Genius: Cartel #1
Seventeen-year-old Destiny Ajaye took on the LAPD in her South Central Siege and paid for it—not with her life, but with her freedom. Now, Destiny is sequestered in the Madrasa Institute, a government school for prodigies. But will she use her gifts to wage war at the military's behest—or is she already planning another revolution? From writers MARC BERNARDIN and ADAM FREEMAN (Castle Rock, Alphas, X-Men Nightcrawler, The Authority, The Highwaymen) and rising-star artist ROSI KAMPE, comes a sequel that promises to set Destiny's world—and ours—ablaze.

It's super dumb to review too harshly a #1 issue of a new independent comic. Twenty-two to twenty-four pages generally isn't enough story to tell you if you're going to like the comic. So this may look overly generous given time or conversely maybe it holds up.
I'm a big fan of Mr. Bernardin, mostly from his work on Fat Man on Batman (with director Kevin Smith), although I remember him when he worked at Entertainment Weekly. I have found him to be an intelligent, nuanced movie critic. I enjoyed a story he told about being hired to a DC Comics reboot of Static Shock, and then very quickly subsequent, before he could do much work, the book being cancelled, so I'm anxious to see how this foray into comics goes for him.
There's is nothing in the pages of this issue that tells me I can't go along for more issues. I'm in.

Pretty good start, I'm intrigued by the base story. Main character seems bad ass enough but at times one dimensional. Teenage angst girl mouthing people off gets boring real fasts so unless they put some real meat behind her backstory she could become the pain in the ass of this series. But overall, pretty cool. Anyone get those Aliens references?? 😂😂😂 Too good ❤️

Was interesting. Seems like it wants to keep it's radical streak of the original run, I hope that is the case with this new series
