Follow the Lore
Welcome back to another insane review at Comic Unknown. We enter the world of Snarl, the investigative comic following both Detective Bevil and a series of mysterious murders. According to witnesses, the murders always involved wolf attack or sightings at Olympia National Park with giant claw marks on the victims. Rumors began to spread of a werewolf being the perpetrator and the bosses from the precinct want the case closed before this murderous fairy tale gets any worse. Detective Bevil is not the type to believe in the supernatural and believes that everything can be explained once the reasoning is discovered. However, the case has been open for some time and Bevil has been following the everything by the book with no major leads. Bevil begins to think outside the box to search for some answers. Will the public be indulged with their killer mystical creature or will the detective find his practical answer and declare it animal attacks?
Nathan Kelly and Kelly Bender both created this dark thriller comic with a hint of Native American lore. Having the creative teamwork of Bender as the writer and Kelly as the artist/ inker, the story is well made keeping the readers guessing as the plot thickens. The Native American element is something new and used very subtlety feeding into the werewolf mythology. The bold artwork done by Nathan Kelly intensifies as Josh Jensen colors the pages, making the narrative effective with its dark and vivid use of shadows and colors. The lettering done by Micah Myers adds that extra layer to the story and amplifies the frightful story we know as Snarl. The gruesome scenes glow in a glorious fashion as the readers bite into the comic. Overall, Snarl is a very captivating comic that doesn't use the average mythology as it's foundation. Snarl Issue One can be purchased on either Comixology or at Insane Comics.
