I forecast a massive warming trend for Weatherman #1, from Image Comics. This book hits all the right elements for comic reader enjoyment!

With its fresh blend of gusty enthusiasm, a pleasant mix of insouciance and “je-ne-sais-quoi”, and the violent introduction of blasts of cccold air and hot gunfire, this book is a breath of fresh air!

Weatherman #1 comes to you from writer Jody Leheup and artist Nathan Fox, with colors by Dave Stewart.

What’s it about? Well, it’s Mars in 2770, and TV weatherman Nathan Bright, young, cocky, mister ‘keep the weather broadcast upbeat’ is being pursued. And not by the young ladies of town, but by hitmen. Apparently, Nathan has caused the deaths of millions of people. But he doesn’t remember!

The art and story in this comic are top notch. So forgive my weather-related references sprinkled throughout this review, and grab a copy of Weatherman #1!

Image Comics, Weatherman #1, $3.99 for 31 pages of content. M for Mature.

After a career of graphic design, art direction and copywriting, I still have a passion for words and pictures. I love it when a comic book comes together; the story is tight, and the drawings lead me forward. Art with words... the toughest storytelling technique to get right. Was this comic book worth your money? Let's see!!
