An impersonal main story does get a lifeline from clever lettering and art, but will need to get more intimate in order for readers to connect. Read Full Review

The comic tries for an Unsolved Mysteries vibe but instead comes off monotone and frankly boring. Read Full Review

Plot This comic includes two stories, the first in the main and long story that is open for several installments and the second is a short story with a single installment: BLUE BOOK 1947 written by JAMES TYNION IV with art by MICHAEL AVON OEMING and lettered by Tom Napolitano: the main story tells of the sighting of some strange and shiny objects by pilot Kenneth Arnorld in 1947, who was searching for the site where an aircraft crashed in Mount Rainer in Washington DC in the USA. These luminous bodies had a flight pattern similar to that of a "disc jumping over water", when viewed in detail they looked like aircraft in a formation of geese. Then these aircraft disappeared at full speed. From this event arises the famous definition "F lying Saucer". Arnold landed and reported this to other pilots in the area who advised him to hide it. Arnold, not satisfied, went to the local press and his story was so convincing that it was published in the Chivago Tribune. From that moment on, Arnold was interviewed by several media outlets and received Letters from women from Percoas stating that they saw the same thing that same day in that same place. The F.B.I contacted Arnold and all the witnesses, determining that the same narrative exists. Arnold initially thought they were Soviet aircraft because the Cold War was beginning and the arms race was booming, but then many people's version turned to ships from another planet. The narrative of this story is hypnotizing, it captures you panel by panel with a feeling of reading/watching a documentary. The art uses blue and black tone and color palette, which, aided by excellent body language, explains how events occur, providing a veil of mystery and suspense. TRUE WEIRD “THE DUNGARVON WHOOPER” by Zac Thompson, Gavin Fullerton and Aditya Bidikar: It is based on the mysterious case of the loggers of Brunswick, Canada in 1894, when one of the loggers murdered another and everyone began to experience ghostly visions. more
