Why yes, I have been doing this for over 21 years now and it should be second nature, but hey shut up. Quick, take a look at that cover and build a mental image for yourself on what the comic is going to be like. Done? What did you guess? Was it fluffy? This is actually the story of a secret agent cat who&#8217;s given a &#8220;big&#8221; job to do by what looks like a Christmas tree with a cat head. we learn a little more about it, but not much, and we learn that our hero is mostly doing this because he&#8217;s expecting a big payout. So maybe he&#8217;s a mercenary and not a secret agent? We also see that a dog cop is in hot pursuit of him later, so yeah, maybe he is a crook. Things end on a delightful if baffling cliffhanger, and this is a damned solid first issue of a series. Just enough hints to get the reader intrigued, with promises of more to come. So hey, it&#8217;s a good thing that he sent along the first four issues of the series, right? Still, if you&#8217;re not afraid of a little risk, Brandon&#8217;s art is always welcome and there&#8217;s more than enough for you to give in and buy an issue to check it out. For the more cautious types out there, I&#8217;m sure more reviews are coming, so just stay tuned! Which is a thing I wonder if younger people even understand, as far as phrases go. See? I should have wrapped this up a few sentences ago.
