Tristan Palmgren uses action-packed and clever prose to feature a unique Marvel character worthy of attention. Ideal for comics fans, and a totally enjoyable reading experience, complete with tart dialogue and enjoyable plot points. Now, I want to see Pagren take on other comics characters.
I love reading Marvel stories. Domino has always been one of favorite characters. The story gave her a nice depiction. The story flowed well. I couldn’t put it down. I’ll be looking for more stories by this author!
Domino: Strays is a must read for Marvel fans. The writing makes the narration feel personable and like the reader is talking to Domino as a friend. Flipping back and forth between the present and the past, the story skips around quite a bit but it all comes out in the wash until Domino feels real and a complex, likable character. Leading a little group of mercenaries now that includes Black Widow, Domino is up for hire for the tough cases. A cult and mother's plea for her children leaves Domino pursuing her own brand of justice. The case has her reliving the parts of the past she can remember and revealing an enthralling back story that will quickly move Domino to one of your favorite Marvel characters. The story has me crossing my fingers and wishing for a little of that patented luck that Domino will be back for a multi-book series. My voluntary, unbiased review is base upon a review copy of the book from Netgalley. #Marvel #MarvelEnt #Aconytebooks #review
This book had me riveted. I was kind of expecting a graphic novel and would have enjoyed illustration at times, but I loved the depth this was able to get into Dominos character and the story. I’ve always loved the world of Marvel in all of it’s multitudes of timelines and multiverses. I’ve always loved X-Force in particular but enjoy seeing Domino without the more attention grabbing Deadpool and Cable. I enjoyed the mix of past and present and getting to truly be inside Domino’s head. Really enjoyed this book and hope there are more.
