"A slick and sleazy chat show host gets more than he bargained
for when he channels an ancient source of evil, unleashing terror and
carnage upon the world."
I really like the idea of this book. A scum bag tv show host gets
what he has coming to him without knowing it. This issue hits on all
levels and is worth checking out.
Artwork: 4.0 out of 5
At times I can be a big fan of Oakley's style and then sometimes I
can't follow his work in the panels. For the most part, lets say 90% of
this issue, his works shines! Just outstanding and gore-geous looking
work. At times though it did seem to jump to the more head scratching
side but overall it works nicely.
Story: 4.0 out of 5
The story is very funny and you honestly want something to happen to
the main character. Great build up on who he is and how he views
others. Towards the beginning of the issue I was waiting for something
to happen but soon enough it did. A cool cliffhanger ending too making
me want to continue on.
Dying Breath: 4.0 out of 5
I just like the concept presented here and I can't wait to see where
this story goes. Of course saying that I hope issue #2 is on the way
soon. You get some great artwork by Oakley and a cool story idea by
Grant. So last I checked that is two winning combination's and you
still don't own it, why?
