Enchanted Death

Comic Unknown's Epidemic 

The Black Death was one of the most devastating pandemics to date killing a fraction of the human population on earth. Taking place in the mid-1300s, Europe was facing their greatest hardship and the plague showed no signs of stopping. People were finding their ways of coping either by punishing themselves for defying God or punishing each other. One way or another, people were being buried and numbers were dwindling. The outbreak wasn't only affecting humans but something more enchanted. The Aos Si ('ay-oss shee'), fairy-like beings who possess magical powers are too fading from the world. The prince of the Aos Si, Twylyth Tegg just lost his father to the disease and is now the newly appointed king. Shortly after his father's death, Tegg sets out to find and protect any and all of his people both from the plague and humans. This leads the readers to Danann an English fairy who wants to give humans the benefit of a doubt. She wants to believe the tales told by her godmother how humans long ago were peaceful and endearing. To her dismay,  her home is being annihilated and her friends and family slaughtered by Jean De Moray and his wolves. Danann barely escapes and is injured.

Only with a cloak she found on the muddy floor, she hides her wings from any mortal to see. Weak and helpless as she is, Danann falls in front of a young friar who lost his faith during the Black Death. King Tegg and Warbishop Moray are on the trail of Danann but will one of them find her first or will the friar find out who Danann really is? Plague #1 is a fantastic and well-written narrative thanks to the writing duo of Dennis MaGee Fallon and Jason Palmatier. The well-executed characters and back stories give the series the forward momentum into something that can be magnificent and enjoyable. Zach Brunner runs the visual aspect of the show as the Penciler, Inker, Colorist as well as a creator. His work is spot on as the story progresses and brings the series to life. The artwork  and lettering(done by Dave Sharpe) flows through the story smoothly and provides amazing content on every page. Plague shows a promising and refreshing take for most audiences as it is uses Irish folklore. The Plague issue One is readily available on Comixology for $1.99 and worth the read.

Riding Boots

Good Knight

Comic Unknown re-enters the world of Rapid-Eye as we connect into the wave link of Issue Two. We follow CIA Operative Eddie Phillips as he begins to seek help for his recent interactions with those using the Access Trance Machine. With almost nowhere else to hide or find help, he locates Dr. Ella Krupke in hopes to find a solution to his problems. Rapid Eye Issue Two follows its predecessor and becomes the must-read of the stack. In a world where someone can kill you in your dreams, where can one be truly safe? Eddie's debacle continues to haunt him as he is clearly a target by the same agency he works for. How far will they be willing to go to reach him and permanently make him quiet? 

Issue two's creativity and design of the story holds no bounds and lets any idea run free and go into full gear. Its complimentary art style stays true to its readers and does not dwindle away its quality. Rapid Eye Issue Two was successfully funded on Kickstarter on August 27, 2017, and created by Bobby Torres with Anthony Rodriguez and Bobby as the writers, Rowel Roque as the Artist, Ronson Edulan as the Colorist, Dave Sharpe as the Letterer/Designer and both Jack Garcia and Jason Bennett as the Editors. While Issue Two is not yet available for pre-order, check out Tenacious Comics' page to pick up a copy of Issue One.

Dark Side of the Moon

Two Sides to Every Coin

Comic Unknown would like to introduce the retro styled, Lord of the Cosmos. Set on a world called Aiden, the citizens use the power of the planet to fuel their machines. Society has created what they believe is utopia by combining their knowledge of magic and technology. As the natives achieve peace and prosperity throughout the majority of the planet, their ignorance is both their joy and potential demise. While the people of Aiden completely disregard the waste they leave behind as they live in their castles. The dark side of their utopia begins to creep up with those who were exiled from the promised land known as the Disciples of Umex in the outer lands and slums. There are many whispers about Umex's origin but was all pedestrian until now that has awakened from his long slumber and is ready to claim Aiden as his own. He calls upon the help of his underlings to wreak havoc across the planet. Will Umex wish come to pass or will his it be nothing but a dream?

Using what they know and love from the 80's Dennis Fallon, Jason Lenox, and Jason Palmatier forged Lord of the Cosmos. The essence of the first issue suggests that there's always a dark side, a consequence of every action people take even if they're unaware of it. Lenox created the concept and penciled the comic but Fallon and Palmatier brought this to life. The story is extraordinary in all the right ways and leaves the readers wanting more. The characters themselves were beautifully designed by all three of theses artist and each has their own history which can be seen in the issue. The illustration is brilliant and the black and white color scheme is very old school. This art style is seen throughout all the stories and it serves well. Lord of the Cosmos is elegant, immense and fantastic. It was fully funded on Kickstarter on September 26, 2016, but it never hurts to get more supporters. Lord of the Cosmos is available for $7 (including shipping) at Jason Lenox's site as well as on Comixology for $1.99. Readers can follow Jason Lenox on Facebook, Twitter, Ugli Studios site or his site for any updates in regards to Lord of the Cosmos or any other books he is working on.

Thirteenth Painted Courier

WELCOME BACK TO YET ANOTHER STORY OF THE COMIC UNKNOWN ANTHOLOGY

This week's anthology of reviews is from none other than Ugli Studios. 

Ugli Studios #2 starts off with a bang with a story from the fictitious Wild West named “The Painted Ladies of San Quentin”. The story stars Elijah Holman, a pastor turned gun-toting vigilante who’s on the run from assassins after his head for witnessing a land grab with a few more casualties than he should have seen. That’s the gist of it without spoiling much more if it, but I quite like it. It’s a story that’s a throwback to old pulp stories of yore and has an array of colorful characters that have a Tarantino-esque feel to them. The story is presented with gratuitous amounts of stylized violence and ends as fast as it starts.

The next story, “The Courier” slaps you in the face by dropping us in the middle of a chase scene between a man with an ancient relic and alien insects. The story, while short, has a satisfying end that leaves you wondering asking questions like, how did this chase start? Who’s this man? And what of the ominous ending? “The Courier” has potential for growth considering the cliffhanger that was left for us to ponder on.

The final story titled “Thirteen” that starts the story of a g-man looking figure who’s made clones and is presenting his latest “brother” named “Thirteen” and things go south fast. Without spoiling anything, I can say the art is fantastic, it has the visual styling that oozes Sin City. Unfortunately the story is even briefer than the other two. “Thirteen” looks fantastic, stylized art that just pops out and grabs your attention. The story however seems to just end so abruptly it leaves you thirsting for more but it seems the story ties itself up and leaves you out to dry.

Ugli Studios #2 seems like a great smorgasbord of potentially greater stories if they were to be fleshed out as standalones because it’s such a shame that they ended so fast. Ugli Studios Presents Volume 2 is a full color comic with some great pin-ups, and is available with autograph andshipping included for $7 or digital copy for $2.99
