Violet Rising

Violet Rising is the first in a new comic book series fromthe pen of Tony Petry. I’ve known Tony for a while on Facebook and we’vecarried on a voluminous correspondence. He’s been sending me an image here andthere 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 thisone lives up to that. It’s crammed full of information and some backstory butdoesn’t sacrifice the action to accomplish those goals. The story flowsnaturally and there are revelations about the character on every page. The endpacks a wallop and sets up a big mystery for issue #2.

I believe that Jean-Etienne Nnabuchi and Ekes Momodu handlethe drawing work here but the story is Tony’s. (He’s been telling me about itfor quite a while.) I’m glad to see it come to fruition. If you’d like to pickup a copy, you can email Tony at: petry_tony (at) yahoo (dot) com

I heartily recommend it.
