The CEO of global energy conglomerate Greenleaf Oil has just discovered a terrifying secret: the planet only has a decade or less of petroleum left before it's gone forever. But he has a plan to make sure his great-great grandchildren can continue to generate maximum shareholder value – and secure his own legacy in the process. Rather than develop a game-changing renewable energy source through the power of corporate innovation, Greenleaf has perfected the next best thing – time travel (duh) – so that a team of six field-rat contractors armed to the teeth in individually customized mech suits can go back to the Cretaceous Period, tweak more
If issue 1 indicates the story's quality and execution as we advance, I am all in. The nice thing about Bad Idea's shipping schedule is that they have so few books every month that I am inclined to give this issue at least two more reads before the next installment is released on June 2nd. The art, story, character building, and overall execution are on point. I have no complaints. Read Full Review
Tankers #1 is an interesting comic. It has so much going right, it's unfortunate that it doesn't stick the landing. A great concept that skewers its subjects loses its impact with an ending that's far to predictable. There's something that can be read into that but the fact no one mentions the obvious direction feels like an opportunity lost. A few more lines, and the comic would have nailed the humor of it all. I'm hoping the second issue of Tankers surprises me by heading into a different direction but as is, this is a story we've seen before too many times. Read Full Review
I great first issue for anybody that wants to see a trex fight a mech
It's a pretty bonkers series with crazy characters and a ridiculous premise. But godamn, it made me laugh! Dinos, stupid action, and funny dialogue done right.
The premise is highly clever, but if you've already heard the elevator pitch for this series, you're not going to discover much beyond that by reading the actual first issue. On the other hand, a T-Rex does get sawed in half.
