Nevera Tales

Into the Abyss with Comic Unknown

We will spare you the fine details of Nevera Tales as mortals have a limited time for tales as we would not want someone to expire before we are done recounting this review. Nevera Tales is a story of Aston, a captured vampire who patiently waits and plays the long game to find his way to escape. His captors chained him enough to maneuver tools and put an iron mask on his face leaving nothing but a hole in front of his eye for him to navigate through. The iron mask is to prevent him from drinking blood but he can survive without it for a long time and he wasn't alone however, he was surrounded by other undead beings. Zombies, ghouls, and vampires, all constricted in a similar fashion. Now a slave deep underground how long will he have to wait until he finds his opportunity to escape?


This sublime, and rich narrative belongs to Daniel Bishop. Nevera Tales expresses its story in a nontraditional way for a comic book. Instead of having the dialogue within the panels, the narrative is done through a monologue that outlines the amazing art. It takes a small moment to grow accustomed to the layout, but it works very well both with and without the audiobook they have available. The ambiance of the audio file easily sells the story and having such a. The background noise immerses you in that dark atmosphere in which the vampire is in, I highly recommend it. The melancholy but spot on illustration was done by Marek Joracki. His dark, alluring art style gives Bishop's story life and I hope to expect more from the duo. It is a surprise how low their Kickstarter reached considering the talent that is behind such a beautifully crafted book. Follow them on their social media accounts such as Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and Instagram which contains loads of information about Nevera Tales. Nevera Tales is available for purchase at Tiger Crab Studios both physically and digitally for $5.00 or the digital copy for a $1.00 in English or German or on Amazon.

Galactic Rangers

The Enigma of Comic Unknown

In the future, humans have achieved to reach across the galaxy. Utilizing a transporter called Proterra aka the info-world, anyone can travel across the galaxy instantaneously. Such power can be very seductive and must be protected from those who wish to use this technology for their own gain. Proterra is now protected by the league known as Mercury with officers known as easily as the Mercs. In the issue, five of these Mercs were deployed for a rescue mission and to neutralize the threat known as Horus. The soldiers had the upper hand by combining their powers  up until something suddenly goes wrong causing the armor that protects the Mercs to disappear. Not only did Horus escaped but the hostages didn't make it.  After grieving for their lose, Mercury started an investigation on the anomaly before the matter worsens and before more lives are taken. However, investigating this egnima didn't go as planned. Will Mercury solve this mysterious glitch before it's too late? 


Phaeton Proterra was created, written, and illustrated by Maria Lansuta. She does a splendid job catching the reader's attention considering it is merely the first issue. Her sci-fi comic is fast paced and shows great potential with many possible scenarios for upcoming issues. Lansuta does a marvelous job harmonizing her storytelling with her expressive art. Leaving some questions unanswered, the narrative is smooth and comprehensible. Phaeton Proterra, combined with its impressive illustrations and alluring narrative can be supported by  purchasing a physical copy at WP Comics or Amazon or digitally at the WP Comics Digital Store.

Cock with the Glock

WELCOME BACK TO ANOTHER COOPED UP REVIEW AT COMIC UNKNOWN!



Imagine a gritty world of violence, language, and walking talking chickens (yes, chickens). We enter the world of BulletProof Chicken or BPC for short. BPC follows two buddy cop chickens to their last bust.  BP and Ed goes in, guns blazing as if they are in a Hotline Miami game to save BP's wife Lisa and take out the Cluck Twins, leaders of the lizard gang. They find themselves in Harold's Shack, a fast food joint and all hell breaks loose. Bullets fly and the two cops push through the reptilian menaces to find BP's wife with an amputated leg. The anger and revenge gets to BP's head and confronts the mob boss and fights to the death. Ed retires two days later and eventually finds love with the newly widowed Lilly. Eight years pass by and all of a sudden the Lizard mob begin to drop like flies. Wishful thinking from the police department that BP is alive, Ed is still a bit skeptical on who is causing these murders. 

BPC Issue One continues through the rest of the issue to be a hand grenade of violence, vulgar language, and hilarity for the readers. Published by King Bone Press, BPC Issue One was created by Jon Westhoff and Bobgar Ornelas. The issue can be enjoyed by chicks and reader alike stuffed with action and fowl language. Written and lettered by Jon Westhoff, the story easily has a mind of its own with its over the top mindless violence and fun. Bobgar Ornelas and Mat Nixon both provide the art for the story and it perfectly brings the story to life as their art flawlessly shifts between the pages. David Halvorson is the colorist of the issue and  is the person that puts the final touches to make this comic stand out from other comics out there. This creative team easily entertains the reader the way they should be: blood, gore, profanity and chicken. You can purchase Bulletproof Chicken Issue One in print for $2.00 or digitally for $1.00. Bulletproof Chicken will also be available as a trade paperback in an ongoing Kickstarter created by King Bone Press. Make sure to follow King Bone Press on Facebook and have fun tweeting Jon Westoff and Bobgar Ornelas with some chicken puns.
