Joshua Hale Fialkov is no stranger to creating world's wondrous and weird, but his latest debut, King #1, may just take the cake as the weirdest. Spurred by the art team of Bernard Chang and Marcelo Maiolo, King #1 is a rollicking ride of randomness that's as fun as it is uneven.
Set roughly 300 years after humanity went feet up and mutated animal cross breeds took over, King #1 follows the adventures of Earth's last human, the perpetually tardy, effectively violent King. Fialkov wastes no time in setting the stage, diving right into the what without so much as glancing at the why. It's a tricky approach, as that what is itself tough to define, Fialkov's opening issue bouncing from one mutated monster and epic set piece to the next with little rhyme or reason. The writer gives us enough to get us going, with some hinted backstory and a tenuous social structure, but not much else. We're able to glean King's status in the world, serving as a sort of agent for the Los Angeles Department of Reclamation. We get a little bit of exposition regarding the fate of Earth and the presumed cure to turn it around. But mostly, we just get a whole lot of weird, albeit awesome, action.
