Title: Tracker: First Look Publishers: Top Cow & Heroes and Villians Entertainment Writer: Jonathan Lincoln Artist: Francis Tsai Price: $ 2.99 US/Can Rating: 2 out of 5 stars Comments: A grisly murder scene with a beautiful Agent Kendrall called in to check it out starts this comic off. Her partner was already there and O'Roark was in a most unusual situation. A most decidely unappealing postion. The art is pasty and vague. It is hard to see details in it. It should be more clear. The promise of action, excitement and violence are here but its only a promise of something that is not here. This is only a21 pages as well instead of the 32 regular pages. It introduces some of the main characters but thats it. As we get into more of the werewolfs activities the comic may pick up.
