Rumble #1 (2014)

Cover:

Well he looks like trusty worthy fellow don’t he?

Plot:

One day, a young man named Bobby is tending a bar when one of his customers is attacked by a crazed scarecrow.  After dispatching it, he ends up with Cloud’s sword from Final Fantasy and has no idea what the hell is going on.

Writing:

I have no idea what the first two pages have to do with anything.

Our Hero:

Dude, you put that thing on EBay.  You probably get so much money for it.

Our Villain:

These have to be the politest hellspawn I’ve ever seen.

Our Side Characters:

You know what, I like this old curmudgeon.

Action:

Man, you knocked the straw right out of that guy!

Dialogue:

I’m assuming we are somewhere in the Deep South.

Art:

Man, what a lovely looking s**thole of a city this is!

Most Memorable Moment:

Not exactly the usual sort of folk see walk out of a dark alley.  Their blades tend to be much smaller.

Final Page:

Hmm, maybe it was a good thing you didn’t burn all of that straw.

What We Should Take from This Comic:

Something really weird and supernatural is going on in the city that Bobby lives in and they seem to want that sword.

What We Do Take From This Comic:

This comic and Goosebumps book, The Scarecrow Walks at Midnight, prove that scarecrows are legitimate threats to all of humanity.

Yay or Nay?

yay
