Review: The Gravediggers Union #1
Deadly Class co-creator Wes Craig launches a new series with art by rising star Toby Cypress! The supernatural world has gone crazy! The apocalypse is coming, and only the Gravediggers Union can stop it! How? Well, first their leader Cole has to find his estranged daughter. But is she the one behind the apocalypse? Wild comedic horror with steroid zombies, monster gods, swamp vampires, ghost storms, and space monkeys! OVERSIZED FIRST ISSUE
Crazy is more than likely an understatement, with The Gravediggers Union #1. Writer Wes Craig starts things off with a confusing but intriguing first few pages, before things shift to a modern setting. The debut issue shows a world that’s falling apart at the seams, as supernatural events become increasingly dangerous and frequent. A talking zombie shares a cryptic hint forcing us to question what’s presented and what’s causing these events.
The art style by Toby Cypress and Niko Guardia changes styles as the issue progresses. The issue presents two distinctive art styles from both artists involved. One shows off the darker side of the world while the other shows the everyday lives of those who fight against the supernatural threat to Earth. It’s an interesting way to really emphasize things and does so through the art style.
