Desolation Day

DISEMBOWLED EARTH


An unknown pathogen was unleashed to the world. Governments crumble, society collapsed and military powerhouses were wiped out. This biological attack selectively aimed for all males, causing an unforeseen destruction that spread in less than 24 hours. Comic Unknown enters the world of Under the Flesh. Hunkered down in a library made of brick and high windows, a small group of survivors is carefully treading through this outbreak.  Within the group is a man named Ruben, a Lieutenant that was undergoing nanobot experimentation that fights viruses, boost strength, and enhances cognition. Fortunately for him, this experiment is what allows him to survive the infection even after being bitten. What will this group experience and what decisions must they have in order to survive. 

Under The Flesh issue one is the source of a nail and flesh biting series. It is the comic equivalence to Dawn of the Dead's mall, except in a library. The issue begins to develop the characters as they are introduced and carefully show the reader their features or traits. Written and created by Gilbert Deltrez, the narrative is excellently written as it intensifies the reader's imagination to the character's situation and places the reader peering out the library's window and gawking out in this zombie-filled environment. The art, done by J. L. Giles, clearly shows the disorder in this newly unwanted life as it crawls and climbs out of the pages. The colors compliment the story's outbreak as it adds the weight to all of this chaos. UTF is an awesome zombie comic that is full of action. Under The Flesh issue one was successfully Kickstarted back on August 3, 2014 and is currently available for $0.99 on Comixology. To become a flesher fan be sure to check out UTF on Facebook and Twitter.

Hell Hound

The Fur Ball and his Rustbucket

Comic Unknown would like to welcome back the team behind the Victorian thriller comic Cognition with their latest issue. Legend tells a tale of a demon dog that plagues anyone in its path. The locals call it the Black Shuck and those who have seen the beast will be cursed with extreme poor luck. Cognition issue two follows the B.O.S.S. team as they investigate certain unfortunate events in the countryside of England to confirm the legend's authenticity. During their travels, Sigma plays a little mind game with Hattie insisting he wants to get know the team better. By diving into her memories both Cal and Sigma learn about her melancholy past and how she became a member of B.O.S.S. After gathering further intel at a saloon they begin their investigation. Unfortunately, the hunters became the hunted when the beast found them first. Will the B.O.S.S. team come out of this unscathed or did they bite off more than they can chew? 

Issue #2 of Cognition contains the same content format as the previous issue: one major story followed by a bonus one. The narrative doesn't waste any quality as it is on an equal level with the last issue with a dark entity disturbing the locals and the team must lay it to rest. There is a very much deserved admiration for Ken Reynolds for crafting this brilliant story which is easy to follow and well balanced. This issue really centers on Cal and Sigma's limitations and how they must be in close proximity to be at their full potential. The art by Sam Bentley is what distinguishes this comic from any other. Dark art styles and great use of shadows follow suit with the comic's grim Victorian setting. One minor concern is in certain scenes where the characters and the background are tricky to distinguish but it is hardly to note about. All in all the comic bold and beautiful. The same goes for the bonus story where a clairvoyant named Martha, struggles to find the moral gray area in line of work. Cognition #2 has been successfully backed on Kickstarter and can always use new supporters. Don't forget to follow them on their Facebook and Twitter if you haven't already.

Lone Hunter

Witch's Nightmare

Welcome back to another feudal review at Comic Unknown. We enter the world where witches slither the seas and blackened trees. Where they roam over hill, under stone, crossroad, castle or even your comfy home. We enter the world of Kittarou Witch Hunter! Created by Blake Clouser, the self-titled series follows a rogue witch hunter wandering into a small town that is plagued by a witch that killed a woman and hung her as a scarecrow. Kittarou begins to investigate the occurrence and tries to fit together the pieces of this dark puzzle. He has a reaver with the soul of a witch named Toge to help assist his progress. Traps and false leads do not deter this witch hunter as he fights, slices and dices, and sets forth with skill and some humor as he traverses through the town to find the truth. This unique duo has hidden tricks and talents that make them a tough adversary. 

A masterless Witch Hunter is called a Rohantanin


As a protagonist, Kittarou is a Rohantanin that is not too serious but when in action, he knows exactly what he is doing. The Kittarou creative team also includes Felix Novara: Pencils and Designer, Mekenzie Martin: Colors, Kierston Van De Kraats: Ink Wash Shades, and James PeƱafiel: Flats. Blake Clouser and his team manages to have the art style match perfectly and fits the action and genre of the story. Kittarou Witch Hunter is easily an addictive and entertaining story that has action and a little comedy too. Its art is that of professionals and Kittarou Witch Hunter is an awesome webcomic that is consistently updated on their site or Taptastic. It is currently on page 53, so there already is a great amount of content already available. While available for free, readers can support this awesome creator via Patreon or Paypal. We expect to see the story grow with more back story of Kittarou and Toge throughout the series. Make sure to check out this series' social media on Facebook and Twitter.

Hidden Guardian

THE STUFFED BEAST



Welcome to a special MegaCon Orlando 2017 comic review. We had the pleasure to meet with writer Richard Rivera at Artist Alley as we stumbled onto his work: Stabbity Bunny. We had the opportunity to check out issue one and the quality is extraordinary. The story follows a second grader on a school field trip named Grace. Her day, unfortunately, changes to the worse as she is abducted by a stranger and is ransomed. If her mother does not obey the instructions exactly, Grace may pay for the consequences. Unluckily for Larry Greene the abductor, Grace has her stuffed bunny Stabbity with her and Larry has no idea what is about to happen to him. Mystical/ dark forces surround Stabbity as he animates and retaliates against Larry. One thing leads to another and Larry Greene is no longer an issue. As Grace's mother finds Grace safe and sound, Stabbity is back in Grace's arms as if nothing as occured.

Larry Greene
Stabbity Bunny Issue One is very enticing and exciting as pages were flipped continuously from cover to cover. The dark details and clean art combined with the rhyming narrative adds a creepy tone throughout the comic as the reader experiences Grace's misadventure. The art by Dwayne Biddix and Liezl Buenaventura grabs the readers immediately as the comic shows the character's emotions and vividly comes to life as if it is an animated film. Considering this is simply the first issue, there are many questions that come to mind (such as the mysterious glyphs that appear on the knife). Stabbity Bunny is a mysterious force to be reckoned with and should not be taken for granted. We would like to learn more about the characters as the series continue especially the origin of Stabbity. Stabbity Bunny Issue one was successfully Kickstarted July 2nd, 2015 and is now available at the Stabbity Bunny Site. To follow any updates on Stabbity and company, readers can check our their Facebook page and Twitter.
