“Romero’s Requiem: Preview” By Jaime Román Collado &  Guillermo Regalado & Miguel Hdez. Cedillo Review

10-Page Preview! From the gin-soaked darkness of Necro York emerges Ian Shoot, a film noir-esque secret agent with an orphaned past shot full o’ bullets and gorgeous dames who just won’t stay in their graves. Ian lives for the moment – and those moments are running out. Caught in a web of double-crossed deceit with rogue agents on his shadow, Shoot’s last-shot redemption lays with Silk, a sensuous femme fatale who melts his Humphrey Bogart tough-guy shell. Together they must discover the key to bringing down Extortion, Inc. – the mysterious criminal syndicate masterminded by the phantom-masked industrialist Romero.

Let me start this review by saying that this one is just a preview for the entire comic book. And I read it because I wanted to see if the full comic book was worth the money and time I would spend on it. And I’m gonna give you the answer for that at the end of this review.

This previews sets the stage for a very good plot with huge potential about a thrilling tale filled with mystery and depth. Which I really liked a lot because the potential was used and the plot is very good even though it has some weak parts here and there.

The plot in this preview is engage and is a good blend of elements of suspense and drama. The narrative is well-paced in this preview. But the down side of this preview is that it is providing just enough detail to intrigue us while leaving us eager for more.

The characters in this preview are introduced with depth and complexity to them. Which I personally found to be very good because this preview actually was able to get me invested in the character journeys of all the characters in this preview. 

The preview hints at rich backstories and motivations, promising further development in the full version of this comic book.

The artwork in this preview really dies stand out a lot because of how good it had captured the tone and mood of the story which really played well together. 

The illustrations in this preview are very detailed and atmospheric, which in a way are enhancing the suspenseful and dramatic elements of the narrative.

This preview gives us the themes of mystery, identity, and redemption which really played well together with the storyline of this preview. At the same time the themes of this preview offered us both entertainment and substance. The themes of this preview are very thoughtfully presented, adding a layer of depth that resonated with me personally which made me add some point to this preview.

So will buy and read the full version of this comic book ? Yes I will. It might take some time for me to actually read the full version of this comic book because I have been way too optimistic when creating my TBR list for this year and I dont know if I get the time to read the full version of this comic book this year. But I will read the full version of this comic book at some point in time.

I Give This Book 4 / 5
