The final scenes of the book unwind in cinematic glory. The black and white images hit the pages with force, and it’s easy to see how this book could become a terrific B-movie, especially in a movie environment that’s currently favorable to comic properties.
The bonus material in the volume is generous. The Gag Page showing Fisher’s art and take on what Henderson would do with the material was hilarious and also reflects on how well the two must have worked together during the project. There are also pages of Fisher’s script opposite Henderson’s artwork for readers that might be interested in how comic scripts are written and how collaborative putting out a graphic novel is.
I had a great time with this sleek little tale. Plenty of action, monsters, and characters I could really get behind provide a lot of reasons to go back through it occasionally for a re-read. But I wish Fisher and Henderson would get something else out. I’m looking forward to it.
