American Caper #1

American Caper #1 is an exaggerated, funny, and at times unsettling premiere issue. Dan Houser crafts a satire that pokes fun at all sides of the conversation without holding back, while David Lapham's gritty artwork perfectly matches the tone and energy of the story. It'll be interesting to see where this creative team goes after this first issue. Read Full Review

If you like stories where everything is on the table to make fun of, skewer, poke, jab, and nothing is sacred, American Caper #1 is for you. It's an out there start that'll keep you on your toes with no idea what to expect next for what will happen and to who. It's also a story where you'll cheer when everyone gets what they deserve. It's a cathartic middle finger to the state of things with a focus on the hyper polarization and self-centeredness that the world has become. It's a comic where lines are drawn and it's the reader against everyone on the page. Read Full Review

American Caper #1 is a solid start to an irreverent and surprisingly intriguing crime story, mixing dark humor with well-detailed art. Read Full Review

American Caper is a chaotic and scatterbrained read that pushes satire to the absolute limit, for better or for worse. It's unhinged in all the right ways, from its crude comedy to its absurd violence, cramming as much as it can into just its first issue. Read Full Review

Plot The story introduces us to a community in Verona, Wyoming, USA, where one of its residents, lawyer William Hamilton, explains how his life is a misery due to his gambling addiction and decisions based on earning money working for a corrupt firm whose clients are detestable but wealthy individuals. William's family is dysfunctional. His wife, Marnie, is a hateful woman who adheres to radical right-wing political ideals. His daughter, Arabella, is his complete political opposite, supporting the left. Meanwhile, his son, Brian, lives in a virtual world where he's convinced he can do anything without any real effort. The only thing they all have in common is their hatred and disrespect for their father, whom they see as a lukewarm pers on who doesn't take sides. William has an accident that seems to change everything, but he doesn't fully explain it in this installment. Next door to the Hamiltons lives a seemingly perfect and fully functional family. Their parents, Orson and Eliza, are Mormons; their house is pristine, and everything appears perfect. But Orson harbors a dark secret, adding to the sins of this detestable community. William is obsessed with his neighbor Eliza's beauty. This comic explores the situation of political pluralism, not only in the US but across the globe, which blinds people to what is truly happening, allowing corruption to flourish amidst such intolerance of political views. Art The art is highly detailed, achieving impeccable facial expressions that help narrate this story of social and human corruption. Summary A vision of the consequences of political intolerance, which corruption exploits as a smokescreen more

This is not what I expected. I have no idea where it's going. It was just a fun as hell comic. It's pretty crude and makes fun of a lot, but it was highly entertaining.
