Violet Rising is the first in a new comic book series from the pen of Tony Petry. I’ve known Tony for a while on Facebook and we’ve carried on a voluminous correspondence. He’s been sending me an image here and there of the comic but now I’ve got the whole first issue. And I read it.
Most comics seem to make the “action packed” claim, but this
one lives up to that. It’s crammed full of information and some backstory but
doesn’t sacrifice the action to accomplish those goals. The story flows
naturally and there are revelations about the character on every page. The end
packs a wallop and sets up a big mystery for issue #2.
I believe that Jean-Etienne Nnabuchi and Ekes Momodu handle
the drawing work here but the story is Tony’s. (He’s been telling me about it
for quite a while.) I’m glad to see it come to fruition. If you’d like to pick
up a copy, you can email Tony at: petry_tony (at) yahoo (dot) com
I heartily recommend it.
