Review: Hail Hydra #1

Posted on by

Hail_Hydra_1_CoverPeace Through Strength! Honor Through Obedience! Continuance Through Conformity! Hail Hydra! Immortal Hydra! We shall never be destroyed! Cut off one limb, and two shall take its place! We serve none but the Master—as the world shall soon serve us! It is a beautiful Utopia that Hydra has created. But when a lone figure from outside the Regime appears, could his very presence be enough to bring this perfect society to its ruin?

Remember Ian? That’d be Steve Rogers/Captain America’s adopted son from Dimension Z who was going by Nomad before Secret Wars hit. If you really like that character, then this series is for you.

Writer Rick Remender handles writing duty giving us a trippy story of Ian being dumped in a world where Hydra rules, and he isn’t quite sure what the hell is going on. It’s a cool beginning of a story of a character with sort of amnesia on the run, and also trying to do some good. It’s a decent action story of someone on the run. The amnesia aspect is a little weird, but as more issues come out, hopefully that’ll clear up.

The art is mixed. Roland Boschi does some fantastic fight scenes and some cool things with panels. But, some of the character design is meh (the Hydra police designs is straight from The Fifth Element), and just generally the art is inconsistent. The panel where a certain Hydra Agent is addressed, *cough* Ward *cough*, is an example of where the art trips up. It’s not bad, just doesn’t fit the solid story.

The issue is good, as can be expected from Remender. He tends to deliver when it comes to the story. The art is a bit of a drag at times, which is a shame. One of the better Secret Wars debut issues being released this week.

Glory to the Hydra Empire! Hail Hydra #1 Takes to the Warzones! This July!

Peace through strength! Honor through obedience! Continuance through conformity! Rick Remender and Roland Boschi bring you the new Hydra – stronger, better, superior. It’s coming this July in the pages of Hail Hydra #1 – a new Secret Wars series! Hail Hydra! Glorious and immortal Hydra! We shall never be destroyed! Cut off one head – two more shall take its place!

It is a beautiful Utopia that Hydra has created. But it is tarnished. One from outside the regime has appeared, sullying it’s beautiful landscape. He is Ian Rogers, son of Captain America, and the man called Nomad. Could his presence be enough to bring this perfect society to utter ruin? We serve none but the Master – and the world shall soon serve us. But first – we must eradicate Ian Rogers!

In an interview with Marvel.com, Remender said:

This is what we’ve seen in All-New Captain America taken to its logical but exponential conclusion. This is an opportunity to explore a world where Hydra got a head start and insinuated itself into the United States much earlier. This is a world run by Hydra, a fascist dystopia…a police state.

Can one man survive the onslaught of an entire country dominated by Hydra? Can he survive the rage of Eddie Brock and the rest of Hydra’s top assassins? He is a man without a world. No hope, no backup and no escape! Hydra will prevail. Hydra will perservere. Glory to the regime this July!
