Review – Abyss TPB

Posted on May 16, 2011 by Brett

I’m new to Red 5 Comics, only have read one or two Atomic Robo comics before, and I’ll admit I was a bit apprehensive about Abyss when it came to my inbox. I first read the second volume (review later of the first three issues) but when I got the opportunity I devoured the first trade paperback, the series is awesome.

Comics are about escapism. You want cool powers, good buys beating up the bad guys and some times some humor thrown in. Abyss is one of those comics that at the same time takes super hero comics seriously and at the same time completely makes fun of them.

What if you found out your father was ABYSS, the world’s worst super-villain? Eric Hoffman inherited more than a billionaire fortune… he also got a killer robot, a plot to destroy San Francisco and an infamous legacy to live down. Join the dysfunctional comedy adventure from the warped mind of Kevin Rubio, creator of parody film web phenomenon “TROOPS” and the creative team behind comedy smash “Star Wars: Tag and Bink”.

The series is fun, tons of fun. The characters can get me to laugh and the action is fun. The art is top notch. It’s hard to describe it but the series just nails what comics are supposed to be about. It’s serious and goofy at the same time, just a great mix.

This is one of those series that you just can’t help but like. An absolute buy.
