Gemini is a new comic published by Image Comics , the story resolves around Gemini a average guy with an avarage office job , until he gets a call and activates his super-self.
it begins with Gemini having a fight with some big bad super villains on rooftops taunting one eachother , after some while gets very pissed and charges at Gemini and because of bad guy’s age of ragings he forgets he’s still on rooftops and runs from the rooftop and crashes down while Gemini easily dodges his charge.
And this is when we meet the big brain behind the Gemini Project, a bunch of people all numbered instead of their names too keep the project super secret.
These people keep an eye on Gemini by watching everything he sees on a huge ass High Definition Screen, besides guiding Gemini they also serve as a crisis center , giving Gemini a call to arms when bad guys appear.
We also get to know the new employee, it’s her first day working for Gemini , she gets lectured right away because she arrived too late , a wonder she found it at all being it a secret stake-out and all.
Just right after she arrives she was just in time to start her first job task, guiding Gemini.
She equips the headset and calls Gemini, still a bit nervous and insecure of what to say.
Gemini affirms and deactivates his super hero outfit and heads back to his house while she tells him that all events happened this day will be forgotten the next day, because that’s what the Gemini Project is about, a secret superhero , so secret Gemini not even knows!
The next morning starts like any other day , going to his office job where he gets buggered by his cubical neighbor and colleague , Gemini not in the mood for jolly fun tells him to knock it off and continues with his work.
Somewhat later he and his colleague go out for a drink and Gemini gets told he isn’t the fun guy he used to be , not knowing what to do with it they let it at at and continue drinking and discussing other things.
However they get interrupted by a call to arms and Gemini says his colleague goodbye and runs off.
A known super villain team is causing havoc and currently already fighting the Gemini Project other superheroes members, they battle goes on for a while but Gemini and team manages to defeat he bad guys.
Deadweight a superhero girl with the powers to make everything 10 times as heavy engages a little conversation with Gemini and asks him out to have a drink someday, Gemini not really in the mood and not himself tells her a maybe and they separate.
He gets called to call it a day and head home but meanwhile he hears a woman scream in a nearby apartment building and dashes off, the crew clearly telling him it’s not authorized to act on random situations they try to convince him to not act but in feign he does, bashing through the walls and encounters a man threatening the lady to hit her.
Gemini grabs the man by his collar and tells him off and yells not to hurt him, however Gemini punches him across the room causing the lady to grab a shotgun and shoots Gemini’s head to smithereens.
And that’s where the first issue ends , in an plot twisting cliffhanger.
My Cut of Cheese
I really liked the first issue and the secret-secret parody take on the superhero thing and although the cover really doesn’t attracts it to read it the interior art is original and different than the other comics you’re used to. So if you’re into different art styles , Superhero secret identity’s with a parody twist and a good action and humor this is definitely the comic you’ve been waiting for!
