She’s easily a very likable person, but you don’t want to get on her bad side. We get some fun little banters with her and other characters we meet throughout this first issue. Abbott is obviously someone who loves her work and has a great snarky attitude to go along with her personality. She’s not afraid to call out anyone regardless of who they are and because of her work, she has gained respect among her community bringing attention to cases that would normally just get swept under the rug or taken in a wrong direction from other publications. I love how passive aggressive she is to other reporters when she is introduced in the beginning of the issue. More importantly, Abbott is someone that doesn’t take anyone’s crap without fighting back. Even though she has many enemies just because of whom she is, she still has plenty of support from other workers in her field along with her boss. So you can already get an idea of the kind of challenges Abbott has to face during these times. It’s set in the early 70’s in Detroit, Michigan and Abbott is an African-American female reporter. I say the best feeling you can have when you start something completely new is how quickly you begin to get attached to the main character of the story and that’s exactly what happened with me while reading Abbott #1. Abbott is one that I wasn’t aware of coming out and didn’t even really know the premise of this new comic. I’m always excited when I get a chance to check out a brand new series.
