Tin Man and his Rat

WELCOME TO ANOTHER SUPERNATURAL INVESTIGATION AT COMIC UNKNOWN



In the Victorian era of England, people were prone to the paranormal and supernatural. Tales are told by the locals of people disappearing without a trace. Could this be fiction to scare off the tourist? Whatever the case may be, this made clairvoyants more popular than ever and for some people, all they see is a quick payday. What would you do if you found a genuine psychic? Would you believe their stories or the fortune they hold for you? Cognition Issue Zero tells a series of stories following an unlikely duo, a human soul stuck in a metal armor and a demon possessed mouse. They work in an organization called B.O.S.S. (British Occult Secret Service) exclusively for the Queen, following any paranormal events affecting humans. These "agents" follow special cases no mortal human could follow because of their paranormal abilities. Nevertheless, they do take part in other ops from sting operations to find those con artist to even investigating the dimension between ours and the next. 

Cognition is a supernatural noir Ken Reynolds created and is a great original comic that has a fresh dark tone. What separates this comic from the others is the art style thanks to Sam Bentley. The monochromatic art style this comic offers sells the story to the readers on a whole different level. Apart from the dark and seductive stories, the protagonists take the spot light. Cal is the human soul trapped in metal armor who likes to do what is right while his demon possessed mouse Sigma is rather callous and do what is needed. These characters balance each other out with their different ideologies and can combine forces to become something greater than themselves. If you're a fan of the dark supernatural thriller, Cognition is definitely what you want to get your hands on. Cognition Issue One is currently on Kickstarter and successfully backed with 10 days to go! Make sure to follow Cognition and the creative team at their Facebook and Twitter!

Trapped

WELCOME BACK TO AN ENSNARING  REVIEW AT COMIC UNKNOWN!
Created and Written by Kevin Truglio
Artwork and Lettering by Przemyslaw R. Dedelis


Who is Dr. Wagner?
We dive back into Kevin Truglio's mind and venture into Chem 19 Issue Six: Trapped to see what happened to Dr. Wagner after the games. While being told to follow one of the cartel members for his "prize", Jason Wagner is double-crossed held captive by the cartel. Dr. Wagner is now trapped and being tortured for information. Concerned that Dr. Wagner is not who he says he is, the Cartel believes that someone has sent him, but who? With pressure and time running out, Dr. Wagner must figure out what he must do to escape, retrieve Chem 19, and head back to Vivian before her time expires or being seen by the persistent cops. Fortunately or maybe unfortunately, Donkey is persistent and will do anything to get inside  the building. Will Donkey successfully find the newly acquainted Dr or a secret stash of the infamous drug?

With time ticking and every possible setback interfering Dr. Wagner's plans, we wonder how Dr. Wagner will unravel all these issues and walk out with Chem 19. The intensity of the issue reminds readers why Dr. Wagner went back into the city.  Chem 19 Issue Six: Trapped leaves us in a cliffhanger wanting to grab Issue Seven even quicker just to see what happened. Chem 19 is a strong series that allows the reader to walk in a dystopian world and see the struggles one goes through to survive. Chem 19 is now available on Comixology at $0.99 as well as IndyPlanet for $0.99 digitally and $2.99 physically. Stay addicted to Chem 19 and follow it on Facebook to keep up to date with any news related to the destructive drug, Dr. Wagner, and company.

Die a Con Man or Live as a Mark

Comic Unknown and The Biggest Score
SCAM ISSUE 1
SCRIPT: Joe Mulvey 
ART: Joe Mulvey 
INKS: John Ercek and Jules Rivera 
COLORS: Andrew Crossley 
LETTERS: AndWorld Design 
COVER: Joe Mulvey and Andrew Crossley 
EDITORS: Tyler James and Steven Forbes


Welcome to the world of Scam, the story that resembles the Ocean's franchise which we see a team of con artists in Las Vegas with a long history together. The first issue starts out with a team pulling a last-minute heist until one of their own double-crosses them and the whole team is basically burned. Fast forward two years later and the team reunites to settle the score with their old friend Marcus who is now a major player in Vegas with high security. There were some incidents that occur along the way which leads to one of the team members "Doc" to be captured. Doc had the ability to remember everything he had experienced and is more elaborate than eidetic memory. Scam adds the superhuman or supernatural abilities into play. In this issue, we see a few of these gifts such as  extraordinarily resilience, invisibility and lastly the ability to see through solid matter. The majority of the team met at the rendezvous point and wasted no time in initiating the revenge plan against Marcus. With Doc being held hostage, the plan gives the team all the more reason to move forward. After using their powers to corner their mark, they actually confront Marcus. Will the team find their missing friend Doc? 

While it would be nice to have at least one of these powers in the real world, the roster of abilities are superb and the readers can expect more in the coming issues. First notable quality of the book is the artwork; SCAM's creative team did a splendid job fleshing out the pages. It's visually stunning and detailed to a point where you understand the situation at hand. The story is well done with enough minor plots to keep the reader guessing on who the players are and what they're scheming up. Overall it is an exceptional comic that keeps anyone entertained. Published through Comixtribe in 2012, SCAM Issue One is available in an Ultimate Collection Hard Cover Edition on Amazon and Comixtribe. If you want to check out Issue One exclusively plus four other Comixtribe comics, follow these easy steps here.
