Talking Cats, Zombies, and Mecha-Crabs: Who could ask for anything more?

Posted by David von Doom | Closed | September 17th, 2013 | Posted in Comics


 Eehmm-theoryhmm Theory is a fun take on a classic story of self discovery. We meet Gabriel Ehmm on his way home to surprise his girlfriend with a new cat he just got for her.  But it’s Gabriel who is surprised when she is waiting for him with a gun and a pair of women’s underwear that she found in their room.  Needless to say, they don’t belong to her.  Before he can offer an explanation Gabriel is shot in the head by his girlfriend.  Gabriel’s death is not only surprising to watch unfold in the opening pages of the story but it’s hilarious as well.  It sets the tone that this is going to be a funny and unique comic right off the bat.

Later, Gabriel wakes up in some sort of purgatory where he and his cat, Mr. Whiskers, are greeted by a man who claims to be St. Peter.  To make things even weirder, Mr. Whiskers can now talk.   After experiencing a rather hilarious and weird intro to the story things start to come together.

Disease, Death and A Damn Good Time

Posted by David von Doom | Closed | August 16th, 2013 | Posted in Daily Rants


The Plague Cover“Plague” is a term that refers to something disgusting and dangerous. It breeds the idea of death and destruction.  The Plague  is all of those things and more.  The truth is,  The Plague is pretty f*cking awesome.

The Plague opens in the farmlands of Iowa where we meet a hardworking family.  A loving mother is tasked with saving her daughter from a particularly aggressive and disgusting rat. When chasing the rat out with the broom fails, she has to resort to using her husband’s shovel to finish the job.

One of my favorite things of The Plague is how the art helps tell the story.  From the moment you see the first rat you know its no ordinary creature.  The detail in its blood stained fur, the expression of its wild eyes, they tell you before the chase even begins that something is different about this rat.  When the commotion dies down and her husband, Robert, disposes of the still twitching body you get the feeling they haven’t seen the last of these creatures.
