 Boy, do I have something special for you guys today. Hello everybody, E here. Welcome back to another comic book review. I've done a couple of these in the past for Cried Havoc, for Victor Laval Frankenstein, for what was the other one. I don't know if you really call it a comic, but the, not tales of the loop, the electric state book that I did the review for. And I also did, there's one other comic I can't remember off the top of my head. My buddy Marcus sent it to me. And it was a killer, to kill or be killed, something like that. But I've done comic books, the whole point of that mess was to tell you that I've done comic books before. My buddy Darren Kapoff sent me a message on Twitter, just to be completely upfront and honest with everybody. Me and Darren are currently working on a project together. This, however, is not his project. This is his friend's project. I did a Kickstarter for it, and it looks like it got funded. I will leave links to where you can get this comic book down there in the doobly-doo once I actually find out. So we're talking about Graveyard Slaughter. I'm gonna take this out of the plastic. First off, it looks like they gave me the full Kickstarter package. I did not back it, because I didn't know about it back then, I likely would have. And once we get into it, I will show you, I'm sure you guys will understand why I would have backed it, but it's got a sticker, looks like. It says, be kind, rewind, or die. Graveyard Slaughter. That's not gonna focus. Hush, Patrick, hush. I know it doesn't focus. All right, and then I got, you guys know how much I love a bookmark. Camp Slaughter bookmark in the back here. And then this, I don't know if this is actually a video game or what, but there was this card in it. It says, barbaric days. And it says, a brutal video computer experience. Art by Javier Salteres, VGE video game experiences. It does say Graveyard Slaughter. And it seems to be based on the first story in this anthology. And yes, I said anthology because this amazing comic book is just like the old creep show and tales from the crypt comics. Well, it's not old creep show comics, but it's like creep show, the tales from the crypt comics, that kind of thing, tales of terror, all that. The book is broken up into four short segments, probably about 15 pages each roughly, I think. Maybe even as little as 10 for some of them. The stories range widely from slasher kind of things, aliens to the undead, all different kinds of plot points, but there are also four individual segments told from inside video game arcade, movie stores, several different things. The high point of this collection is the artwork. Every single artist did a bang up job. It is all in black and white, but you are dealing with individual characters with their individual designs. And it's just, I'm gonna demonetize them and show that. Let's see here. But you have things like this where every character has their own face, every character has their own attitude. And that's one of the things that I ran into a problem with a book, I think it was Sisters of Sorrow, something like that. That's another comic that I reviewed on this channel. I wasn't getting much character. Not only was I not getting character development, but I wasn't getting much in the way of the characters looking the same from frame to frame, which is rather bad when it comes to a comic book. It'd be like Superman looking different in every single frame. And that's happened, of course. But this is every single frame, these people look different. In this one, they did a really, really good job of each character maintaining the same facial structure at the very least. You got creepy shit like this. This is really, I mean, I am blown away by the quality of this comic. The four different sections are barbaric days. Barbaric days, is that what this one says? Yeah, it does say barbaric. I'm sorry, I read that wrong, not barbarian days. Truth or dare, kill with one eye open, which is easily my favorite in this collection. It reminds me a lot of, there's a movie anthology called Tales of Halloween. And there's a segment in there almost like this, but the twist in this one, I like the twist in this one more than I like the twist in the movie. And then the last one's called Cheating. Cheating was a whole hell of a lot of fun. I love stories about kids, and these are kids in a graveyard playing hide and go seek, and it ends wonderfully, the, hang on, kill with one eye open is the one with the slasher that I've really enjoyed also. Truth or dare was probably the only weak story in here for me. The artwork is fantastic, don't get me wrong, but probably if I had to pick like a least favorite, that would be my least favorite, and then barbaric days was pretty rad too. Barbaric days, once again, the artwork is outstanding. And then you have stuff like this on the back, Vampire Lady, there are so many Easter eggs, so much goodness in here for fans of horror movies, especially slasher films, just horror movies in general, but I would say especially slasher films. There is one, there's a nod to Aliens, there's a nod to, let's see here, not Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, there's nods to all these different movies throughout, and it's a lot of fun. But yeah, this is number one, like I said, it was a Kickstarter, so this is jumping off point. This is number one in Graveyard Slaughter, I think the, Graveyard Slaughter is the name of the series, I think Video Hell is the name of the issue. I'm not sure, I'm not entirely sure, but it was written by Cullen Bunn and Kevin Watkins, art by Javier Salteres, if I'm saying that wrong, I apologize, Blackie Shepherd, Adam McLaughlin, and Gary Bettel. So yeah, definitely go check this out, the publisher is Lunchbox Comics, their little thing, basically it's Lunchbox, but almost in that word world, and you know what, they got kids, you ever watch World World? Word World, kinda that thing, but it's a lunchbox made out of words. So it's Lunchbox Press, title is Graveyard Slaughter, subtitle is Video Hell, please go check it out. Like I said, I don't know where to buy it right now, but I will leave links, or I will pin if the creators, or my friend Darren wants to post a comment on where you can buy this, all the places they can buy it, please do post it down there in the comments, and I will pin your tweet, but until next time, I have been E, you have been U, this has been a comic book review, I'll talk to you guys later, bye bye. Oh, and many thanks to Darren and the publishers of the writer's artwork, all these people who worked on it, thanks so much for a review copy of the book, I appreciate ya.
