Underneath his boot is a Locust Drone’s and in the background we see Anya, Prescott and Dom. Holding the Gears of War signature weapon the lancer. Marcus the main character is sitting proud and center in the cover. The cover really jumps out at you for a first issue even it if it a little standard. The artwork for this book is really amazing even for the time due to DC preparing for the New 52 reboot and there best artist working on re imaging their triple A brands.
Even I had to go back and reread and think about certain events again so if you are not somewhat familiar with Gears of War and Gears of War 2 you might want to plays those games and read this comic afterwards. These comics do take the liberty of stretching out the events though this issue because the characters are fighting ground battles against the Locust as well as Dom, Baird and Marcus leaving the Raven to help some civilians leaving out important things that take place at the start of Jacinto’s Remnant so it gives people a chance to still read the books and get the whole pictur e. The problem though I see from this book is that to a regular comic reader or someone who knows nothing about Gears of War would not be able to pick up this issue and get an understanding of practically anything it hardly addressed characters, roles and really just goes hand in hand with people who have played Gears of War 2 and want more. You also were able to get into their head and witness the secrets they hold. You get a chance to see what they are doing up to the evacuation leading them to Port Farralas. This story is told much like the books and does not follow a singular character but multiple from Marucs, Dom, Anya, Baird, Prescott and Hoffman. Part One takes place seconds before the end of Gears of War 2 with Marucs blowing up the Lambent Brumak and how everyone must evacuate the sinking city of Jacinto.
The comic series was written by Karen Traviss who wrote all of the current Gears of War novels as well as wrote Gears of War 3. Dirty little Secrets was a six issue mini series that was a soft reboot for the Gears of War comics as well as tie in for Gears of War 3 to help fill in the gaps for people who have not had a chance to read the books or people who read the books to get more of an understanding as well as an in-depth understanding of the one year after the C.O.G collapsed and it put the books into comic forms with a little extra filling in the mystery of stuff that was hinted at in the books but never was expanded until Gears of War 3.
