“MidKnight Preview” By Paul Ens & Tom Hodges Review

Free 10 page preview!! With prospering careers and a three-year-old daughter, David and Tarilyn Deville seem to be living the American dream. But instead of a life of comfort, tragic events in their past led the couple to a life of service — in the ER and District Attorney’s office by day, and on the streets of Philadelphia by night as crime-fighters MIDKNIGHT and KNIGHTINGALE. Or, at least, after bedtime. Animation-style adventures from the mind of Star Wars fan-favorite Tom Hodges, artist for “Star Evasive Action”, “You Can Draw Star Wars” and more.

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.

I gotta admit hat this preview is a pretty compelling preview that had me interested in it with the essence of urban legends and nighttime heroics.

This preview in a way brings to life a vivid tale that explores the complexities of vigilante justice which seamlessly blending action and introspection and had me very interesting in it.

The narrative of this preview centers around the enigmatic MidKnight. MidKnight is protagonist shrouded in mystery and moral ambiguity which I found to be a very intriguing character which made me like him instantly.

The setting of this preview feels like a character itself with its shadowy alleys and neon-lit streets providing the perfect backdrop for the unfolding drama.

In my opinion one of the standout features of this preview is the character development which happens in this preview. Its very clear to see that the creators of this preview have taken a lot of care to delve into the psyche of MidKnight, revealing a layered personality driven by a desire for justice yet haunted by personal demons. In a way this complexity adds depth to the story, making the protagonist relatable and compelling

The supporting characters in this preview are equally well-created and well-written. Each of the supporting characters are contributing to the narrative in meaningful ways. 

The interactions between the characters in this preview feels pretty realistic and dynamic which in a way adds richness to the plot of this preview.

The highlight of this preview is easily the artwork which this preview has. The artwork in this preview is pretty bold and expressive, perfectly capturing the mood of the story.

The action sequences in this preview are particularly well-executed, showcasing Hodges’ talent for dynamic, fluid artwork that keeps the reader engaged

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 don’t 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
