Just Brutal #1 is a high-energy new comic from Ignition Press, written by Dennis Hopeless with art by Brahm Revel and colors by Marissa Louise.
The series follows the Savage family — a pair of teenage twins struggling through their parents’ divorce — who discover that Mom and Dad are actually ancient barbarian warriors tasked with stopping a returning evil sorcerer and his monstrous army. What follows is a fast, funny, action-packed road trip to stop a full-on magical apocalypse.
In this review, I talk about:
• Why Just Brutal is such a strong debut
• Dennis Hopeless’ approach to family dynamics
• The kinetic, frenetic art style by Brahm Revel
• How the book balances trauma, humor, and action
• Why this series is just pure fun
If you’re looking for a new indie comic with energy, heart, and chaos, Just Brutal is worth checking out.
