Zack actually picked this up when we went to the comic
shop because he thought that the cover looked cool.
He read it and handed it to me, telling me that I
needed to read this. Having finished reading, it I
can definitely see why he thought I should read it.
Set in 2162 Los Angeles Hip Flask a refreshingly
different view of the future and a new look at the
whole anthropomorphic detective story. The
anthropomorphic characters in this comic are the
survivors of a genetic engineering experiments. The
characters were rehabilitated by the UN Intel
Taskforce and granted rights by the Elephant Man Laws.
They are more commonly known as Unhumans or
Elephantmen.
In this issue a car crashes through a building across
the street from a time experiment, sending Hip Flask
to go investigate it. The evil scientist, who created
the Elephantmen, believes that there is someone out to
release him from his prison and a gang war is erupting
between Obadiah Horn and Baron Serengheti.
Overall it is a very cool book, with very good plot.
The art is phenomenal. The textures of the skin of
the people and the Elephantmen are just stunning to
look at. It's definitely worth the investment. If
