In POINT OF IMPACT, a new Image Comics miniseries by NEAR DEATH creator Jay Faerber and Koray Kuranel, a woman’s murder brings those who thought they knew her best to the realization that they didn’t know her at all. As the investigation of Nicole Rafferty’s death reveals the secrets of her life, three people — her husband, friend, and secret lover — are put on a collision course with the truth.
Writer Jay Faerber is best known within the comics industry for his work on his creator owned superhero series Noble Causes and Dynamo 5, as well as runs on
Generation X and The New Warriors for Marvel. Now after more than a decade of writing superheroes, Faerber has hung up his cape to delve into a world hardboiled crime and get his hands dirty in the new ongoing series from Image Comics Near Death.
Or – “Say Goodbye To Scrap, Slingshot, Visionary, Scatterbrain and Myriad…Â FOREVER!”
It’s been a while since I’ve done a full review checking in with the kids of Captain Dynamo, collectively known as Dynamo 5, the protectors of Tower City. In the absence of their deadbeat dad, five young people have banded together to fight against their pop’s old villains, working with his widow and the government agency known as FLAG (The Foundation for Law and Government) as superheroes. Recent months have seen the team break up, leaving super-strong Scrap alone to form her own new team. After a brutal battle with some of the most horrible creatures in their father’s rogue’s gallery, the original team is back together again… Just in time to get blindsided by their half-sister Synergy and her patron, the evil Father Gideon.
