I was immediately surprised by how much I loved this. I admit I only picked this up because the cover art intrigued me but this had so much of what I love out of a story. Sebastian Harlow is the Black Flamingo, a flamboyant and narcissistic thief who gets his kicks stealing mystic artifacts from the wealthy and corrupt of Miami's occult underground. I loved how easily this first issue introduced the characters and the world. The world building was effortless and immediately painted a picture that was easy to pick up on. I loved how we immediately learn many things all within a few pages. We have a flamboyant thief who steals mystical artifacts with the help of his magical partner in crime, all set in a colourful Miami setting with a film noir tone. I loved how cynical our protagonist is and how colourful his narrative voice was. I’m immediately interested in this story, especially with the cliffhanger in this first chapter. The artwork was stunning and stylish, and I loved the art style paired with this fantastical noir setting. I highly recommend this comic for fans of urban fantasy and especially urban fantasy noir.
