Comic Review: Marbles the Cat

By Elizabeth Suggs

The comic Marbles the Cat by creator and writer Matthew Myers is a unique science fiction adventure that follows a rescue cat named Marbles in 2089. Marbles uses his evolved superpowers to battle robots at the dawn of an alien invasion. This futuristic setting and retro look was captured wonderfully by the very talented artists Scott and Gemma Macniven, along with colorist Chloe Milton.

I really like this not only for its vivid images and compelling story but also for what this comic stands for. Advocates for animals are showing a ton of support as a percentage of sales are donated to the Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Shelter and matched to the ASPCA to help cats in need. Not only that, but Myers had a successful crowdfunding campaign that allowed cat owners to see their pets in print and even star in future issues drew a lot of attention and interest.

If you’re an animal lover and you enjoy stories with a superhero edge, then I highly suggest this comic.

Hard copies are currently being printed and will be available to the public and retailers before the end of the year.
