Danger Street 1 delivers readers one of the most idiosyncratic and intriguing superhero debuts of 2022. Read our full review here:
Danger Street #1 introduces itself as a shaggy dog story – opening on Doctor Fate's helmet being set at a bar before proceeding to tell of how it arrived. What follows is an introduction to nearly a dozen distinctive tales drawn from DC Comics' 1st Issue Special series of the 1970s and promising to weave themselves together. Fans of modern shaggy dog tales like The Big Lebowski or The Nice Guys will recognize that this first issue isn't about anything in particular.
Yet when appreciated as a riff on 13 idiosyncratic concepts woven together with the style of a Coen Brothers film, the messy nature of the narrative becomes a strength. Danger Street is a comic book for readers who enjoy strange comic book odysseys that don't rely on convoluted continuity or obvious social metaphors to proceed.
Perhaps the biggest draw to Danger Street #1 is the depiction of so much varied material by Jorge Fornés coming off of prior King-collaboration Rorschach. Even readers unfamiliar with the underlying inspiration will recognize the diverse approaches applied by Fornés as the first issue continually pivots between perspectives. 1st Issue Special highlighted artistic talents including Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, Walt Simonson, and Ramona Fradon.
