On Free Comic Book Day I picked up the first issue of Black Cloak, having noticed it was written by Kelly Thompson. I’ve enjoyed her other comics, so decided to give this one a shot.
It’s a fun noir and urban fantasy, and this oversized first issue packs in some world building that won me over. I was very distracted by the inking of the art by Meredith McClaren, and the very thick lines really took me out of things. I might return to read the rest of the first collected volume to see if I can get back into the story, but I was left underwhelmed when I was hoping for an ongoing series I could commit to.
