Summary: Nice Artwork...Silly Plot
Comment: I picked up "Four Constables" because I'm a big fan of the Storm Riders' Kung Fu action comics. This is the first in a new series of books featuring 4 young 20-something men who fight crime in an ancient pseudo-China. The art, for the most part is beautiful, but at times inconsistent. (I'm not a big fan of 'chibi' super-deformed art, and at times the illustrator relies on this in several panels). (I find this art style distracting and ugly).
Well, back to the story... There isn't much of one. We are introduced to the four main characters, told a bit of background, and a bit about their fighting styles. Various villains show up and are defeated by our heroic team.
I have to say, I found this book a bit of a disappointment. The writers try to put way too much backstory in the first volume, that it reads like a character biography rather than a story. Also, I found some of the backstories simplistic (the character who drinks all the time, never gets drunk, and yet whose dad is an alcoholic...)...Er....Right.
Finally. The format. The new format half-size comics are just too small. And the art when shrunk down to this size makes the art run together and less appealing. Why Comics One? Why did you do this?
Overall, an average book. I would've rated it higher if there had been a more involved plot and if the format wasn't so tiny.
