BLACK [AF]: Devil's Dye #1

by Vita Ayala, Liana Kangas (Penciller), Maika Sozo (Artist)

A brand new BLACK [AF] mini-series by breakout star Vita Ayala (The Wilds, Supergirl, Bitch Planet, Livewire, Marvel Knights) and your next favorite artist Liana Kangas. When a new drug called VANTA hits the streets, word is it's the hottest thing since Ecstasy. For regular people, it has all the highs and none of the lows of traditional drugs. There is some fine print, however -- for empowered Black folks, the drug causes a total and violent loss of control. The Project sends Indigo to investigate, and it soon becomes apparent that this is more than just a new designer distraction for the masses. Indigo, together with former Detective Ellen Waters race to find the source of the substance poisoning their people, before it's too late! The superhero universe where only black people have super powers continues to expand, for the first time with a new creative team building onto the exciting world created by Kwanza Osajyefo, Tim Smith 3, Jamal Igle & Khary Randolph.

The previous positive reviewer's can't be serious or they've never read a comic before so don't know what's good. I could not believe how bad it was or that it got published.
The illustrations are high school level (the cover is NOT an example of the quality inside). The character's are cliche and shallow. The writing is abhorrent and there are plot holes everywhere.
What's sad is there were some story angles that could've been interesting with a better writer and illustrator. There are much better things to waste your time & money on.

Narrazione per adesso non troppo intrigante, ma si tratta pur sempre del mondo di "Black".
I disegni non sono all'altezza di ciò che ho già letto sul tema, deludenti, semplici e stancano molto la vista.

Wasn't my favorite series. Liana Kangas is one of my favorite illustrators, but I couldn't get into the story.
