“Turning Tiger: Preview” By Richmond Clements & Alex Moore Review

10-Page Preview! A top secret US military robot goes rogue and collides with the world of a suburban American family. Turning Tiger brings a tale of explosive action, government conspiracies, and above all, family. But why has the robot chosen this family and their daughter in particular? All will be revealed.

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.

The concept of this preview hints at an very engaging story which would involve advanced technology and mystery. But the execution of the plot and how it was presented to us is really weak because of the lack in clarity and depth.

The plot in this preview feels very disjointed because it is very underdeveloped and unexplored which felt like the creators of this preview didn’t knew what they were doing when they were creating this preview. Because the whole preview left me with an feeling of the storyline being incomplete like the key details were missing from this preview for us as readers to get the full picture of it. Which really didn’t help me liking this preview a lot or made me want to buy and read the full version of this comic book.

The characters in this preview are had the potential to be very good characters. But I reality they lack a lot of depth, development and personalities which would make them stand out from the rest and make them memorable for us as readers which doesn’t happen.

The main character in this preview doesn’t have a very shallow and weak personality. We don’t get any form of character background or the character’s motivation in this preview which makes the main character feel very unexplored and shallow. Which made it very difficult for me personally to like the main character or care about the character’s journey.

The side characters in this preview are just as weak and shallow as the main character in this preview. The side character doesn’t add anything to the narrative of the plot of this preview. 

The artwork in this preview is the best part of this preview because it captures the sci-fi essence with a clean and polished style. The artwork complements the setting but doesn’t enhance the overall narrative clarity.

This preview tries to give us the themes of technology and mystery which were present in this preview. But they felt very unexplored because the themes of this preview were very rushed. 

So will I buy and read the full version of this comic book ? I don’t think I will. The main reason behind this is how poorly this preview was very uninteresting for me personally

I Give This Book 2 / 5
