The Shepherd #1: An Indie Series Returns With a Big Spark of Potential
✖
The Shepherd: Apokatastasis #1 begins with a bang. Though around for a few years now, the title from writers and co-creators Andrea Lorenzo Molinari and Roberto Xavier Molinari has found new life at Scout Comics and the effort to republish it has brought with it new stories. This first issue not only starts the original story, which we’ll get into below, but offers a look at the larger premiere of the series that first issues typically don’t provide. That window of “Here’s the larger premise” does a better job of selling the idea though and makes its new life under Scout even more exciting, which makes its later story something of a disappointment.
