Sneak Peek: Strip Magazine Volume 2 #2

I accedentialy missed in my review of the the #1 of Strip Magazine details of The Crucible. A skewed look at a ‘task’ force with a swords and sorcery feel to it. This wasn’t intentional, as I enjoyed it and think it has some good legs on it.

So here’s a sneak peek for the the next issue!

Spotlight: Velica

20130326-223708.jpg

I’ve already spotlighted the Indiegogo campaign, but here is some more about Velica and what you can expect.

20130326-223851.jpg

Out of the first five issues you get a lot of action – each issue has a lot bunched in with some excellent scenes. Any slower scenes are very well paced and have some well thought out story within them.

20130326-224213.jpg

As you can see there are some stand out covers here – the sort I remember seeing when I was younger, and don’t see so much anymore. The light/dark theme continues within the issues, making an excellent blend on the pages.

20130326-224452.jpg

The start of the story throws you right into the action, with a short introduction at the beginning – have no fear, specifics are built into the story – each issue seems the same with no let up.
I get the feeling of the Miss Mirage mini series with the style of the story. Which is a good thing and both of them are ones I enjoyed.

20130326-224730.jpg

In all this is an excellent independent series, which has an excellent team behind it. Worth checking out!
