Nomad #1
SCORE: 60
When I was younger I read quite a bit of different comic books. I saw
Nomad #1 on sale at a local comic book store and remembered I had read
this series back in the day. In many ways I now regret throwing away so
many boxes of comic books. We live and learn. I had taken programming
day jobs in different areas of the country and was moving quite often. I
got tired of moving these boxes from place to place. I tried to sell
them but the comic book market had plummeted so I made a decision.
There will be spoilers in this review. We meet Jack Monroe in Nomad #1.
He was the third Bucky and the fourth person to assume the mantle of
Captain America. He was unstable and wound up getting placed in
cryogenic sleep. He was revived a bit before this comic book started and
took on the mantle of Nomad. He is a gun toting vigilante that the
government is not very pleased with. Jack gets to Seattle with a baby on
his back. The baby is not explained in Nomad #1.
Nomad breaks up a robbery of a convenience store and puts an ad in the
paper. He is a handy man that is essentially a gun for hire. He gets a
case in Nomad #1. This lady is being black mailed so he goes to convince
the guy doing it to stop. They fight and eventually have a conversation.
Jack goes and steals the information for her so she can keep her job.
The lady fulfills her obligation, Jack gets paid, and Mr. Epurer gets
the information he needs.
The issues families can have with Nomad #1 are violence, lack of attire,
enticement to lust, blood, sexual deviancy, and more. There is plenty of
sarcasm and biting humor within Nomad #1. After Jack saves the
convenience store the clerk asks if he is going to pay for some of the
damaged items. The microfilm in Jack's sunglasses is a very nice touch
in Nomad #1. There is a rebellious spirit that runs through Nomad #1.
The inside front cover actually unfolds to show a neat map in Nomad #1.
Ads are found throughout Nomad #1. There are twenty-one pages of content
found within Nomad #1. I did not pay a lot of money for Nomad #1. In
fact I probably paid less than it actually cost when it first came out.
That price was $2.00. The old advertisements are very interesting to me
since things have changed so much since then.
