Standard Cover for Issue #1
I try to do my best to release a variety of comic content here on Skatronixxx, and while a lot of it has been horror comics lately (it is that time of year) I can’t help it sometimes. Creators come to me and give me a copy of their comic, and it turns out to be a horror comic. I do my best to give them exposure or a review. Horror is not something I usually read a lot of, but now I do.
Monster Of The Week #1 shares some elements of the horror but is actually a giant monster adventure story. Each year, once a week, every week, for three months in the mid-west of the United States a GIANT MONSTER falls from the sky. The later in the week the monster arrives the bigger it is. A group of young kids are convinced this is their year for “glory” in defeating a monster themselves despite US military involvement in destroying the monsters.
Unlike a lot of Kickstarter Campaigns Moster Of The Week #1 is an already completed comic. The Campaign is mainly for printing cost. So you know if and when this Kickstarter is funded you will not have a long wait time to receive the physical copy of the comic (if that’s the reward you choose) which is great considering the long wait times many other Kickstarter have.
Having had the chance to read the completed issue I have to say its a cool concept for a comic. It leaves you wondering where these monsters come from and why they come once a year to the Midwestern United States and not any of the major cities.
Writer Ryan Little does a good job of setting up this interesting story with no filler dialogue that’s straight to the point. Ryan has described the comic as “A Giant Monster/ Kaiju book in the wonky tone of Adventure Time“, and I have to say that’s pretty accurate.
I’m a big fan of Adventure Time and speaking of which Artist Mike Vasquez has worked on Adventure Time. Mike has also worked for companies such as Topps and Upper Deck, as has colourist, Joe Hogan.
The reward tiers are very reasonable for comic fans and a decent retailer incentive for shops looking for something new and a signing to help bring in customers. If you got the cash and enjoy giant monster adventure comics consider supporting Monster Of The Week #1.
The campaign has currently raised $529 of it $1,500 goal with 19 days to go (Fri, Nov 4, 2016, 12:32 PM EDT is the deadline) .
