The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of EHMM
THEORY #1 from Action Lab Comics. Brockton McKinney writes and Larkin Ford draws.
Gabriel is dead, but it doesn’t seem to be slowing him down.
If anything, he’s now got some excitement in his, ahem, life. Oh, and a talking
cat. Anyway, he’s been killed and St. Peter is now sending him back to Earth to
complete some tasks. His first task is to find his father, but there’s the
small matter of some midget clown zombies first.
Though it doesn’t sound much like comedy material, there’s a
pretty strong vein of funny running through this book. I suspect it will have
its serious moments before it’s over, but there’s also enough comedy to keep it
fun and interesting. Gabriel looks like he’ll be a reluctant hero, and I find
myself pulling for him already. And quest stories have a time-honored place in
storytelling.
I like the dark undertones and the sense of humor in this
book. There’s some interesting supernatural potential, too, so make sure you
pre-order this one.
EHMM THEORY #1 will be available in May, so please order it
now at your FLCS. More info at actionlabcomics.com.
