A Vicious Circle 1 showcases Lee Bermejo's incredible artistry in a tale of two time-traveling killers. Read our full review here:
A Vicious Circle #1 by writer Mattson Tomlin and artist Lee Bermejo, published by Boom Studios, drops readers into the ongoing battle between two time-traveling assassins, Shawn Thacker and Ferris, as it picks up once again following a 10-year respite. While the unusual nature of their connection remains somewhat obscured, both seem representative of different attitudes toward the slow pace and, at times, repetitive nature of historical events, though neither is optimistic.
Thacker's experience as a Black man, specifically a Black man from the future who seems to know his history, wraps itself around the fatalistic themes of the book. The issue introduces readers to Thacker as he awakens and thinks,"...the world will end…it just hasn't happened yet.
The story's racial themes fade as it settles into this new era, but the grim undertones remain. Thacker leaves behind the black-and-white American mid-20th century for a cyberpunk future where acid rain immediately singes his skin. Bermejo changes his style to match the new setting.
The focus on revenge leaves much of Thacker and Ferris' story a mystery implied by their dialogue and actions. They're time travelers from different times, but whether that means different eras or timelines is uncertain. Thacker traveled through time to destroy a world-ending machine created by the Kang Turing company. Ferris made the trip to turn on the device. Why such a thing exists and why anyone would want to trigger it remains unclear.
