Sane or Insane

WELCOME TO ANOTHER AWESOME CATALYST AT COMIC UNKNOWN!!!

We welcome a book that has been a bit different than the rest we have reviewed. Imagine twelve criminal contractors unknown to each other stumble onto one of the biggest jobs they have ever seen. Their final payday seems to be right around the corner, but does it seem too good to be true? We enter the amazing world of Sane6 where the writing, art, color, and lettering is done by Rob Cannon. Published through Rats and Crows Publishing, Sane6 was a successful Kickstarter back in February 20, 2016 and holds nothing back. As mentioned earlier, Sane 6 puts us in the middle of what a few had considered their highest paying job ever. As the story unravels, the crazy contractors begin to face some dangerous consequences and utilize their wittiness.

Sane6 puts the reader in an interesting situation where even we read the book more than once because of how good the story is. Giving the book one read does not give it enough justice to enjoy and fully immerse oneself into the story and art. Unlike most books out there, Sane6 #1 Catalyst  does not require direct clean art to get its message across, in fact, the story benefits from it. Rob Cannon successfully achieved a book where having this form of art compliments the story in such a way that one will submerge themselves into the story and wont return until the book is closed. Sane6 catalyst also includes a prequel to the story known as Sane6 Wreckage. The world is full of horrible little devils, and Sane6 allows the reader to let those little devils run around for our entertainment. Sane6 #1: Catalyst can be purchased either printed or digitally for the reduced prices of $7.19 and $4.49 respectively at Rats & Crows or at Comixology at $4.99. Make sure to follow Sane6 on Facebook to keep yourself up to date with any news including the upcoming release of Sane6 #2 Aquisition.

WELCOME TO ANOTHER EXPERIMENTAL ANTHOLOGY AT COMIC UNKNOWN

Here at Comic Unknown we have reviewed many different narratives, from a scientist searching for a drug to save his daughter to a post apocalyptic zombie world that still manages to run a proper civilization. We now have an unique opportunity to talk a bit about Sliced Quarterly #1, an experimental anthology that shows the audience ordinary stories in extraordinary ways. SQ #1 consists on nine different stories varying in style and one may even recognize a few creators. We will be reviewing a few of the stories that popped out for us from Sliced Quarterly #1.

Sliced Quarterly #1 starts off with Meta Affliction by the creator of SQ himself, Ken Reynolds. Meta Affliction is beyond clever showing us a character playing video games (alone) and the narrator is pointing out how it is essentially depressing. The character notices the narrator's words on the panels and we can safely say that the character tries to fight back and make the narrator leave her alone. The silliness behind this short story beyond amusing for us seeing how the character breaks the fourth wall and retaliates against the narrator. 

All of the stories have something to make themselves unique as well as having something great to point out. Halfway through the book we find a story most had heard but have never seen. All Along the Watchtower is scripted by Chris Redfern, art by Dave Snell and letters by Ken Reynolds. If you cannot guess by now, the story is based on a song by one of the most influential electric guitarists: Jimi Hendrix. The story felt more like an awesome singalong with stunning colors that did not disappoint. 

Sliced Quarterly is clearly the successful experiment that the world must see. We also have Geophagy by Stewart Moore, Ontologue by Rob Cannon, Spotlight on Installation by Ben Peter Johnson,  The Elevations & Depressions of a Local Radio Presenter by Bee Bop, Szlam/Slime by Lukasz Kowalczuk (HEY! He created Vreckless Vrestlers), Pulse by Scott Melrose and Tony Suleri, and The Body Bag by Chris Sides and Denis Vermesse. Tell us what you think about these stories by viewing or downloading the comic at their main page.
