Mar 17, 2020While we dont get the full blown pulpy time travelling spy plot just yet, Artemis and the Assassin #1 offers up a set of characters that are as exciting, mysterious, and fun as the world they inhibit. There is a ton of promise here and a team that is completely capable of executing it. Read Full Review

Mar 19, 2020With this review copy being uncolored, I really can't say too much about the art beyond I like the designs that I can see here and the flow of the story is solid. A color job can radically change how a book looks and I have no doubt that Lauren Affe can take the appealing artwork here and make it even more engaging and appealing. Phillips' storyline is definitely nicely done here as we get some of the basics with plenty more to be learned so that it's not an overload of information. It's smooth and straightforward and leaves you at the end wanting more, which is always a good thing. Read Full Review

Sequential Planet - Danilo To
Mar 19, 2020Despite its few flaws, Artemis & The Assassin promises to be an interesting new series from Aftershock. If you're interested in time-traveling agencies like I am, it is worth giving it a go in order to support the publication. But it also might be worth waiting on the next chapter to see how the story engages. Read Full Review
