MINISERIES PREMIERE
Buzzard County, 1981-Moonshine Bigfoot spends his days making a living while outwitting clueless cops, reckless rivals, and buffoonish Bigfoot Hunters. All is hunky-dory until he draws the attention of an Illuminati-esque cabal. With his partner in life and crime, Amethyst, our hairy hero is about to learn that some problems can't be handled just by jumping them in a souped-up Mach 1.
When the action settles down at issues end, Howard and Ellis really lay into the atmosphere. The big crowd shot at the bar is a lot of fun...deftly drawing on pop cultural imagery from the early 1980s in a style very much inspired by comic book and graphic artists of the early 1980s. Its impressive stuff. Its pretty rare that a retro comic book manages to nail an era quite as well as the first issue of Moonshine Bigfoot. Granted...the art IS a lot more detailed than most of mainstream comic books managed to be back then and Daniels coloring work is WAY ahead of what would have been possible on the page back then, but its an impressive tribute to an earlier era of action comedy.

Ellis delivers some fantastic art in the issue. The story has a wonderful setting and Ellis takes advantage of that by making some truly surreal and stunning visuals to match the insane energy of the story. Read Full Review
Moonshine Bigfoot sets the pace for the story to come. There's plenty of action and a ton of laughs along the way. Characters are larger than life and over the top. I hate to say it but the only thing that stumped me here was the pacing. There's a lot of exposition that has some high octane scenes spinning wheels in the mud. However the premise is great and my intrigue still has me high on what's next. Read Full Review
Because it's not slamming on the gas outright, the debut of 'Moonshine Bigfoot' comes off as a more measured, impactful take on '90s comic xtreme-ness. Read Full Review
