In what was an impulse buy at the local comic shop to try something new, I have been pleasantly surprised with this book. Simply put, this book is for a rainy night before bed to make your dreams fun.
What sold me trying it out is the artwork. Brazilian illustrator Gabriel Iumazark has a bright future in the comic medium. The color palette runs in greens and sickly yellows with the occasional punch of red to emphasize the horror element the book is creating as it unveils itself. Living in Florida as I do, these color choices punch the run down nature of time and rot where humidity and water are destined to reclaim all. At first glance, the balance of lettering on the page was off to me but as you move forward the style grows on you and fits with executing the story's vision.
I had a bit of trouble with being sold on the whole teenage boy fantasy element but you got three issues to complete a concept so there's not much room to be subtle. It's not heavy handed and while not deft exactly serves to move along the story to the meat of the arc so I'm good with it in the end.
My overall impression is being left wanting more and I'll pick up likely anything Iumazark touches in the future.
