This isn't the normal story line that perks my interest. However, when Sea Lions asked me review the comic I thought I would give it ago. And I was pleasantly suprised that I actually found it enjoyable. 

Pariah is set in the year 2025 and follows the story of Brent. Brent want to be normal teenager but he isn't. He is a vitros. Someone who is extremely intelligent above the norm. After a very serious incident the goverment claim that all Vitros are terrorists and soon Brent in a whole heap of trouble.


Usually this would be something I wouldn't normally read. The story line isn't one that I though would hold my interest. However, when I started reading I found it quite good. Brent comes across as someone who is very vunerable, he just wants to get by day by day and be a normal kid. Sadly, he can't. You really feel for him and I think that what draws me to the character. 




As this is Issue #1 it a good set up to the series and follow Brent going from trying to be a normal kid to having his world blow apart. I don't want to give anything away. But I will say that the ending is very exciting and I am looking forward to start Issue #2 in the next couple of days.
