Image presents another unruly comic title from creator Cullen Bunn. This time around, it’s Unearth #1.
Written by Cullen Bunn and Kyle Strahm, with art by Baldemar Rivas, Unearth is a creepy little thing. It all starts in Mexico, where Dr. McCommick (huh? Comic?) with Dr. Reyes and Lieutenant Morris are checking out a strange hospital. There seem to be a few healthy workers there, but the afflicted are in bad shape. And I mean BAAAAD. Disfigured, distorted and disturbing. What happens next when the team goes into a cave to learn more? Well, let’s just say it’s horrible, horrific and horrifying.
It’s a great pulse accelerant, nerve inflaming and breath enhancer. The story is solid, the premise has promise, and the artwork is divine. Or devilishly good. Whichever end of the teeter-totter you want to sit on, it all balances out. Check out this first issue, it’s a heckuva ride!
Image Comics, Unearth #1, $3.99 for 27 pages of content. Rated Mature.
