Review – Freakshow #2

Posted on May 17, 2011 by Brett

I loved the first issue of the series, and it was going to be tough for Freakshow #2 to hold up and match that quality. It absolutely does. The second issue of the series picks up where the first ended. The series is a mix of horror and action, with heroes that aren’t what you expected. Written by David Server and Jackson Lanzing with art by Joe Suitor the story is a series you probably aren’t reading, but need to give it a chance.

Ape Entertainment’s long-awaited dark superhero epic launches with a giant-sized debut issue! When five refugee survivors develop monstrous mutations from a devastating chemical explosion that leaves their city in ruins, they band together to seek revenge. But do these terrifying new abilities make them monsters — or heroes?

As I said in my first review, the series has more to share with a super hero comic than horror. Yeah, the “heroes” are disfigured monsters, but they think they’re doing good. It’s a great mix of story and mood. The art is different, there’s just something about the look to it you don’t see often. The line art, coloring, everything just pops to it.

I’m sure you haven’t read the first issue (even though I gave it a 9), but this is a series that deserves your dollar. It’s a definite buy.

Review – Freakshow #1

Posted on February 21, 2011 by Brett

I had no idea what to expect going into Freakshow #1. I thought it’d be a horror comic, or some comic version of gore porn. How wrong was I. And how solid it was. Written by David Server and Jackson Lanzing with art by Joe Suitor the story is nothing I expected.

The comic shares more with super hero comics than horror. It’s main characters might be freaks, but the writing makes you sympathetic towards them. The background as to what caused them to gain their abilities is interesting and different. I don’t even know how best to describe the series. It’s just fantastic.

The mood, story, art, it’s all great. Ape Entertainment should have a hit on their hands. I can’t wait to read more and definitely want to see what else Ape has out there. This is over-sized first issue is well worth the buy.
