WEDDING

“Shotgun Wedding” is a new mini-series from the Top Cow branch of Image Comics, released on a weekly basis through the month of April 2014. Part of me thinks that it’s a fun way to spotlight William Harms and Edward Pun’s comic, keeping the pace moving rapidly. But at the same time, I also can’t help but think that the weekly release might lessen the chance that readers will drop out, because based on the first issue, this all feels very familiar. “Shotgun Wedding” #1 isn’t a bad concept, with Mike’s ex-fiancee Chloe left at the altar four years earlier and tracking him down for revenge. With Mike and Chloe both assassins, though, this is anything but a stern word being planned. And all the while, Mike’s new fiancee Denise is oblivious to the anger of a woman scorned coming zooming in her direction. The problem is that for now, “Shotgun Wedding” #1 appears to be riding solely on the concept. None of the characters particularly stand out as interesting or more than two-dimensional at
