Sonny Campisi is a small-time fixer for the mob-controlled neighborhood of Green Village. If you don't pay your gambling debt, he'll come and collect. If you get a little rough with one of "the girls," he gets a little rough with you. But when a dragon flies into town and Sonny is the one who's tasked with getting rid of it, it's a problem unlike any he's ever faced, and a chain of events begins that will affect everyone who lives in that neighborhood. Especially Sonny.
A new comic by James Patrick, the writer of KAIJU SCORE, and breakout artist Marco Locati, CAMPISI is a genre-mashing comedy-thriller that plays like one more
Compared to the big scale of Kaiju Score, Campisi is a very low-key affair that eases us into this world and makes sure that we know that things have been real all along. I like the script as we get it and the heavy narration makes for a fun read in general as you get to know Campisi and his approach to serving the neighborhood and his bosses. The dragon itself gets little time overall but what we do get is intriguing and has me really curious to see what the true direction of the book is. Locati's artwork is great as it really fits the material and his take on both the location and the dragon is great but he had to capture Campisi the most and in the right way for this to work, and I think he does.

Its a well-written, well-illustrated story that I think is going to garner a lot of fans. Read Full Review
The end result is a surprisingly nonchalant tone, and while the main character isn't very likable there might be something fun here. Read Full Review
