start at all, at least in my opinion. Highly recommended.
