Review: Redneck #12

By Hunter T. Patrick

Yet another damn good time with the family. After the climatic end of the first arc, we now get to see the creative team try to one-up themselves. The last several issues felt like things moved very slowly as the main focal point were flashbacks for those issues. Issue 12 gains all the momentum that the last few issues lacked (great stuff learned in those flashbacks so no loss there). Redneck’s second story arc seemed very concerned about going bigger than the last, and this issue caps that off. After so much build up and things got so big it is to wonder if the next story arc will also keep trying to get bigger.

Review: Rugrats #7

By Hunter T. Patrick

As a big Rugrats fan when I was a child I was really looking forward to this. I have not read the other issues yet, so I am reviewing this as the first issue I read, which it required no background knowledge I noticed of the other issues so that was good. With that in mind, the question is if I enjoyed the comic and if it did give me the nostalgia I was looking forward to. The answer is disappointingly no. The story did not feel like a whole story, it felt way too short. There were several panels without dialogue, which I am a fan of, but they just contributed to making the issue feel like a waste. The story would have worked much better if it was half the comic and they had another mini story for the other half, but sadly that story was it. There could be an argument that it is supposed to be like that as it is a comic about babies, but the show did take things up a notch. The ending was predictable, but there was one little twist to it that was fun to see and where the writer went with it.

Review: Ice Cream Man #4

By Hunter T. Patrick

Dark. Twisted. Delicious. The book where you can’t help but keep returning to try all its fun flavors. This issue does not feel like it has the standard horror as the other issues. Sure there is still some horror, but this issue has a different feel compared to the others and makes the issue all the stronger. The horror elements do not really come after this issue’s protagonist as it feels separate. This issue trades that in for heart and a new type of horror that haunts everything else: loss. No crazy monsters or anything this month in the traditional sense and it helps this strong series stays on top.

Review: The Pervert

By Hunter T. Patrick

The Pervert is an original graphic novel full of sadness and gloom about a transsexual. The color choices are all dark and gloomy. The word choices too are not the most pleasant. It is full of LGBTQ’ slurs, with ‘fag’ popping up everywhere. The interesting thing about this read is the main character’s heartbreaking philosophy that their name does not matter, but instead love for others. As wonderful as that sounds they just do not matter to themselves and this is a theme throughout. Instead of a name, we see them get called ‘fag’ and various other slurs from various passersby’s. The devaluing of the protagonist helps keep this work uneasy and disheartening. For as many slurs we see the character get called, we also see her through various sexual activities as she lives as a prostitute.
