Fear the Nightmare
Welcome back to another tormenting review at Comic Unknown. We return to the supernatural world of The Nightmare Patrol. The story behind issue two guides the readers through two origin stories that were left out from the previous issue: The Golem. and Night Corpse. Originally as the protector of the Jews in the 16th century, The Golem was put into a sleep and was not reactivated until the present time. The Golem assists The Nightmare Patrol by smashing and plowing through a mindless legion as they attempt to enter the Pantheon Fortress. Having the team regroup and The Golem on their side, the group barrels through and traps the legion so they can enter the stronghold. As the audience takes a sneak peek into what led Melvin to his vampiric conversion and becomes the Night Corpse, the encounter between the group and the army of legion only intensifies. Even though Night Corpse can be absolutely silly at certain points, he definitely shows his loyalty to the group and becomes an asset to the team as he flies through the legion.
The Nightmare Patrol issue two gives the reader an additional layer of who the characters are. The story continues to build and develop the characters as they are still in a heated battle with the legion from the previous issue. The art puts the story together from cover to cover as Frankie B. Washington fleshes out the pages bringing this monster comic to life and Mae Hao perfecting it by giving the true colors to the story. Just like the previous issue, the letterer Zen does not skip a beat on the details. All in all, issue two stand up right next to the first issue as the monster squad continues their mission assigned. While The Nightmare Patrol Issue Two is currently unavailable on Comixology, readers can have their local store contact Jeff Haas to stock their local comic store at vectorcomics@aol.com or follow The Nightmare Patrol on Facebook for any updates.

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.
