Michael D Hamersky On Comics Presents His Take On... Genetiks The Graphic Novel by Marazano & Ponzio!

TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3640 -  I recently received a box of relatively new TPBs and graphic novels from Archaia Entertainment for possible review.  My youngest son, Vinnie, already review blogged one of them.  This graphic novel is one that I decided to read & review blog on.

This graphic novel is  'Genetiks - Volume 1'.

What is it about?   Here's the publisher's promo on that:

"What happens to Thomas Hale when the company he works for cracks his genetic code?

Genetiks is a pharmaceutical company on the cutting edge of biological science. Thomas Hale is one of thousands of employees in the Genetiks’ labs. Like his colleagues, he had agreed to give a drop of blood to his employers; a drop of blood that will allow the researchers at the company he works for to decode his entire genome. As the drop of blood is the property of Genetiks, Thomas will become, in effect, the first man to be privately owned by the corporation he works for."

So what's 'My Take' on this book?

The front cover to this book, which is rectangular in format, has a good intriguing cover.  Just enough to make you want to open the first page.

The inside front cover has the credits & other info necessary to present the book to its possible readership.  However, no introduction is shown as to what the book is about.

The 'splash page' is used... And the next page goes right into the story.

I found myself liking the artstyle right away, and it took a few pages for me to get into the storyline.

The artwork is 'realistic' in style, and it meshed very well with the storyline.

There is a final page, 'About The Authors', but that is all that is shown other than the storyline / art for this book.

The tale itself is pretty gripping, and held my interest after the first few pages in figuring out where the storyline was going.

A worthwhile book to read...

My comic book grade for this comic book presentation is a VERY FINE / NEAR MINT (VF/NM) 9.0 out of a possible 10.0 comic book grading scale.
