Review Overview

The creative team behind Flawed #1 don’t beat around the bush with the flawed judicial system and corruption featured in their debut issue at Image Comics.

Flawed #1 was written by Chuck Brown (Bitter Root) with illustrations and cover by Prenzy (On The Stump) and lettering by Becca Carey.

Ultra-violent, high-octane limited series that’s Frasier meets The Punisher!

Gem Ezz is a psychiatrist in the Kafkaesque city of Setham, where corruption and brutality rule the streets. By day, she uses words to solve her patients’ problems. By night, she takes a more direct-and sometimes deadly-approach. But when her practice puts her in the sights of an immortal serial killer, Gem finds herself embroiled in a power struggle that threatens everything she’s ever known.

Blood, gore, guts, and ultra-violent. That is the simple description for the debut issue of Flawed. However, it is much more than that. The deep dive into flaws in our judicial system especially to the poor and people of color adds so much depth and meaning to the comic book.

Prenzy’s outstanding illustrations gives an animated feel to the violence to give you a less jarring experience to allow you to read with out having to turn away. The art style adds perfectly to the script by Brown.

This is one of the better books we have read at Capes and Tights over the past few months and is well worth the pick-up at your local comic book shop. Keep an eye out for the second issue in this series coming on October 26, 2022.
