Dr. Mag Traumer is a devoted scientist, who spends the vast majority of her time working away like a mad woman in her lab. It has all paid off however, as she has finally proven that her invention can save millions of dollars, be widely accessible to all hospitals and is bound to save countless lives. Her devotion however came at a cost, with a broken marriage and divorce papers still awaiting her final signature, Dr Traumer is unexpectedly hit with a sudden case of reality when her boss unjustly finishes her contract thus locking her out of her lab and all her hard work. Now she stands in a bar, telling everyone her story and downing liquor at a worrying rate. To the point that she awakens in the back seat of her car, a stranger at the wheel and suddenly on a European road trip. Just how does this story connect together, I guess only Issue 2 will have to clue us in.<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
From the same creator of \u2018Alice in Leatherland\u2019, Iolanda Zanfardino returns with a brand new series. \u2018A Thing Called Truth\u2019 is their latest comic title, this time being published by the people over at Image Comics. This five issue mini series has already been quoted as being \u2018a chaotic LGBTQ+ road trip\u2019. Having only read Issue One thus far, I can see where they are coming from. We follow a woman by the name of Dr. Mag Traumer, a scientist working for Doppel Krzuz Pharma. Having just completed numerous tests on her latest ground breaking project, she goes home knowing that her invention will have a positive impact on the world of medicine. However, as you expected, she gets dismissed from her job and all her work is kept by her employer under the rules of her contract. Mag soon ends up in a bar, drinking her sorrows away. The fact that she blacks out in her car, only to awaken to a stranger driving in a very unfamiliar environment.<\/span><\/p>\nSo thus far we have met Mag, seen how she was wronged by her employer, her work stolen and now struggling to deal with it all. Her new \u2018chauffeur\u2019 however is still a mystery, but she appears brave to the point of idiotic, having jumped in someones car and taken off. Her reaction to finding the owner of said car in the back seat, suggests this girl really does not give two shits. And then ending the issue with the fact they are now on an unexplained road trip across Europe? Just where did they begin from and what on Earth is about to happen next?! I can not see how this is going to turn into a sudden romance.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
According to the author, \u2018A Thing Called Truth\u2019 is set to be a high energy road trip adventure mini series, where the characters go on a soul searching journey so they can discover the ideal balance between devoting themselves fully to work, whilst still enjoying life to the fullest. Something that Mag is in desperate need of learning, after her failed marriage and sudden job loss. The artwork for this series is being provided by Elisa Romboli, who has also worked on \u2018Alice in Leatherland\u2019 and \u2018Destiny, NY\u2019. Both of which I have done reviews of in the past. You can see the similar artstyle between all three titles, and with both Elisa and Iolanda having worked together in the past, this is sure to be an interesting series nonetheless. It is also supportive of the LGBTQ+ community, as we are supposed to see some kind of love interest dynamic evolving between our two female lead characters in the coming issues.<\/span><\/p>\n\u2018A Thing Called Truth\u2019 #1 will be available to buy today in your local comic book store, or indeed online from the publishers - Image Comics. It was quite an interesting first issue, one that certainly needs more explanation. However it is still worth picking up, especially if you enjoyed Iolanda\u2019s previous published works.<\/span><\/p>\n\u2018A Thing Called Truth\u2019 #2 is set to be released on December 8th.<\/span><\/p>\nOverall:<\/strong> 7\/10<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n","post_title":"A Thing Called Truth #1 Review","post_excerpt":"Five issue mini series","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"a-thing-called-truth-1-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-10-08 20:59:36","post_modified_gmt":"2022-10-08 19:59:36","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=207161","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":206869,"post_author":"5","post_date":"2021-09-06 15:31:58","post_date_gmt":"2021-09-06 14:31:58","post_content":"

Alice is struggling to find where she belongs, not just in the big city of San Francisco but also as a newly single woman, looking to find love once more. All the while, her former book illustrator Robin is confident in her ability to hook up with anyone. However she is adamant to never get involved in a committed relationship. Through various encounters, failed dates and some self discovery - can these two fireflies find someone that will make them glow again? <\/em><\/span>From the creative team of Iolanda Zanfardino and Elisa Romboli, comes Alice in Leatherland!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
This was such a sweet and kinky fairytale-esque series that follows a woman named Alice as she takes one giant leap into the Wondrous Land of San Francisco! Now far from her home in Yosemite, Alice is now in the big city. Full of people with big personalities, a daunting dating scene, an expensive living situation and her chance to fully accept and explore her own sexual journey. With plenty of LGBTQ+ people living in San Fran, it\u2019s a wide dating pool out there to explore. With a helping hand and some guidance from her new housemates, Alice eventually just dives right in. All the while struggling with a writer's block on her current book, one that will inevitably reflect her own experiences in SF.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Then we have her illustrator Robin, a woman that avoids commitment, is out there to satisfy herself and who also has a strict set of rules when it comes to hooking up. Although the pair have known one another for some time now, starting back in Yosemite. They have never hooked up, it\u2019s when they both move and go their separate ways in San Fran do the two start to fall for one another. As though fate and the city are pulling them together. It\u2019s through seeing how Alice begins to evolve in the big city, through her new job, attitude, dating profile and sexy new look - does it hit Robin that she will do anything now to be her Prince Charming. Robin goes through her own metamorphosis, most of which is mentally as she reflects on her lifestyle and commitment choices.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Having found the time to sit down and work on a comic book mini series together at long last, they created this diverse, modern romantic comedy that is bound to make a splash in the comic book industry. \u2018Alice in Leatherland\u2019 is being published by Black Mask Studios, the Los Angeles based indie publishing company. Who has previously published the following acclaimed titles; Calexit, Black, 4 Kids Walk Into A Bank, Loud, and Destiny, NY.
