Cherub Union for the Preservation of Intimacy, Devotion and Sensuality

Welcome To Another Secret Mission of Comic Unknown

C.U.P.I.D.S #1 The Death of Venus

Artemis Gray

This week's op is about an organization who brings people together by shooting their chemically engineered arrows in close proximity to their targets so they may fall in love with each other to ensure a better future. This organization is called Cherub Union for the Preservation of Intimacy, Devotion and Sensuality or C.U.P.I.D.S. for short. Intel suggests this agency goes back to ancient Greek where an agent shot Helen, Zeus' daughter, and Menelaus, an exiled prince, to assist in the formation of the Renaissance era. In other words, C.U.P.I.D.S. had a major role in the Trojan War.

The Engineer

Our person-of-interest is agent Artemis Gray and judging from we've seen she's very resourceful and competent to get the job done. We follow her in a mission to get a bank robber and his arresting officer to fall in love to reduce crime for the next decade.  What's intriguing are the chemically enhanced arrows, once hit by one, the agent has a limited window before shooting the second target and the time frame varies on the target's biology. We quickly gathered Intel that they have a new antagonist known as The Engineer. After C.U.P.I.D.S. recent mission involving him stealing a priceless painting, he displayed the painting somewhere the agency can find and was scribbled in blood of two of his victims.

C.U.P.I.D.S. #1 The Death of Venus consists of the following creative team: Charlie McCarrick (Creator/Writer), Carlos Gomez (Illustrator), Francisco Gomez (Colorist), Albert Deschesne (Letterer). This creative team deserves much credit for creating such an appealing comic. It is a great sstory in which will keep the reader entertained as well as involved with the CUPIDS. Its a fun read having a story which uses Greek history as its foundation. The artwork is superb and issue #1 gave enough information to invest the readers towards the characters and the story to future issues. Issue One is available digitally at Comixology for $0.99 linked here..

Chem 19 Issue 3: Kill 'Em All

With the restart of the blog we have managed to find new books to mention or review, but we have not gone over any of previously mentioned books until today. We welcome back to the line up Chem 19. Created/written by Kevin Truglio and illustrated/lettered by Przemyslaw R. Dedelis, we left off at issue two where we find out that Vivian has taken the drug and now requires to constantly take Chem 19 to live. Chem 19's issue three shows Dr. Jason Wagner in a predicament with the local law enforcement as they have received a tip that Dr. Wagner is definitely hiding someone or something in his home. 

Dr. Wagner is in a state of mind in which he is willing to do anything to anyone to protect his secret, even if it means to kill the officers. The book has its intense moments throughout these full black and white pages of content and does not stop making us feel anxious to find out what happens next. The storyline progresses in a  steady pace but keeps our eyes locked into the pages wondering how far deep of a whole Dr. Wagner is falling into. He must figure out his next 10 steps and make his plans bulletproof. We are not surprised with the quality in the writing and art nor do we expect anything less in the upcoming issues. Comic Unknown has a special place for Chem 19 and always hyped to see a new issue to review. Chem 19 # 3 Kill 'Em All is available for digital download for $0.99 at Drivethru Comics or Comixology. If you like a physical copy of the issue head to IndyPlanet for $2.99.

Mischief and Mayhem

WELCOME TO ANOTHER MYSTICAL CHAPTER OF COMIC UNKNOWN

We're sure we were all asked at some point in our lives: What super power would you have and how would you use it? And some of you will use it for the greater good, right? Today we introduce, Ethan Kocak's Black Mudpuppy and his comic is different and refreshing. Xolotl, the Aztec god is seen using his powers for his self-interest and mischief. Confronted by Quezalcoatl, Xolotl is imprisoned in the body of an Axolotl (salamander). After 500 years of his imprisonment, Quezalcoatl gives Xolotl a chance of redemption: his powers return bit by bit for every good deed he performs. 

Any good health insurance?

The book is actually the first three stories from Kocak's webcomic series with minimal variances (The Obligatory Origin Story, The Invisible Deaf Mute, and Hitlersaurus). It also includes a few short stories and a stetchbook of his early work. Xolotl fights evil where ever he goes, and like life, it doesn't always go according to plan. Although the novel contains only three major stories, it sure is sweet. It's a simple comic relief on what we all want to do if we had super powers. Besides this book, Kocak many more stories following the Black Mudpuppy such as Doctor Hypochondria, Psychopomp & Circumstance, and many more. 

If you're looking for a fun and unusual comic, start with this one. Ethan Kocak writes, draws, interpretive dances and otherwise creates The Black Mudpuppy entirely out of pixels and spite. He cannot be filmed and is invisible to owls. If you’d like to read more comics, buy official Mudpuppy merchandise or yell at him on the internet, go to: www.blackmudpuppy.com.
