A lair for criminals on the run from the law, Eden, Wyoming is a town like few other. It has just gotten a new arrival: Thornton, a bald headed American terrorist who needs to lay low for awhile. He is welcomed there by Laura Shiffron, Eden's tough, no-nonsense "you belong to me" chain-smoking mayor. Meanwhile, an undercover agent by the name of James Miller goes undercover in hopes of dragging Thornton out of Eden and into the hands of the law by any means necessary.
Writers Matt Hawkins and Bryan Hill's story is quite intriguing, and manages to introduce several characters which appear to be fascinating. Their Eden is a utopia for the shady and the corrupt, a perfect nest for those not wanting to be seen or heard. Consequently, the artwork by Atilio Rojo (covers by Rahsan Ekedal & Linda Sejic) is rich and detailed, and his characters are distinguishable, conveying several different emotions (especially Jimmy's girlfriend, Samantha; her frustration can not only be seen, but also felt).
Eden's Fall #1 is an original and exciting intro into this agent-infiltriating-criminal underworld story, on par with TV shows such as 24 movies like The Departed. This paradise-of-the-wicked is a good place for Thornton and his ilk, and also for readers looking for a new thrilling comic.
