Art was good, but it felt unoriginal and stale.

Whoops, another review I put off doing and got to kinda late. 😅

I feel like it's kinda hard to review individual issues of comic books since there's only so much you can pack into 22 pages. I already saw one review for this exact title talk about a "first issue problem" where writers introduce too much in the first issue of a new series. I don't really have a problem with that, I like having an idea of what to expect right up front.

I can at least say what led me to starting this series was the trailer for the upcoming Morbius film that came out last week. It really peaked my interest, so I figured I'd give the comics a try while I wait for the film's July release. The most recent series seemed like a safe enough bet! And I'm still kinda new to reading comics, at least having never read a Marvel title until now, so. This story is all new to me.

That being said, I liked this! I kinda liked the way it opened in present day, briefly touching upon Michael's origin story while also setting up the later issues in the series. Even with some of the creepy images of Morbius on display here in true vampire form, I'm still interested in continuing this series. So for that, I consider it a good issue! As for why I didn't give it 5 stars, well, as I said, it's a brand new character and story to me, unlike the DC characters that I do have a bit of familiarity with across various mediums. So I guess you can say I just hesitated to give this that high a rating. And I don't love the art style? But maybe that's just 'cause I've been kinda spoiled with all the wonderful art of DC comics up to this point.

Più un 3,5 che un 3.

La trama è delle più classiche se si pensa al personaggio.
Ossessionato dal cercare una cura per la sua condizione, il dottor morbius dovrà scontrarsi con la sua natura vampiresca e diversi altri nemici, aiutato dal sempre disponibile spiderman di quartiere.
Il volume si lascia leggere ed intrattiene ma chi fa la differenza sono certamente i disegni di Ferreira,ottimi.

Hmm... apakah karena konon Sony berencana membuat filmnya?

[Lukasz · Rating 3 out of 5]

I loved the art but the story didn't hook me. It leans into the horror trappings of the Vampire's tortured soul and offers way too much exposition. The action scenes, though, were solid.

Good introductory issue. Nice action and horror scenes.

[Wolf · Rating 2 out of 5]

Eh, not a fan of the art and didn’t do a great job of setting up Morbius as a character.

[Roman Colombo · Rating 4 out of 5]

I don't know a lot about Morbius, but I liked this first issue. Actually, I don't know any of these characters, so I want to see where they came from..

[READERS RETREAT · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is one new series that started out with a bang.

[Shreks Cumdump · Rating 3 out of 5]

Nice start into this little run but it feels like it's missing something. I can't say what it is directly but it just feels like it

[Steven Shinder · Rating 4 out of 5]

Nice action. It can get stale fast, though, if the other issues don't add anything else.

Ame este cómic
Muy emocionante y con una trama increíble sin duda seguiré leyendo mas de MORBIUS🦇❤️🔊

[Alan D.D. · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's a good first issue, with nothing very interesting happen. I liked the character's design, but it relies to much on visual appeal and not in the script. Could be pointing in a good direction, but it's hard to know for sure since it is just the beginning and nothing surprising happens.

Decent set-up for a series. I like the art.
