Review: Hoax Hunters Vol. 2 #1

Hoax Hunters #1 coverWith the Hoax Hunters team in shambles following Jack’s untimely departure, they head to Paris under Donovan’s controversial leadership. Don’t miss this landmark issue, as the series reaches a crucial turning point on and off of the page!

Hoax Hunters is an original series created by Michael Moreci and Steve Seeley, and features art by Christian Dibari, it used to be at Image, but now more appropriately is being published by Heavy Metal. Nothing is lost in the switch, and the series is as fun and entertaining as the first volume, picking up where it left off, but also being perfect for new readers to check out.

Multiple volumes for series is not a new thing, but since the series follows a team of reality ghost/monster hunting stars the fact it’s back for a new season feels so appropriate.

I liked the first volume, to me it was a solid mix of spoofing the reality shows out there, especially ghost related ones, while at the same time mixing in a good X-Files vibe and monster of the week mentality. The fact it balances the two is impressive, and not easy to do.

Back with its second season, the series has a team that’s not quite together and stumbling quite a bit. The fact things aren’t going well is more than enough to make the second season seem fresh and different from the first. Yes, there’s still the monster of the week aspect (it is their show’s schtick after all), but the squabbling and unease sets it all apart.

It’s only one issue, but that’s more than enough to get me excited to see what’s coming down the road this season. Hopefully the series keeps its solid balance between spoofing ghost/monster reality series and its monster hunting side, the first issue still has that down, though it isn’t quite as prominant.

New publisher, same fun series, check out Hoax Hunters, it’s going to be another fun ride.

Heroes without anything or anyone to fight…until one of them is murdered in ways that could only have been accomplished by someone with equal powers.

Solving the mystery falls to Lieutenant Detective John Riley, an ordinary man whose investigation takes him into a strange and dangerous world light years beyond his abilities to understand and very likely far beyond his capacity to survive. The trail leads to a fifty-year-old secret that could threaten the very existence of Protectors, Inc., an impossible love affair, and a serial killer whose work is not yet finished.

Hundreds are killed and the few desperate survivors are forced to hole up within the confines of the small rural town. Trapped in a tiny church, two soldiers fresh from the killing fields of Vietnam must do their best to defend a handful of civilians from the oncoming horde of flesh-eating cadavers. While a man named for the devil holds the barricaded sanctuary, a sniper in the belfry above practices his deadly trade, slaying the “disciples” of hell from a hundred yards away. Together, they must brave the living nightmares of 1968 and fight to hold their tiny piece of HALLOWED GROUND.

“BODIES IN MOTION TEND TO STAY IN MOTION…”

Teen future-cop DaYoung Johansson hits 1980s NYC like a meteor. People can’t get enough of the Rocket Girl: she’s fighting crime, saving citizens, and causing a sensation. But she’s also trying to right a wrong in a mystery so deep it could change the future forever. There’s a lot more going on here than anyone knows about — and it might be more than the 15-year-old super detective can handle.

“A time-travelling teen police force is the stuff my dreams are made of. It’s drawn elegantly and masterfully by Amy Reeder. It looks like she and Brandon Montclare came up with the perfect story to go wild on.”

Two Perspectives in Hoax Hunters #9’s “Flip” Issue

This April, the critically acclaimed Image Comics series Hoax Hunters presents a fun and unique issue that can be readily enjoyed by both current readers and new fans. Riffing on the hook of the series, where a group of “myth-busters” travel the world dispelling various lore on their reality TV show, issue #9 of Hoax Hunters presents both sides of their story. One half shows what happened on-air, what you’d see if you watched an episode; the other shows what happened behind the scenes, how the Hoax Hunters team manipulated everything—in this case, a haunted house confrontation—that happened to make it appear to be fake.

“With issue #9 and the use of the flip book feature, we allowed ourselves a dynamic and uncharacteristic way to show what happens in front of and behind the camera to super fun effect,” said Steve Seeley, co-writer.

The issue will literally have two opposing halves and thus two covers, each from Joe Eisma. Readers will be able to check out one half of the story then flip the comic over for the other half. Brent Schoonover fills in as guest artist for this special issue.

“This is, to me, a great representation of everything that Hoax Hunters is about—fun, inventive, and willing to take risks,” said co-writer Michael Moreci.

Hoax Hunters #9 will be in stores April 17.

Joe Fitzgerald was a mob enforcer until the day he met Laura, who convinced him to leave that world behind.  Before quitting, Joe agreed to one last job, little realizing that the man he’d been sent to kill was deeply involved in demonlogy.  He survived Joe’s attempt and came after him, fatally wounding Joe and killing Laura.  As he lay dying, an angelic force (who may or may not be what she appears) pointed out that where she is going, he can’t follow, and where he is going, he wouldn’t want her to follow.  But if he will agree to work for them as a different kind of enforcer, they will bring him to life and keep on bringing him to life every time he is killed in a righteous cause.  The reward: for those five minutes of death, he will be with Laura again.  Would you endure an eternity of pain and death, dying over and over, to be with the woman you love for just five minutes each time you died?  Most people might say no.  But Joe Fitzgerald isn’t most people.

A bold new era begins with the long-anticipated return of Joe’s Comics, the imprint that brought you MIDNIGHT NATION and RISING STARS.  All-new stories from J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI (Babylon 5, Jeremiah, Thor, Amazing Spider-Man, Superman: Earth One) return in 2013 with an action packed line up featuring everything from superhero action to supernatural thrillers.
