This issue has 3 stories in it. The first comes from a message board where
a group of people provided one word to continue the story. As a result
the story is all wonky and makes no sense. Tod does his best to illustrate
this story and uses both drawing and special effects. In a black and white
comic these effects don't come out so great, but they are something
interesting to look at.
The second story involves a man dying in a restaurant and 4 waitresses
freak out about what to do. The story has an unexpected ending. The art
looks like it should have been done in color because everything just
kinda blends in.
The final story is called the Babysitter. Not much imagination being used
here. A boy says there are monsters in his room, and guess what? The
babysitter finds some. Blacks are used a bit better for this story and
panel flow is good.
Over all the writing tries to be funny and aimed at kids, but I didn't see
much humor in it. Nonetheless, I encourage them to keep trying. It's the
best "free from the con" indy effort I've seen since last yearÂ’s San Diego.
I give them 3 out of 5 stars.
Regards,
Jamie Coville
