Themes

As in the novel, many of the themes in Adobe Kroger: Dame Commander will revolve around the effects of abuse and addiction, as well as the importance of strong and present fathers.

Reception

Reception for Issue 1 was generally positive, with most reviews praising Leandro Panganiban's art, the action, and that the protagonist was relatable due to her vulnerability. There was a general consensus that the cliffhanger left the story feeling too short, and Dan promised more content and a deeper dive into Adobe's character in issue 2.
