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.

TRAJECTORY

Comic Unknown returns to the world of Torchbearer as we jump into issue #3 with the aftermath of the nuclear bombing in Charthulla. To recap from issue #2: Prometheus bombed the planet Charthulla to wipe the rebels from existence. To prevent the government from destroying the planet the rebels had to steal data from the archives. With the help of their double agent, Selene it became possible. Unfortunately, after stealing the data it was too late. Now the rebels need to recuperate but they need something from Prometheus. Cayoti must find a way save those people who were hit by the nuclear explosion. However nuclear bombs are old tech in this setting and the rebels must infiltrate Prometheus once more to find the cure. Will the rebels obtain the information they're looking for and come out unscathed?

The creator/writer Nicolas Dedual did a fine job on this issue, especially with the timeline. The issue starts with fragments of the ending and builds it up. Dennis Calero's top-notch illustration matched Dedual's narrative; the art in this issue was clean and tangible. Currently, we don't know the major roles these characters play and what this war is all about. We still have a long way to go with a lot of story/issues to read in order to find out the end game. Nevertheless, each issue on its own is compelling and it gets us one step closer to the story's apex. Comixology has this issue for only 0.99 cents and to catch up on the series click here. Be sure to follow them on Facebook and their publisher Odd Truth to be kept up to date.

Psychic Street Fight

Action and Adrenaline 

Greetings, SFC Enthusiasts! Welcome back to another ground pound review at Comic Unknown! We have the privilege of returning to the world of Super Fighting Championship (SFC). Issue two puts us almost immediately into a telepathic match between two psychics, Psionica and the Manipulator followed by a match between The Ram (who controls a field of kinetic energy) and The Gentleman (who controls the powers of shadows). While some supers were actual heroes in the past, others had used their powers for their own benefit. With certain expectations on the line as one of the fighters plans on retiring, readers can enjoy the friendship these fighters have towards one another once they are out of the ring. SFC Issue Two continues with the action-packed pace and also gives the readers a more personal look at the characters. It fleshes out their unique personalities as they are hard at work trying to make their living. The issue also continues off with an SFC Secret file of the great Angelica Reigns as well as a continuation of the mini-series Titanium.

SFC Issue two continues with the same quality issue one provided and does not show any signs of slowing down. The story continues in its steady pace while delivering some excellent fighting exhibitions in between. Considering there are more enchanting or scientific battles in this issue, the art is able to use a nice variety of colors and effects to display things such as shadow powers and psychic abilities. The issue is definitely a fantastic read that only prompts eagerness for the next issue. While unavailable to the public yet, SFC Issue two will be on Kickstarter on October 23rd so make sure to follow their Facebook page to keep track of any updates and catch issue one as it is currently available on IndyPlanet for both print and digital and digitally on Gumroad.
