Reborn #1 drops the idea in your lap and let’s you run around with crazy theories to what exactly is happening. So did the idea translate well into the story? Yes! Millar again drops another great book hot off the heels of Huck and Empress. I absolutely loved the idea and concept of Reborn #1. Are you following me here? When people die on Earth, some are transported to bodies in another world, that could be another dimension of Earth, this is just a theory, we’re not there yet. There’s a hardened battle being fought, and soldiers aren’t recruited, their born into new bodies after death. Reborn #1 takes the alternate universe idea to another level, possibly another level of consciousness, because in Reborn, death can sometimes mean life. If the suspense is killing you, I’d say chill, or you could just skip the next paragraph. Fret not, yes I do think Millar is one of the greats, and yes my review is coming…after a short description. So now you’re probably thinking to yourself, “Burke, we get it, you like Mark Millar and think he’s the greatest, but hows Reborn #1? The book you’re supposed to be reviewing…”. Millar also has an uncanny ability to snag artists that are just perfect for his stories: Jupiter’s Legacy has Frank Quitely, Huck has Rafael Albuquerque, Empress has Stuart Immonen (one of my favorite artists of all time), and now Reborn #1 is no different coming in hot with Greg Capullo.

I don’t think I have a personal or deeper connection to his writing, he just happens to write a ton of shit that I thinks “the bomb” as my 90’s generation would say. Those of you who actually read my reviews will know my bias towards Mark Millar. The much anticipated Mark Millar and Greg Capullo’s Reborn #1 from Image Comics is finally here, and I’m here to give you its review.
