Sons of Anarchy #1 / Z-View

Posted on by

Sons of Anarchy #1  of a six issue mini-series from Boom! Studios Writer: Christopher Golden Artist: Damian Couceiro Colors by Stephen Downer Cover Shown: Damian Couceiro

Sons of Anarchy fans will be excited to get their hands on a comic series featuring their favorite motorcycle outlaws.  Writer Christopher Golden gets the feel for the characters right and artist Damian Couceiro creates likenesses that are generally very good.  Yet for all that, something feels a bit off.

The Sons are on a mission to deliver an item to a bar.  The stop off to give Tig time to grieve at the grave of his daughter.  When Tig returns to the gang, Jax is ready to call the whole thing off.  They don’t and go to the bar where Tig gets into a fight to defend a woman getting abused by her boyfriend.  Tig beats the boyfriend down and then gets a beat down of his own from the guy’s friends.  And while Tig’s getting his butt handed to him, the Sons are watching.

 Really?  Yep.  Really.  Then Jax negotiates a peaceful resolution.

There’s a subplot about a woman on the run that ends up at the Sons’ garage looking for shelter… and a couple of hitmen known as the Ghost Brothers who are hired to find and kill her.
