The story is a joy to read, it feels weighted and oversized as Image Comics describe which is great as never had I felt a comic issue feel quite in depth to read and time to indulge, its 30 pages of glorified heart wrenching adrenaline!. We follow three main guys Cole, Ortiz, and Haley whom are veterans in their line of work from the a committee called the Grave Diggers Union, whom are to protect the ordinary citizens from the strange undergoings of the supernatural attacks like zombies and other weird like creatures from the ground.
I love Wes Craig's artwork especially from Deadly Class, in the following he sets the mysterious scenes of uniform like human instincted primates that are placing strange green-like goo jelly to a dark tree-like alien at the top near an dead-like chthonic creature. Its visually perplexing and refined work in the first few pages, you get a lot of richness in the art however we are not also there to glance in awry about that the richness in a different way also goes to Toby Cypress's art has a lot to be desired than first seen, it may take a little getting used to, but once you follow, you are immersed in the grindhouse like, frantic and scattered yet poetic drawing with the ben day dots and fray black lines that darts around to create texture in the characters.
"The Gravediggers Union" #1 is a dirty, gritty yet full on in depth comic story, and is a brilliant issue one comic, Craig's work is full of layering of information and is as easy to
digest in its introduction, whilst Cypress compliments all of this with intensity and poetic emotion in the drawings with much angst in a good way like an overpacked sketchbook about workers tyring to stop supernatural entities. I absolutely loved it and it has something for everyone, and is my top ten comic books this year! https://geekgenre.wordpress.com/2017/12/17/stranger-things-seen-grave-diggers-union-1/
