Welcome Back is a superb action story that is simultaneously a classic tragedy. Mali is an extremely relatable heroine for this day and age, which makes what happens to her even more confounding and sad.
Sebela’s premise and Sawyer’s and Zamudio’s art make this an instant “must have” for anyone who loves action and violence in their comics. However, don’t think this book is only about mindless swordfights and gun slinging, there is a lot of story here and hints at greater depth to come in forthcoming issues. Welcome Back #1 is a visceral, fun read that is well worth the price of admission.
