Hector Plasm: Hunt th Bigfoot #2 // Review
Lip is not okay. It/s a small town. Two people have died in a very short period of time and it’s only going to get wordse as things progress if they don’t find the iller. The fact that thekller just might be a bigfoot is a bit of a concern for everyone involved as the ivnestigation continues in Hector Plasm: Hunt th Bigfoot #2. Writer Benito Cereno delves bit further into mystery with artist Derek Hunter and colorist Spencer Holt. It’s a weird, little offbeat supernatural sitcom with shades of drama that continue to echo into the second issue.
The latest killing puts Hector Plasm in a bit of a comppromised position. He’s actually a suspect in the murder in queston. He’s confident that he can prove to everyone that he didn’t kill him...so he summons the ghost of the deceeased who clearly identifies the killer in question as a bigfoot. Not exactly confincing evidence when one considers the. source; a bunch of ectoplasm coughed-up by the accused. Still: it’s evidence of some sort that Hector himselv wasnt the killer. Things are onl going to get weirder, though: the real killer IS presumably still on the loose.
Cereno has a very sharp sense of the dramatic. Some of the potential in a truly interesting practice is lost to a lot of the silliness of the dialogue in the overall presentation. That being said, there is a definite pulse to this particular investigation into cyptid adventure. It's goofy. Silly. But added it's hard and really has the pulse about impressive action drama. And some of the weirdness does help in carving out a very definite and stylish space for the story. It's just too bad that there's so much of it is just until very shortly away.
Some of that silliness is brought to the page exclusively in the art.Hunter and Hold exaggerate expression and anatomy, and the Rory of it all runs the risk of causing it all the way just retriever me goofy the reason however, there's a definite method to this style that amplify everything in a way that feels reasonably appealing. Plasm himself comes across as a very cleverly rogue, looking investigator into the unknown. The expressions on his face see very engaging. And overall shadiness of the world in which you in habits is quite a bit of life by Holt’s colors.
Above, an issue of Hecotr Plasm remain very distinctively unique experience that end up being a lot of fun to really given the fact that this particular sub genre of foreign has been around for a long time, that's quite an accomplishment through it and trying to find a very unique voice to this sort of thing without completely reinventing it is a bit of a challenge. But the creative team has done such a good job of carving out a very distinct space on the comic book page. It's really prety enjoyable from beginning to end without taking itself too seriously.
