The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of CLAY
COUNTY from Arcana. The story is by Bruce Brown and Chip Christell with art by Adam
Mrozowski.
The aliens invaded Earth three years ago are approaching
Clay County in an effort to acquire SF-92. The only thing that is in their way
is the last member of the resistance – Sergeant Coleman. He encounters four
rednecks who don’t know nor care about the aliens…that is until they destroyed
the bar where they hang out. Even then, they are more concerned about drinking
beer. Coleman must organize the rednecks in order to aid him in fighting back
and restoring Earth’s freedom. Good luck with all that!
This was such an entertaining graphic novel to read! It’s
dumb redneck humor, but it is so smartly written. CLAY COUNTY plays like a
summer movie – bits of absurd action and laugh out loud humor. You have to feel
for Sergeant Coleman – he is so frustrated dealing with the stupidity of the
rednecks. Mrozowski’s art and coloring
sets a great eerie mood…very much like a 50’s sci-fi film. If that was the goal,
then mission accomplished. Overall, this graphic novel is a solid read and
worth picking up.
CLAY COUNTY is available for order at www.arcana.com.
