Lets Get Juiced

COMIC UNKNOWN WOULD LIKE TO OFFER YOU THIS FEARLESS COMIC
Written and Lettered by Josh Lucas
Cover Art by Paul Anderson
Penciled and Inked by Tamal Saha

In Bay City, there's an adrenal drug that makes you fearless and numb to pain street named "Juice". This makes people even more dangerous causing the police to be armed with .45 caliber rounds than the traditional 9 mm. To make matters worse, the police are being bought out by the gangsters. With the city and the police department corrupted, who will protect the innocent citizens that are stuck as collateral damage? Detective Knight has had enough of the crooked system in this city but in order to fight this plague he needs to use that very same drug. He can't fight the mob as a detective so he digs up something from his past to make sure his anonymity stays intact.


Does he have what it takes to stop this epidemic, overall saving his city? In the first issue, the story is dark and aggressive and leaves a nice amount of necessary questions for the audience to want more. The art matches the stories theme perfectly thanks to Tamal Saha and Paul Anderson. Points to Josh Lucas, the writer, for making a bold decision of the protagonist use the same drug as the gangsters to fight fire with fire. Nonetheless, the first issue opened strongly and it leaves the audience intrigued on how the story unfolds. Detective Ed Knight is a character you mostly see in comics but not in the real world: where you must do what is right no matter how hard it may seem. 

He doesn't have that tragic history that defines the character like most comics do, other than him having PTSD which is a fresh take. Even though it's the first issue, he can't take the mobsters alone, he'll eventually need help. But who can he trust in the twisted city?
