Ah, Mudone! A frickin' dragon has flown into Green Village with an ultimatum, and since that neighborhood is run by the mob, it needs to be handled a very certain way so as not to attract attention. This means it's now Sonny Campisi's problem to navigate. But as he tries to fix it, one complication after another arises...not the least of which is that the dragon is kind of an a-hole.
Each issue of CAMPISI: THE DRAGON INCIDENT features 24 pages of story and art with a cardstock cover!
I liked the opening installment well enough but as it seems to be when it comes to Patrick's stories for me, it takes the second issue for it to really connect and feel like it's clearer on the story it wants to tell. The first issue was all about Sonny, his story, the town, and then the attack, but here things firm up in a whole lot of ways. It's definitely heavy with the dialogue but it works it in a really strong way to make for a great read. Locati's artwork continues to be a real delight here with some great character designs and an overall style that really hits a kind of sweet spot that delivers for me, especially with the color design used here. I'm growing more excited about this series with each issue. Read Full Review
