‘Action Double Feature’ Is Everything We Want In Digital Comics [Review] This [month] saw the release of Action Double Feature #1, and it’s one
of the most exciting comics I’ve read in a long time. Released digitally
through a dedicated iPad app and a downloadable PDF by Four Star
Studios, ADF is a showcase for its creators to take risks with brand
new concepts and characters, and as the name suggests, it’s split be-
tween two short stories: Jack Kraken, by Hack/Slash’s Tim Seeley
and Ross Campbell, and The Answer by Dennis Hopeless and Mike
Norton, the current artist of DC’s Young Justice.
But it's not just that it's a pair of solid adventure stories by some
fairly well-known creators that makes it so exciting, although it's
certainly got that going for it. What hooked me, though, was that
it reads like someone found a list of everything I want
in a digital comic and did it.
