Comic Unknown's Electrical Short Circuit

Let's face it, living paycheck by paycheck sucks. Trying to keep your head above water is just another hardship in life and Deven Dalton is one of those people who struggles to make ends meet. He moved to Bay City to make something of himself, but the economy tanked. Deven's unemployment benefits dried up and he's constantly moving from job to job. He is now a security guard and is requested to take a night shift for a private research facility but as luck would have it, a break in occurs and led him to the wrong place at the wrong time or maybe the right time. Sekuro Issue One is the origin story of the young hero. The story puts the reader into what exactly happens that changes his life forever. Besides the obvious new electrical abilities, what of kind of powers will Deven have? The creator Kevan Mills was the helm of this story as not only the creator but the writer, illustrator, and letterer, leaving inks and colors to t.I.K.i. 

Sekuro ended on a cliffhanger leaving us pondering on what may occur in the upcoming issues. Although few panels may feel like many things are happening at once, the comic has great potential. Confirmed heroes and villains are in the works and can be seen in trading card format via their Kickstarter, the world of Sekuro definitely seems to have established its ground work. Its striking art style combined with the vibrant colors on the pages makes this origin story issue stand out in the indie world. The creative team clearly created something spectacular and we expected that they have much more in store. Sekuro Issue #1 is  26 pages in full color and is available for purchase on ComiXology for $2.99. You can check out Sekuro's social media and support them on Facebook and Twitter.

WELCOME TO ANOTHER EXTERMINATING REVIEW AT COMIC UNKNOWN!

Variant Cover

Regular Cover

Ever wondered what would happen if an animal had the same intelligence and motor skills as a human out of the blue? Would they attempt to join our communities? What if they obtained this new found ability because they are actually possessed? How high of a chance would they attempt to slaughter us all? The Chinese believed that 2015 was the year of promise and prosperity but unfortunately they were wrong. 2015 is the year of the goat and that only means one thing, the Goatpocalypse! The Year of the Goat Issue One brings us to a world one wouldn't normally think of. An outbreak of possessed goats are roaming the Earth and their main objective is to kill, butcher, or destroy any human that crosses their path. Some believed that the outbreak began somewhere in the midwest while others thought it started in the northeast but one thing is certain, death will be inevitable. The simplest way to imagine this is to think of Dawn of the Dead but with demonic goats instead of the mindless zombies. 

Created by Tom Spellman, The Year of the Goat Issue one was a successfully funded Kickstarter back in 2015 (go figure). The comic puts the reader right into the action and does not hold back anything. The awesome art is done by Rafael Chrestani in which also does the pencils and inks. The uniqueness of this comic is that it is essentially a black and white comic but with red tone colors. The red tone colors, letters and cover colors is completed by John Rudwall. There is also a special variant cover that is available which is by the duo Fahriza Hamaputra and Verry Woong. All in all, Year of the Goat introduces us to a whole new can of worms, the world of the goatpocalypse! With this uprising, we eventually see a stranger walking into town as the end of the issue but who is he and how is he connected to the series. Year of the Goat Issue One can be purchased at Spellbound Comics Store for $5.00 (regular) or $10.00 (variant). Make sure to follow Year of the Goat on Facebook, Twitter, or you can sign up to their newsletter for all updates regarding Year of the Goat.

Pib's Magnificent Tour

 
WELCOME BACK TO ANOTHER HITCH-HIKING ADVENTURE WITH COMIC UNKNOWN!

Ever wanted to jump into a world that you thought up of in your mind? Imagine the details of this world or think how insane it would be if world you thought of developed on its own. In The Hitch-hiker, this is exactly what happens. We follow the hitchhiker into the world of the Biblobians, a small round blob race where their diet is eating flowers, entertainment is staring at antennas, and their sport is kicking a doll. This race takes pride in their cultures so make sure not to insult or belittle anything they do as you may be arrested with only one verdict: Death. The Hitch-Hiker attempts to convince Pib that he created his world with an interesting explanation and a few real world references. While attempting to convince Pib of his extravagant ability, the hitch-hiker manage to make a few comments that insulted the race's culture. Doing so, The Hitch-hiker and Pib are put between a rock and a hard place and have no where else to turn to but face the mortal consequence deemed by Biblobian Rule.


What can the Hitch-Hiker or Pib do to save themselves from this potential complication? The Hitch-hiker is a fascinating story that readers can absorb. Its simple and delightful art can easily be engaging and matches the pace of the story-telling. The Hitch-hiker was written by Aaron Kennedy and illustrated by Diana Marques. With enough momentum, Aaron's story can become a vast world of the impossible becoming reality. It's potential for growth can be limitless depending on how creative this hitch-hiker is. The Hitch-Hiker Issue One is a clever science fiction comic that is available at WP Comics Ltd both digital and physical copy. If you want to check out any other books from WP Comics Ltd, make sure to check out their site, Facebook and Twitter.

Perception of Time

Comic Unknown's Time Traveling Paradox

Comic Unknown would like to welcome back Adamant and its creative team to another great review. Adamant Issue 2 begins with a back story in Paris where Dr. Alpha is up to no good (as always). After a few punches, Adamant seems to have saved the day and put Dr. Alpha away. Unfortunately, nothing is what it seemed and what Adamant thought was a victory, might have been the seed to his eventual conundrum. Agitated, confused, and stuck in the future, Adamant is not having it with Dr. Alpha leading a rebellion. Considering the history between these polar opposites, one cannot blame Adamant's suspicion that this may be another ploy from Dr. Alpha. Adamant went on the offensive instead of listening to his old nemesis' story, but realized he doesn't have any ground on this unidentifiable world that he once protected and decided to listen to Alpha's proposal. Dr. Alpha needs his "old friend's" help to stop a bigger threat, a tyrant from destroying the world and nothing is what it seems in this world.

Will our hero remain adamant in this dystopian world long enough to return to his own time? Can he trust Dr. Alpha or is just a giant con? Adamant issue 2 is very similar to the previous issue: classic with a surprise ending, which seems to be a good theme for this comic. Nevertheless, kudos to Mike Exner III for this well-written story and for never disappointing thus far. Like the previous issue, Adamant has two artists: Ian Waryanto and Dann Franco. Ian Waryanto illustrated the future timeline and Dann Franco created the prologue or the past timeline. Franco's timeline uses a unique color scheme in contrast to the future timeline to convey the past instead of just using the text "The Past". Adamant #2 is wonderful superhero comic that can give the reader the pleasure of attempting to figure out what will happen on the next issue. Only time will tell what is true and what is not in this bleak future. Adamant Issue Two is via Comixology for $0.99, and don't forget to give them some support by following  Adamant's Twitter, Loophole Comic's Twitter & Facebook, and their official site.

Waiting for Nightfall

WELCOME BACK TO ANOTHER CHEMICALLY OFF BALANCED REVIEW AT COMIC UNKNOWN!

We return to the dystopian world plagued with an addictive but fatal drug known as Chem 19. In issue seven, we saw Dr. Wagner escape the cartel thanks to Donkey's help. Now both are hiding out in a dead addict's home trying to figure out how to get Dr. Wagner out of the city while smuggling out the lethal contraband. The cartel is now searching every nook and cranny for the duo so now Donkey and Dr. Wagner must wait until nightfall before anyone can even consider escaping out of the city. Things do begin to get heated up with Donkey as his addiction kicks in and forces Dr. Wagner to take certain actions. Time has passed by and Vivian still hasn't received a new dosage to keep her from dying. How much longer can she handle before the drug's deadly side effects kick in and finish her off? Dr. Wagner is facing a larger enemy than the cartel and its name is time. 

Chem 19 Issue Eight can leave the readers in a bit of a bind. As we eagerly want to see how the doctor can escape the city or accomplish any other feats that may cross in front of him, our main concern lies on Vivian and if she can survive until Dr. Wagner's return. In previous issues, we have seen people pass from not taking another dose within a few days and it seems that Vivian begins to creep up to that mark. Only time will tell on what the future may hold for the Wagner family and what new obstacles Dr. Wagner must face so he may return to his home. Chem 19 Issue Eight is an issue that one should not stop at if the opportunity is given to read the following issues.  Chem 19 Issue Eight is available in Comixology digitally for $0.99. Readers can also catch up by checking out Kevin Truglio's Taptastic for Chem 19! If you enjoy what you read please remember to always support the creators as this series wouldn't exist with out Kevin Truglio and P.R Dedelis. You can follow Chem 19 on their Facebook account for any updates on the dystopian civilization.

Hateful Interview

WELCOME TO ANOTHER EPIC INTERVIEW AT COMIC UNKNOWN!

We have the opportunity to have an interview with D.C. Johnson, the creator of The World Hates Jimmy!

Comic Unknown: What made you want to work in the comic book industry?   

D.C. Johnson: It started with a love for fighting game art to be honest. Y’know like Capcom and SNK type stuff? Around age fourteen I started trying to learn how they designed their characters, which got me into art. But eventually, it felt hollow creating my own characters and having no game to put them in, so I started reading comics–manga specifically. Mostly because it was stylistically similar to the designs found in fighting games, but also because you didn’t need an entire game studio to create a universe. Akira Toriyama’s work on Dragon Ball had the biggest impact on me and sealed my fate more or less.  

CU: How did you come up with the story line of The World Hates Jimmy?

DCJ: Really it’s just based on my life, but exaggerated and conveyed humorously. Long story short, I tried to make a go of comics for a while and couldn’t, so I gave up and got a “real” job at a corporate bank. Immediately into the gig, a crazy girl I didn’t want started harassing me, my boss decided she hated me, and I literally turned the whole place upside down unintentionally. It was a mess. So I quit/was chased out with pitchforks. I sat at home feeling sorry for myself while I put in for other gigs– again. But the fish weren’t biting. It was like the world had conspired to thwart me. And one night I thought to myself “Hey if all this was happening to anybody but me, it’d be pretty funny. Like if somebody was watching my life, Truman Show style, the ridiculousness of it all would keep them coming back for more!” And that was my hook; or at least, the hook behind the hook.   So yeah, it’s an exaggerated version of my existence, but truth be told, it’s a little scary how real some parts are. I’ve lived an odd life… 

CU: Were any of the characters inspired by another character or person?

DCJ: Jimmy himself, is inspired by me. He can’t win. He’s not allowed to. That’s how things felt for me around that time. It was all one big bummer. So I tried to create someone that’d react to stressors in a more entertaining way. And out crawled Jimmy. He’s optimistic, but not eternally so. However, he bounces back quickly. He’s simultaneously brave and cowardly. He can be a realist, but usually an idiot. And he’s undeniably the cause of some of his own problems. All traits one could ascribe to me. The only difference is, Jimmy doesn’t let it drag him down. He keeps moving forward, usually with a smile. And he heals up quick. Good as new even.   So as dorky as he is, Jimmy is the “me” I would like to be. He never gives up.

CU: How many issues do you have in mind for the series?

DCJ: I’ll keep going as long as they give me a soapbox to yell from.

CU: Will the comic's universe continue after the series?

DCJ: Maybe. I was just talking to my inker the other day about the possibility of spinoffs. I suppose if there was ever enough demand, or I got sufficiently bored of telling Jimmy stories, I might explore other avenues of his universe. But right now I’m having too much fun telling his tales.

CU: What was the most difficult part in the production of The World Hates Jimmy?

DCJ: My own ADD continues to be the unseen antagonist of this series. Time management and I aren’t particularly close buddies, and couple this with the fact that I’m a slow artist, writer, and a bit of a perfectionist, and it makes for a bumpy ride. But thankfully I have the most patient inker in the universe. Seriously, he put up with my crap back on our first series, and gave me a chance at redeeming myself on this one. And my editor caught on to my limitations fast, so she nudges me forward when It looks like I may get off schedule. Both are proactive in reining me in, and because of them, the production difficulties are starting to smooth out.

CU: Are you planning on any new series after The World Hates Jimmy?

DCJ: I mean, my brain never stops creating really. I’ve got 50 ideas bouncing around my head at any given time, but no, nothing in particular is planned for after Jimmy. Although it might be nice to take a break from drawing down the road, and try my hand at a writing only gig some day.

CU: Who is your favorite all time super hero/villain? Why?

DCJ: Batman is my favorite hero, and though I find him unnecessarily cruel these days, The Joker is probably my favorite villain. I think the depth and complexity of those two particular characters is boundless. And both can be a lot of fun if written correctly.

CU: What is the best way readers can find The World Hates Jimmy?

DCJ: At the moment, digital is the easiest way to get your hands on it (ha! Irony!). It’s available on DriveThruComics and the WP site. But it’s also coming to Comixology soon too, and the physical issues are slowly making their way out there via comic stores and Cons.   Plus we’re looking to get trades into bookstores within quarter one of next year. But digitals are available to all right now, and I really hope people give it a shot!

Jimmy Jones Vs the World

WELCOME BACK TO ANOTHER GREAT MISADVENTURE AT COMIC UNKNOWN!

We enter the realm of nineties cartoons, where Ren & Stimpy, Rocko's Modern Life, and Kablam! entertained living rooms for both adults and kids alike. The ridiculous stories or jokes behind these iconic shows could be the best comparables for our following review of The World Hates Jimmy. This comic series from WP Comics Ltd. consists of a creative team of D.C. Johnson (Writter/Pencils), Chris Allen (Inker, Colorist, Letterer) and Dustin Evans (Special Feature Panels and Cover Colors). Following the almost unfortunate yet comical life of Jimmy Jones, one can see that his life is reminiscent of Murphy's Law. Anything that can possibly go wrong for this animated character, will eventually kick, dog pile, bam, wham and even schlock him into the next panel. After seeing his girlfriend of mere minutes die via explosion by a crazy stalker, Jimmy must now live his life with his even newer stalker girlfriend or at least survive. 

The World Hates Jimmy presents readers a brief pause from all the super hero stories out there and gives them a flashback of crude humor cartoons. It lets the reader's inner child come out momentarily and truly enjoy the loony story of Jimmy and his mishap/misadventure. Chris Allen does a great job bringing Jimmy's extreme misfortune to life and one can only hope that their will be many more calamities that will occur to Jimmy. He clearly lives on the shorty end of the stick, but one character's misfortune is another's entertainment. The World Hates Jimmy is available on WP Comics Ltd as well as DriveThruComics.

Nightmare Interview

WELCOME BACK TO ANOTHER GREAT INTERVIEW AT COMIC UNKOWN!!!

We bring back Jeffrey Haas to the Comic Unknown fold to have an awesome interview about The Nightmare Patrol and himself. So sit back, relax and enjoy the interview!

Comic Unknown: What made you want to work in the comic industry?

Jeffrey Haas: I have loved comics since I was very young. My father was a big comics fan growing up, and he encouraged me to read comics when I grew up. One of my strongest memories as a child is helping my father price his collection and seeing all old and amazing looking covers. I guess that feeling never left me.

CU: How did you come up with the storyline for The Nightmare Patrol?

JH: Believe it or not, it came to me when reading a Wizard Price Guide Magazine. There was an April’s Fool issue where they announced a new comic where the old cereal monsters like Frankenberry and Count Chocula formed a super team. It turned out to be a spoof, but I saw the potential there. Later, I decided to work on The Nightmare Patrol with my father, Bruce Haas. We talked over the story and The Nightmare Patrol was born. The Golem was his idea.

CU: Were any of the characters inspired by another character or person?

JH: All the characters were inspired by the old Hammer Horror movie monsters. But if you look closely, you can see some inspirations to other characters. For instance, there is a little bit of Wolverine in Byron Poe (the werewolf).

CU: How many issues do you have in mind for the series?

JH: The first series will be a four issue run.

CU: Will the comic’s universe continue after the series?

JH: If all goes well, we are planning two more four issue series with these characters.

CU: What was the most difficult part in the production of The Nightmare Patrol?

JH: The biggest with creating this series is the same issue with creating any indie book- finding the finances to complete each issue. Keep in mind, the penciler, colorist, letterer, and printing all costs money. That is why I have a Kickstarter campaign set-up to help ease some of that burden.

CU: Are you planning on any new series after The Nightmare Patrol?

JH: Well, ideally, we will work on the next series of The Nightmare Patrol. I am also involved in two other series, but it’s too early to discuss them.

CU: Who is your favorite all-time superhero/villain? Why?

JH: I would have to go with Green Lantern.; specifically, Kyle Rayner. I really like the concept that you can do anything if you utilize your willpower. I also think that the concept of Green Lanterns allows for an endless scope of story possibilities. Stories can range from local/rogue gallery level villains to immense universe ending calamities and everything in between. My preference for Rayner is that, as a reader, you got to watch him grow into a superhero. He also always seemed to love being a Lantern, which couldn’t always be attributed to how Jordan was written. 

CU: What is the best way for readers to find The Nightmare Patrol?

JH: The easiest way is through Comixology. Slowly, The Nightmare Patrol is increasingly coming to a store near you.

CU: What other projects are you working on?

JH: I have been writing interviews for a website called Boroughcon.  My last few interviews have been with Dan Jurgens, Gerry Duggan, and Ray Fawkes. More on the way! I have also become the Public Relations Specialist for Boroughcon, and I am helping them put together their convention in Queens, New York.  The convention will be held during Memorial Day Weekend. We have already signed up several big name guests and tables for other artists to purchase will be made available shortly.

Universal Lore

WELCOME BACK TO ANOTHER GREAT ANTHOLOGY AT COMIC UNKNOWN!

Astral Crusaders

We return with a new anthology not previously seen here at Comic Unknown. Published by WP Comics Ltd., we introduce Tales from Orbit Issue One. Tales from Orbit is a bi-monthly series that showcases great indie creators and their work in the genre of science fiction and fantasy. Having a few familiar names in the list of creators for issue one immediately brings us in like a gravitational pull and we dive into the stories of Tales from Orbit. The issue starts off with Astral Crusaders. Written by Paul Bradford, art by William Allan Reyes, and colors/letters by Erik Korsgaard, Astral Crusaders puts us in the middle of the action where a squadron of the Vermillion Knights landed on the outskirts of the jungle for what seemed to be a simple mission. The Knight's day quickly turns sideways when their communications go down and all hell breaks loose. Astral Crusaders is a well developed six-page story that allows us to venture with these crusaders and gives the reader the opportunity to be entertained from start to finish. 

Conventions of the Gods

Astral Crusaders is followed by two stories with opposite art styles to one another: Conventions of the Gods and Copy. Conventions of the gods is a mildly silly story written by Jack Wallace, art by Gabe Ostley, and letters/colors by Chris Allen. As the title says, the story is literally a convention of gods showing their best "work" amongst each other and in front of a panel. Conventions of the Gods is short, sweet and funny. Copy uses its wits to tell the story about time. Written by Jorge Santos and art by Gabriela Torres, Copy tells the story of how a parent with a scientific background tries to figure out how to spend more time with his daughter. If goes unnoticed Copy might sneak by the reader even though it is a crafty story with a dark tone to it. 

With over ten stories and even a puzzle, Tales from Orbit Issue One packs a galactic punch. The titles in the anthology gives the reader a bit of everything related to cosmic comics and different art styles. including familiar names such as Lucasz Kowalczuk for the cover art and Andrew Pawley with his freaky series "GalaXafreaks". Tales from Orbit is a 72-page out of this world comic fiction that is now available in full color at WP Comics Ltd. Follow Tales from Orbit on Facebook for all the needs of science fiction and fantasy publication from creators all around the world!

Monster Squad

WELCOME BACK TO ANOTHER SUPERNATURAL LEAGUE AT COMIC UNKNOWN!

We love our fair share of horror and supernatural stories and we manage to find our next indie series that fit the category. Imagine Suicide Squad and League of Extraordinary Gentlemen being meshed together to give us what is called  The Nightmare Patrol. The Nightmare Patrol consists of the government calling upon supernatural beings to assist them in operations. The group consists of different beings each with their own terrors, strengths, and weaknesses. Most have their own hidden lives until summoned, these beings are the creatures seen in nightmares or monster movies. A werewolf, vampire, witch and a golem, the Nightmare Patrol have to work together and become a team. 

At first glance, one may not notice that these creatures live daily lives like any human and thus they have their own characteristics, hobbies, or traits. The geeky vampire, a metal head witch, and an intellectual yet rational werewolf can almost make a supernatural breakfast club. There is not much to say about the fourth member Golem, since there isn't much information on the creature. A military base called Pantheon Station has been attacked by what seems to be a legion of zombies and the soldiers are dropping like flies. A call goes through and the Nightmare Patrol members are summoned as reinforcements to take control of the situation. 

What will the Nightmare Patrol do and how efficiently can they work as a team on their first official mission? Who or what is involved in this outbreak? Created by a father and son duo: Jeff and Bruce Haas, The Nightmare Patrol has great potential. It will be a four issue mini-series but we can only hope this creative team will do it justice. The story they created has plenty of action but there are moments where the timeline may be confusing for some during the first read. Given the mythology of the creatures used in the story, we have a notation of what they can do. While we don't see too much in the first issue, one may hope to see what the Nightmare Patrol can do both alone and ultimately as a team. The visuals are superb thanks to JC (penciling) and Mae Hao (coloring) as they capture the expressions of the character's faces and the story perfectly. Follow The Nightmare Patrol team on Facebook and help them get this comic off the ground on their Kickstarter for a physical copy! Comixology also has the book available for immediate purchase for $2.99.

Gotta Keep Things Muddy

Comic Unknown's Rigid Tale

We welcome another super-heroic indie comic (un)known as the Adamant. This self-titled series follows the hero trapped in the future who must find his way back to his timeline. We follow Adamant as he literally crashes in on Dr. Alpha's evil plans in Geneva, Switzerland. Adamant swiftly defeats Alpha's robotic henchmen and then closes in to get the doctor himself. The classic super-hero defeats the villain is quickly cut short as Adamant has a miscalculation in which can destroy the whole base and everyone in it.  As a traditional superhero story, Adamant saves the day! He begins to contain the blast but then suddenly meets his supposed demise and is vaporized giving Dr. Alpha his villainous victory in the end. As most comic readers know, a superhero comic won't just kill off the hero especially not in the middle the first issue of a comic. The reader will begin to learn that Adamant was not vaporized but was just simply teleported to the future. Lost and confused he must find his way home, but how? 

Stated earlier, Adamant started as any superhero tale but with a surprise ending. Written by Mike Exner III who also co-created with Hany Khattab, Adamant is vaguely similar to Jack's situation from Samurai Jack. The great art styles of Adamant is the responsibility of two different artists.  Ian Waryanto was responsible for the first seven pages the story while D.C. Stuelpner drew up until page twenty. The change in art styles occur within the teleportation page and works very well. The future city landscape pages are very detailed oriented and enriches the storytelling since it is a change of time period. Overall the comic was splendid, an excellent read and can easily be picked up by anyone. Adamant Issue One is available via GumRoad or Comixology $0.99, or pay what you want on Sellfy.  While we love to support the indie creators, we also recommend to check out the web-series of the awesome story to get a quick taste which updates every Monday. You can check out their social media sites such as  Adamant's Twitter, Loophole Comic's Twitter & Facebook, and their official site.
