I just finished reading Spin Angels number 1 by J-L Sala and P-M Chan. Although the Interiors of the book are crisp and clear the story is muddled and convoluted. I'm not saying that this is a terrible book or anything but the first issue of a new series even a miniseries should leave you with an overall understanding of where the book is going or a feel for the characters, this does neither. In issue number one we see flashes of several different time periods starting In roughly 1307 the age of the Knights Templar to Modern day Rome. There are flashes between various characters nuns, priests, agents of the "black ops" section of the Vatican and a brash hitman who shares a name with this guy
But there is no depth or any form of suspense built around them at all, just that these characters exist and that they are going to be doing things. Spin Angels tries to encompass the characteristics of excitement of an adventure , the thrills of a espionage story, and the myticsism of a fantasy tale but without actually committing to any of them. My overall rating for this book is......
4 out of 10 stars 0n account of the clean artwork and that it could get better by issue two.
