The Strange Talent of Luther Strode Volume 1

Justin Jordan (Author), Tradd Moore (Illustrator), Felipe Sobreiro (Colorist)


I can't think of a better title to kick things off than The Strange Talent of Luther Strode Volume 1 by Justin Jordan! This may be one of the best and most satisfying trades I've read in recent memory. Not just for an indie/creator-owned book but *any* trade. I'm not one for hyperbole and as time goes on you will see that I am not one to gush or rave about a book unless it truly is something spectacular, and this is! It skirts being too humorous or light but without going too serious or dark either, which is a fine line especially for a new character and world like this one. It has humor and darkness though throughout which is what makes the ride even more enjoyable. There is a nice twist of intelligence and thought put in by Justin Jordan that really makes this transcend the ordinary.


A young man receives incredible strength and abilities from one of those mail-order offers for a physique building, Charles Atlas, type book and The Strange Talent of Luther Strode Volume 1 delves into how that affects his life as well as those around him as he gets swept up into his new situation. 


A brilliant book, I can't recommend this highly enough!


10/10
