That cover doesn’t make much sense, until you get into the issue. Then you realize the whole “vampire pose” thing is spot on.

The M.O. with Public Domain seems to be understated drama. The fate of the world isn’t on the line. But there are dramatic stakes. And in this issue, we feel the weight of those stakes. I’m not sure I expected to feel that way at the outset of this book. In that sense, you might call Public Domain an overachiever.

In this issue a debt collector teams with a heavy named Biscuits. I love that.

Public Domain continues to interest me, in that it’s a comic book about a comic book creator. As such, it’s unlike any other comic book on the market right now. Thus far, it’s essentially a book where normal people talk to each other about this abstract thing: The rights to comic book characters. Zdarsky has to create drama using images and ideas that aren’t very dramatic.

And yet, by the end of this issue, he’s got me hooked in and intrigued to see where he’s going next.

Public Domain is a true anomaly among its peers, and I can’t look away.

I’m curious to see how Public Domain sells as we move past this first issue. There are no otherwordly elements, and hardly any punching or violence. Thus far, it’s a story about a comic book creator owning the rights to a big screen superhero he created. That kind of thing is interesting to a comic book geek like me. But to the general public? Maybe. Maybe not…

Either way, Public Domain is very well written and drawn by Chip Zdarsky. It’s very much worth your time. I’m just curious to see how many readers will actually give it their time.
