Rating: 4 out of 5.
Meet Felix, a master thief who lives life on his own terms, in the 2023 comic-book series “Cat Fight” by Andrew Wheeler and Ilias Kyriazis. In issue #1, readers are immediately plunged into Felix’s thrilling world of thieves and extravagance. But when a heist goes wrong and a mysterious villain targets Felix’s only surviving family member, he finds himself in more trouble than he ever bargained for.
From stealing diamonds to escaping cops, navigating a high-fashion masquerade party, and negotiating with a shady criminal mastermind named Schrodinger, Felix goes through a roller-coaster ride within the first few pages of “Cat Fight”. The artwork, with its slightly retro style, perfectly fits the neo-noir story and keeps readers engaged in the tale.
What makes Felix a flamboyantly fun protagonist is his larger-than-life personality. He’s witty, charming, and fearless, but also has a vulnerable side that readers will discover as they delve deeper into the story. In a surprising twist, the creators also pack in some flashbacks to Felix’s family history, adding layers to the tale.
As the plot thickens, readers are left hanging with an explosive climax and an amusingly dangerous twist. Overall, “Cat Fight” issue #1 sets up the series pretty well.
It’s a 4 on 5 from me.
