Again in 2021, Mat Groom and Erica D’Urso launched a Kickstarter marketing campaign for his or her tokusatsu-inspired graphic novel Inferno Woman Pink. I backed it so shortly and pledged sufficient to get the great hardcover copy of the e book. Then, earlier this 12 months, they had been capable of fulfill the backer orders and I obtained my copy and it was beautiful. Sadly, I used to be solely not too long ago capable of learn the graphic novel and it’s unbelievable. In the event you missed out on the Kickstarter, don’t fear. Inferno Woman Pink is being launched in three components with #1 already out and accessible at your native comedian retailers with all three being collected in paperback this July.
I backed Inferno Woman Pink for a couple of causes. First, I like the character design and artwork generally for the comedian. D’Urso did an unbelievable job in each these departments and Igor Monti killed it with the colours. Second, it was a part of the Large-Verse which is a comic book e book universe I’ve come to like. It began with Radiant Black from Kyle Higgins, however it has grown into a lot extra and Inferno Woman Pink is a unbelievable addition. Third, I’m a sucker for just about something impressed by tokusatsu.
Inferno Woman Pink tells a extremely unbelievable story a couple of woman named Cássia and her mother shifting again to the large metropolis to go to high school after the identical metropolis principally chased her mother out of city. The rationale? Her mother would report on the hero Inferno Woman Pink, however nobody believed that Inferno Woman Pink was actual. Effectively, after some loopy occasions, the whole metropolis will get lifted off the bottom and one factor results in one other with Cássia changing into the brand new Inferno Woman Pink and having to cease the dangerous guys. I’m doing my finest to not spoil something, I promise.
The way in which this story is informed is a lot enjoyable. Now we have real character moments all through. We meet nice characters that really feel like they’d exist on this world. It’s a brisk tempo which retains you engaged longer and is split into three components that I might see simply being tailored right into a 3-part animated miniseries. It looks like you might be studying a tv present and I like it. I’ll admit that there’s not a lot thriller within the story. The little mysteries they set up just like the identification of the dangerous man are fairly apparent. Nonetheless, I don’t hate it. In reality, I don’t thoughts it in any respect. It doesn’t have to attempt to have some loopy twist to be good.
On the finish of the day, Inferno Woman Pink is a narrative about perception and believing in a single’s self and it’s so properly completed. Possibly it’s simply the place I’m proper now, however it’s so necessary proper now to listen to this message and see such great individuals supporting their associates.
Whether or not it’s the artwork or the writing or the character design, I can’t discover any fault with Inferno Woman Pink besides one. There isn’t any extra of the story introduced in the mean time. The e book ends on a fairly large notice that clearly exhibits what the subsequent couple of arcs will most likely be, however there have been no bulletins concerning a E-book Two. In reality, on Twitter, Groom responded to my cries for a E-book Two with this:
