The Unwritten: Tommy Taylor & the Bogus Identity (vol. 1)

Author: Mike Carey

Premise:
Tommy Taylor's father wrote one of the most beloved fantasy series ever. One day his disappeared without a trace. Now Tommy lives off his father's past glory until one day a reporter claims he is not the son of the author. His world is suddenly thrown into shambles looking for the truth while a secret organization monitors him.

My Take:
There's a lot to enjoy about this comic, especially if you fond of classic novels. And this first volume sets up what is potentially a dense and layered tale.
With that said, I didn't really get attached to the characters and not certain I'll continue the series.

Rating: In the middle
