Truthful Reviews: Lucy Claire: Redemption #1

Written by Manuel A. Carmona

   We're back with another installment of Truthful Reviews! This time we're reviewing a book published by Image Comics called Lucy Claire: Redemption #1. First things first, I loved this book! Secondly, much respect for John Upchurch who wrote, illustrated and lettered this book by himself! WOW!!! 

Here's the synopsis of the story from Wikipedia: 

Lucy Claire was once a celebrated hero. But through a series of sinister events, she was slandered and defamed, and her children were taken from her. But when an old danger re-emerges, Lucy will have to take on the mantle of hero once again in order to right the wrongs of her past and—above all else—find a way back to her children.

   Lucy was a hero, a legend who saved an entire town from an unspeakable evil; but at a very high cost to her. Many believe she's dead, but recent events become the catalyst for her return from the dead... so to speak. The artwork on this book is absolutely stunning! Every character is so unique in their designs, the colors are so beautifully rendered that you can't help but get sucked into this World. The main character is a beautiful woman, but has a very distinct look that you don't see in comics often; which I also enjoyed. All around this book has been one of the best that I've read in a while, not necessarily because of the story, but because of the whole package. I'll definitely be looking for the rest of the series. 

​As always... keep it Truthful!
