ComicNerd Review: Gemini #2

Gemini 2
Storyline: Not Specified
Date: June 18th, 2008
Price: $3.50 US
Writer: Jay Faerber
Artists: Jon Sommariva and Fcolor

Synopsis: Gemini is one of The Constellation’s top super-operatives. So why have they sent another one of their operatives, the Lynx, after him?

Opinion: Just like its predecessor Gemini 2 is just as much as a thrill ride as the first. The surprise ending of the last comic is quickly resolved and a new plot twist develops just as quickly.  This comic keeps you enthralled! The art is unique (at least to me, a noob) and very apropos to this comic. The character development of all involved is well done, including the new people who are introduced this issue.

The uniqueness of this comic is the fact the the superhero is not aware of his alternate identity, nor is his “normal” alter ego away of the superhero. This makes for a very interesting story where a group of people run our hero’s life both the benign and the superhero. Of course the new girl to this group of people has screwed up which caused a big shock in the last issue. Now to rectify the situation they must send out reinforcements to bring the superhero home without him finding out about his normal alter ego.

I know I’ve already spoiled some of the story, read on to find out the rest…

Gemini #1

Gemini 1
Storyline: Not Specified
Date: May 7, 2008
Price: $3.50 US
Writer: Jay Faerber
Artists: Jon Sommariva and Fcolor

Synopsis: From the creator of DYNAMO 5 and NOBLE CAUSES comes Image’s newest superstar: Gemini, a super-hero whose identity is so secret, even he doesn’t know what it is! Dan Johnson is just a normal guy with a normal job… or so he thinks. What he doesn’t know is that a secret organization is using him as their weapon against crime. Dan Johnson is Gemini!

Opinion: The new comic “Gemini” is worth the money! It’s action packed with character and story development that will keep you on the edge of your seat from cover to cover. It’s not your typical superhero comic and yet it is - that is what will have you coming back for more. I don’t want to spoil the comic, because it’s worth your time to read it but I have to say out of all the comics I’ve ever read this has a really unique twist on the typical superhero story.

I’m not a big fan of the art itself personally but that’s just my opinion and even then it does nothing to detract from the story.  It was one of the longest comic’s I’ve read in a long time and if you’ve read any of my other reviews that’s one of my biggest pet peeves; I hate paying for a comic and then only have 12 pages or so of actual story.  This one has at least 25 (I didn’t count).   I cannot wait for the next issue to come out the ending was quite a shock!

I can’t contain my excitement about this comic and I want to tell you more reasons why I like it but in order to do that I might spoil it for you - so click through to read more if you don’t mind being spoiled!
