COMIC REVIEW: SINERGY #1

SINERGY #1

REVIEW BY TYLER OCHART

Sinergy #1 has the potential to be an awesome story, but unfortunately it fails to execute it well. Although the potential to be awesome is there, it is also a very unoriginal concept to an extent. The premise reminds me a lot like the TV show Reaper (unfortunately cancelled too early!) and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.  Jess , our protagonist, opens the story in the midst of sex for her first time, and some how it opens up her ability  to see monsters, apparently a gift that runs in the family, at least her dad's side.  Her dad, is also a monster hunter and wanting his daughter to follow in his steps. Like I said earlier, it could have the potential to be awesome, but it is executed so poorly. The dialogue is terrible, and sometimes juvenile. The dialogue comes off so juvenile at points that I wasn't even sure if it was an attempt to try to be funny but fell absolutely flat or just bad writing in general, and the "teenage" drama aspect was too annoying for my personal taste.

 

I mentioned in previous reviews how I hate judging art as an artist myself because these artist are leaps and bounds better then me...but really? I feel like I'm reading a comic with artwork from an 90's MTV cartoon. Okay, sure it isn't awful artwork, but it's just not pleasing to my taste. It didn't draw me into the story (technically the story didn't draw me into the story). 

Sinergy isn't for me and I think that is the major issue. It's appeal is for a different audience than me, one that could appreciate the teen drama, juvenile dialogue, and Daria like art. It is unfortunate because I really wanted to like this one, but it fell completely flat for me.

1.0/5.0
