Broken Moon: Legends of the Deep #4

The great C’thulhu has returned to poison the world. But what kind of war can Korbin and his friends make against madness?

The solution may just lie with a small coven of vampires, who have gone into hiding since the destruction of Vampire City. Marzia, their leader, still scarred from the previous battle, is not keen on working with humans and werewolves — until she witnesses firsthand what effect C’thulhu has on the vampires’ prey… and the results are not pretty.

Thus a reluctant alliance is formed in this new issue of BROKEN MOON: LEGENDS OF THE DEEP, a watery post-apocalypse created by Philip Kim (MONSTER WORLD), written by Ben Meares (HELLRAISER), and illustrated by the amazing Nat Jones (’68).

The ocean holds many secrets… and in the post-apocalypse, they’re coming into the open! First gill men, then the demented creatures known as “Tok-tok”… and now, David, Avery, and Keeney — survivors of the attack on Vampire City — have come bearing tales of mysterious “Depth Dwellers” who speak of an ancient god.

A sudden explosion has sent Korbin and To’klace’s group of gill men scattering for cover, and the culprit is none other than Lorren! But even the crazed gang leader is given pause when something enormous rises from the water, bringing truth to the legends and madness to all living things.

Don’t miss the newest installment of the hit series created by Philip Kim and written by Ben Meares, with moody artwork by Nat Jones.

The first arc of BROKEN MOON brought werewolves, vampires, and Frankenstein legend into the same ruined universe… and teased the existence of another, lesser-known classic monster: the gill man! Now with LEGENDS OF THE DEEP, creator Philip Kim and writer Ben Meares (HELLRAISER) have brought the gill men and their world to the forefront of a new tale, and original series artist Nat Jones is along for the ride!

Following a barely staved-off kraken attack, a score of gill men have appeared at the edge of Korben’s tiny fishing village in now-waterlogged Nebraska. What could the creatures possibly want from humans?

Broken Moon #3

Story: Steve Niles

In dire need of an army, werewolves and humans searched for Frankenstein—and found him… in a city alongside scores of other patchwork people he’s sewn up along the way. But this mad, broken doctor is only interested in experimenting—quite possibly on Rantz’s and Avery’s friends—and it will take a dangerous journey to the Vampire City to convince him that the destruction of the world is at hand.

Review: Broken Moon #1

Broken Moon #1 coverAfter explosions on the moon cause the earth’s tides to wipe out most of humanity and civilization, monsters of legend rise to take their place. Broken Moon opens in a massive city of vampires who have taken to polluting the skies to block out the danger of the sun. A human spy, Avery, escapes the city with valuable information about the vampires’ plans and reconvenes with her small tribe—few of whom escape with their lives following a confrontation between the vampires and a pack of werewolves.

Steve Niles and vampires, go together like peanut butter and jelly. In contrast to his other his other well known works 30 days of Night, this book has werewolves as well. While the vampires in this may have a heavy a more thought out system of ruling their cities. Using humans more like cattle, and factory workers than just slaughtering them like madman. However, there is some human resistance who live outside of the vampire cities. Even the werewolves have various stages of their change. Which defiantly works with the story, giving the story a classical blend of monsters.

The art by Nat Jones is dark, yet realistic. For the most part there is very little use of color. Most of the world is done as various shades of black, and grey with only a little red and oranges. However there is some demonstrations of color as the story progresses. It injects some color into a very dark world. The series begins a bit more colorful, with those reds and oranges, but progresses to a gray color palette, playing more with the idea that humans literally break the moon, hence the title Broken Moon.

This is a new take on the classic monsters we all grew up with.
