    The result is a comic that feels fresh, funny, and absolutely packed with personality. If this debut issue is any indication, the team at Mad Cave just launched a series that could become one of the most entertaining sci-fi books on shelves right now. And honestly? If Area 51 really looks like this...I want the employee handbook. Read Full Review

    51 #1 is a fun and unique book with a lot of heart and some cool conspiracy undertones. The world is unique and the story is a little crazy. But the untold parts that are yet to be seen are the most promising. This is a series that I will be looking forward to seeing how it develops over the next issues with some high hopes. If you want a different and fun first issue you can fall in love with, grab a copy of 51 #1 when you visit the LCS this week. Read Full Review

    51 #1 sets a wild satirical stage with Area 51 drudgery exploding into leaks, but farcical humor fizzles too often to hook you fully, and the story basics stumble on with weak goals wrapped in solid art bursts. In a limited comic budget, it scrapes by for satire fans craving Mad Cave weirdness, yet most will find better time investments elsewhere. Read Full Review
