Here is our first review, from
Ain't it cool news!"It’s been a while since I’ve read a story about an honest to gosh newbie super hero cutting his teeth and learning the ropes. This is one of those stories.
Sure, Turbulence isn’t a super hero name that’ll strike fear in the hearts of villains and readers alike, but that’s kind of the point here. Writer Chris Garrett illustrates pretty well how tough it is be a hero and even make a proper entrance of a super hero. New territory isn’t blazed with this book, but it is a fun ride.
The internal criticism and low self esteem was somewhat refreshing to read since most mainstream heroes are either winking at the reader or sneering at him for liking comics in the first place. The straight forward approach to TURBULENCE is fun and worth checking out."
We have our second review from
Broken Frontier! -Warning it has spoilers for issue 1! -
Posting some of the highlights below!
"What makes this book a bit different, even a bit special, are the unfortunate circumstances that surround the comic’s main character and namesake: Jacob Warrenford, a.k.a. Turbulence.
This rogue teen once grew up as a docile lay-about that would snooze wherever he wanted, whenever he wanted. It wasn’t until tragedy struck his pilot father that Jacob was shaken awake to realize life was something he had to take a hold of for himself. This isn’t an Uncle Ben copout; the beginning pages that reveal the main character’s origins are my favorite in the book."
Here is a review from Steven at
Small Press Comics!
""Like I mentioned earlier, this idea has seen thousands of iterations, so new books really have to have something unique about them to keep my interest. I think the omnipotent stranger may very well do that for this title, and I’m very interested in seeing where this plot-thread goes. He seems to have created all of these superheroes for his own reasons, and simply desires to see what happens when people are driven by different urges. This could lead to some rather interesting stories if that is the way the team plans to take the book."

I'm more than a little thrilled to announce that Turbulence™ now has a fancy website.
www.turbulencecomic.snappages.com
Real domain name on the way!
With Turbulence issue 1 now having a release date (December 30th 2009! www.indycomicbookweek.com for more info) things are going great, the coloring and lettering is just about done then it's off to the printer!
Issue 2 is going smoothly as well with a decent chunk of the pencils being completed and almost ready for inking.
So this post is to just give you an idea of where everything is at, and to say thank you.
-Thank you for those that supported me on everything, my comic, this website, anything.
-Thank you for listening to me talk about the same comic book character for 4 hours straight only to bring the topic up again an hour later.
-Thank you for submitting your fan art to a comic that hasn't even been released, it makes me feel great that people enjoy the concepts even and gives me great hope that you will enjoy their stories as well.
-Thank you for visiting my website.
I appreciate all of you,
-Chris Garrett
