Oliver 2019 is an incredible comic series published by Image Comics that reimagines Charles Dickens' classic novel, Oliver Twist, in a dark and gritty new way. Written by Gary Whitta and illustrated by Darick Robertson, this series takes readers on a thrilling journey through a twisted version of Victorian England, where supernatural forces are at work and the line between good and evil is blurred.
The story follows Oliver, a young boy who has been raised in a workhouse and forced to beg on the streets to survive. But when he is kidnapped by a mysterious organization known as the Dodger's Syndicate, he discovers that he is not who he thought he was. He is actually the son of a powerful mage, and he has the ability to wield magic himself.
As Oliver begins to uncover the secrets of his past and his newfound powers, he becomes embroiled in a dangerous game of politics and intrigue, with various factions vying for his allegiance and his magic. But as he struggles to find his place in this world, he also faces threats from supernatural creatures that lurk in the shadows.
The art in this series is absolutely stunning, with Robertson's illustrations capturing the grit and darkness of Victorian London while also bringing a sense of magic and wonder to the story. The character designs are particularly impressive, with each character having a unique look and personality that sets them apart.
