While nostalgia storytelling and the embrace of old forms work whenthey're done well (any Quentin Tarantino film) and tinkered with,MudMan just feels like a comic that actually came out 50 years ago.We've seen this before, and we've seen it since, often better, andless muddy.

One issue with the 1st issue is the language. Its well written but kinda tough to decipher sometimes. Takes a more attentive reading to digest it all, but you oughta be attentive anyway, reader. More fun that way, right?

The cover artwork and title are infinitely promising, but the title is unfortunately apropos. These whispers are really just mumbles.
