Review: It's not often you can say that a series proper begins with a "bang," but there's a first time for everything... The first issue of Caliber offered character exhibition with touches of character development. At this point, the plot has moved forward by a good couple of years, with Arthur now 18 or thereabouts (having been a child of some indeterminate age in the last issue).
There is a touch of scene-setting with the controlled chaos of the land being brought to the forefront before we're presented with the actual catalyst for what appears to be the meat of the plot. I have to confess, there are plots and alliances hinted at here that I don't yet fully understand, but I can hope that they will be made clear in time.
As it stands, this is a fine step for the series as I'm now incredibly curious as to how it all fits together.
Overall: 4 stars. Alex Haas |
