The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of CRIMSON SOCIETY #1 from Action Lab Comics. Mike Hunau writes and Carlos Trigo draws.
Jack Crimson is a werewolf in a future world where it’s just
becoming acceptable to be a “monster.” Werewolves, vampires, zombies and the
like are starting to be accepted. Which means that there are people who want
them dead. Dr. Rendal was one of those, but Jack didn’t know that until after
the surgery that made him a vampire-killing machine.
Jack is a perfectly normal guy – he’s likeable, he’s got a
girlfriend, he obeys the law. We can relate to him, which makes him a good
protagonist. And now he’s got a little voice in his head controlling him and
forcing to kill vampires. It’s a great balance of Jack’s emotional reaction and
the mega-violence thing. And the art helps as well, doing both cityscapes and
bloody fights very nicely.
If “movie monsters meets bio-tech” sounds cool to you, grab
this book. Oh, and there’s a bonus “zero issue” in the back, too. So check it
out.
CRIMSON SOCIETY #1 is available now at your FLCS or at actionlabcomics.com
as well as comiXology.com.
