Comic Book Review: Indego Blue

Indego Blue takes place in a future, where a totalitarian government’s experiments with splicing human and animal DNA together has gone wrong. Most of their subjects did not survive, those that did where thrown back into society as second class citizens. Now the government is tracking them down. Their one success, Indego Blue has turned on them to help save others like him, and to regain his memory that was wiped during the procedure that left him half man half dog.

The first issue of the six part “Old Memories, Young Hopes” introduces us to Indego and the rest of the supporting characters.

As I was reading the book, I found myself comparing it to the “Batman Beyond” animated series…not just because I had recently re-watched “Splicers” but also because Howard Russell’s artwork was very cartoon like. I know that may not sound like a compliment, but coming from a cartoon addict like me, it is.  At times it actually felt as if I were watching a cartoon, instead of reading a comic. That just shows how great the writing and illustration are, and how well the two work together.
