Rush #1 DC comics

Rush City has a pretty basic premise. This guy had a major trauma, he wants to prevent other people from having similar trauma in their lives, so he tries to prevent it. His tagline, you lose someone you love, I will find them. Of course to do that he has a souped up car.

The first issue, is a nice little continuation of the #0 that came out a bit ago. We have the main character trying to find a lost little girl, the trick is that she has diabetes, and unless we get to her in 24 hours she will die. So we have a lot of Rush beating up on the usual lowlifes, and a few car chases. The girl, turns out, fell into the hands of some pedo trash, but couldn’t get any money for her cause she was “sick” Rush, rushes to the rescue. Heh. And saves her.

The book was ok, nothing to write home about, good setup of the premise, and possibly a good book. The only thing that has me worried was the last scene, the setup of some sort of car based supervillian named gearhead… “I am my car” pfft, that so sucks. They had a sort of good little alternate vibe, could have stayed clear of the capes, and kept it reality based, but nooo they had to throw in gearhead. Sigh….

So, I’m giving this a hopeful 3 stars out of 5, just cause its new, and I have hope.
