It's tough to think of a recent action movie franchise better suited for the comic book treatment than John Wick. The first two films are practically comic book movies anyway, what with their extreme displays of violence and colorful sense of pageantry. There's ample room for a spinoff that explores how John Wick came to be that fearsome destroyer of men he is in the films. Unfortunately, the first issue casts doubt on whether this series can actually make good on that promise.
This series serves as a prequel to the films, unfolding back in a time when Mr. Wick is a rough around the edges freelancer still new to the ways of the underground assassin community. In addition to following his rise up the ranks, this comic also aims to flesh out his childhood as a reckless street urchin in Baja California. Sadly, the latter element is almost entirely superfluous. The interplay between recent past and distant past isn't handled very elegantly, and those brief childhood scenes don't wind up telling us very much about the character.
