Reynard City

About a month ago i set out on an expedition to find new titles to read. On my journey, with a little help from Twitter, i found a nice little online comic called Reynard City.

Many of the digital comics i found on the Internet are written and produced by experienced teams or individuals already established in some way in the industry. The thing is, Reynard City, from Polycomical, isn't just any comic. It's been set up as a platform fro new talent; artists, writers, etc, to gain vital exposure and experience in the industry. This is a key point to remember. This is new talent.

Reynard City is set in an animal world in another dimension. A group of freedom fighters including AK Girl, Hyper Rob and Wondervixen battle again the evil Mega for and the Consortium to free their planet from destruction. I wont spoil it for you though as there is a twist in the story line early on, plus it's better you read it tan me trying to describe it!

The quality of the work is pretty good. Decent Artwork and Will Turner, et al, do well as writers.

It's not without its ups and downs though. In a couple of issues the story becomes hard to follow due to some ill placed speech bubbles that can be too big, have awkward fonts and contain too much white space. This is the minority of issues though. Notably issues 6 & 8 are very well produced. They look great and are my favourite of the series so far. Something i'd pick up off the shelf at my local comic book store. The series also contains one black & white issue (#5). I like the work from this artist and can See his name being in many high profile niche titles in the future.

I'm a big fan of cover art and RC, even though it's only 9 issues in, has it's fair share of striking front page visuals. Issues 2, 3, 4 & 5 are my personal favourites. They set the mood for the story ahead and entice you to begin reading.

Well, i think I've said enough. Now hit the link below and go and read it for yourself!!
