I was handed a big pile of comics. "These are all obscure stuff we
picked up at the comic con, read it, enjoy." So I greedily picked
one that looked interesting, and found out that it came with a
price! I had to give a short review. So, I promptly switched with
AJ, and came out with the double feature of Galahad and American
Wasteland, by Empire Comix.
Galahad was the side with the logo, so bravely I started with it. It
looked neat on the cover, a knight with a sword slashing through
the page. That was the best part. I will sum it up in a single
sentence. Small but powerful hero defeats evil scientist in big
robot thing. Well, they did a lot with five pages. Still, if they end
up taking themselves seriously, I dont think its worth the time to
read it. Im not even sure if they could make a parody work, that
plot type is even overused by people making fun of it. The art was
real simple, the story was simple, and the font was cool. That is, I
want their letterer to write a font for my computer. Preferably now.
Then I will forgive them.
American Wasteland was interesting. It was a full three pages and
composed kind of background into the story. Ok, so it depicts a
post-apocalyptic future, Earth mostly destroyed by some sort of
virus. Thats kind of overused. The artwork was rough, it reminded
me of the artwork for the Palladium TMNT stuff. I felt drawn to it. If
you want my opinion, and it doesnt matter if you dont because
youve already read most of it, I say check it out. The story has
some hidden potential, the art does too. I liked the cover. They
didnt pay me to write this, but Ill gladly write more good things
about them if they do.
