“The Monster and The Wolf”
The Arctic base stood empty with several Tasker scientists lying frozen in the snow outside. It was apparent by the blood and carnage that weather played no role in the scene. Someone, or something, had attacked the men at the research station. But why?
Clint Abbott had come in search of a cure. A cure to a disease which had plagued humanity since the days of Eden. Clint scanned the grizzled faces of the deceased, but none matched the man he traveled thousands of miles to see. Could he last another night without the serum? It mattered little to the beast trapped within.
Why had his father told him the story of the Monster and Wolf? What did the Tasker scientists find buried in ice over a century ago? Who killed the researchers in such a savage manner? Collect the series to find out!
Review
With all the marketing hype over Mark Spears recently, I figured I better read “The Monster and the Wolf” before it fades from my precious memory. Blind-bags and homage covers and the marketing, oh my. I can understand the praise of his cover art. They are amazing and unique. The interior art, on the other hand, is not very appealing to me.
Every page reminds me of some 3-D video game graphics generated for the defunct Playstation 3 or PC market. Is this the future of comic book art? I’m genuinely curious about Spears’ method here. The story is fine, I just don’t understand the choice of vehicles used to deliver it. I give issue number one three stars.
