Velocity #1-Image Comics-Released June 30th
4 out of 5 stars
Writer (Ron Marz): While the story is a great action-packed adventure, the storyline tends to be a little too hard to follow with too much jumping back and forth.
Illustrators (Kenneth Rocafort and Sunny Gho): This duo brings this ultrafast fiery redhead to life with lightning bolt speed and an outfit to match. They created not only a superb hero, but also a great villain. Dr. Paine’s cyber-nightmarish appearance matches the evil within.
Summary:
Carin Taylor/Velocity was transformed into her superhero self by the Cyberdata Corporation. Super speed was the main gift from this transformation, but she received others as well.
Someone does not like the cyberly gifted and that someone is Dr. Erasmus Paine. Paine used to work for Cyberdata as a scientist working on the cyber humans. He performed a cyber transformation on himself, which didn’t go too well (Not surprising for anyone who has ever watched Doctor Who). Now he is out to get the people who had a good cyber transformation, mainly the crime fighting Cyberforce, which includes Velocity, Ripclaw, Cyblade, Heatwave, and Ballistic (Velocity’s sister).
Paine has his robots capture Velocity while she was watching an old black and white film at a movie theater. In the meantime, he used Velocity-look-alike robots as a means to infect the Cyberforce with a virus. Velocity and the Cyberforce have all been infected. They only have an hour to live. Velocity manages to break free from the Dr.Paine’s trap. She runs to start saving the others and herself, while time starts to tick away.
