Jon Moore is the most sought after spy-for-hire in Europe’s criminal world. This is because of Jake Ellis, a psychic man who is invisible to everyone except Moore.
When a deal goes bad, the only one who can protect Moore from Europe’s most dangerous criminals is Jake Ellis. No one but Moore can see Jake Ellis.
But Jake Ellis can see everything.
Who Is Jake Ellis? has exactly what I’m always looking for in a comic. It’s short, to the point, superbly drawn, and ends with enough intrigue that I can’t wait to pick up the next issue and jump back into the story.
Who Is Jake Ellis? starts off with a bang. A deal has apparently gone bad leaving our main protagonist Jon to improvise an escape and run for his life. We quickly come to realize that everything is not as it seems with Jon. He is being assisted by a man who may or may not exist only in his mind and who always seems one step ahead of the next situation. The only problem is that Jon doesn’t always listen to the voice in his head and this soon puts him in a very precarious situation. The only way Jon is gonna survive is to put his ego aside and listen to Jake and that may not be easy for a man like him.
I very much enjoyed the story. It was fast paced, didn’t get bogged down in trying to explain every detail and gave just enough information to keep me wondering what was gonna happen next. Jon’s character is a prototypical James Bond type, he loves action and he loves the ladies and those two things seem to get him in one bad situation after another. I’m very interested to see where this story is headed and what the dealio is behind the mysterious Jake Ellis. Is he here to assist Jon and if so why? Is he a tool of someone else, purposely putting Jon in bad spots? Or is he just a product of Jon’s psyche, a damaged man trying to deal with one too many deals gone bad? Only time and future issues will tell.
I enjoyed the cover and art style of this issue as well. The cover was striking, the color and contrast coming together in a perfect match to catch my eye. This art style continues throughout the book drawing your eye from one frame to the next as the story advances. The use of silhouettes and outlines worked great to convey a sense of danger and intrigue as Jon attempts to move in and out of the shadows to escape the men looking to kill him and anyone around him.
Who Is Jake Ellis? is a great example of thinking outside the box and expressing ideas in new and different ways. The story telling, art style, and characters created within the pages of this comic are exceptional and definitely have me interested in checking out future issues of this new and exciting comic.
