Review: Detective Rumble
One man, forever trapped between the old world and the new is the only one who can stop these factions on a collision course. Can Detective Rumble save the future or will the sins of the past tear him apart once and for all?
Eighty years from now a woman walks into a police precinct for a consultation with Detective Druid Rumble. Her company has been robbed. A mysterious item, 'Lot 130-245' was being transported by train at night. Despite heavy security measures a gang of mercenaries was able to break into the carriage and grab the prize. Two dozen elite professional guards lie injured or dead and the train did not even decelerate. Gone in 110 seconds...
Who could pull off such an audacious heist? Rumble recognises the M.O. of 'The Five', a group with highly advanced technology and abilities. He is soon on the case, using his own tech to home in on the gang and their booty.
But what is Lot 130-245 and why is it so valuable? And what is the shadowy company represented by Rumble's client? It seems there unearthly elements at play here ...
Detective Rumble by writers Raudric Curtis and Ishmael Ishen and artists Great Ukwuoma and Joshua Emmanuel is a cyberpunk thriller with an emphasis on high-tech crime and violence. In a world not really that different from our own forces are waging a secret war in which it is unclear who are the real villains. The action is illustrated with a bold energy, characters loosely rendered but with a dramatic delivery.
The Five are a formidable group, but Rumble has a few tricks up his sleeve too... Will it be enough?
