FOREWORD -- A decidedly non-superhero "team book," Cellies is the
fun and briskly paced story of six employees of a mobile phone
retail store. Led by their gung-ho but slightly dim manager,
Christian, the Jog Mobile crew attempt to manage their personal
lives alongside their work commitments, which include dealing with
difficult customers and managing the midnight launch of a new
phone. Cellies collects the first five issues of Lion Forge's comic
book series, whose central characters represent a variety of
ethnicities, backgrounds, and personalities, providing fertile
ground for story development. In a minor but inspired ongoing
feature, the book offers short vignettes inspired by true-life
retail experiences. In total, Cellies feels like a successful
ensemble TV sitcom, and the book ends with a cliffhanger of sorts,
as Reyhaab, a teenager from a strict religious family, faces
punishment from her parents for lying to them, and Christian
suffers from the effects of an overlong tanning session. Flood's
clean, confident art style and practiced narrative abilities
balance propelling the plot and delivering humor, while also
choosing appropriate moments to hint at what's underneath the
sometimes shallow exteriors of his characters; one gets the
impression that there are plenty of stories left for Flood to tell
in Cellies: Volume Two and beyond.
