Million Feet Tall of Awesome Comics vol. 4 - OmniPigent
Greetings from your friendly neighborhood Searnold [Shár- Nŭhld]. Welcome to my comic book review blog - thanks for tuning in. Today is Monday, September 22nd, 2008.
Today’s Issue:
I am pleased to have my first pre-release review be for Million Feet Tall of Awesome Comics vol. 4 - OmniPigent, created by fellow SCCG (Sacramento Comic Creators Group) members, Devon McMindes and Griffon Lyles. Check out their website at http://www.rainbowoflies.com. For those who live in the Sacramento Area, Million Feet Tall of Awesome Comics vol. 4 - OmniPigent will be premiering at Sac Con on Sunday, September 28th. Check out the Sac Con website at http://www.sacramentocomics.com. And if you can’t make it to Sac Con, check out my coverage of it as the host of SCCG TV - the hardest hitting news show in the universe - at http://www.myspace.com/SCCG. Alright - I think that’s enough shameless self promotion. Let’s check out the comic.
Premise:
A pig who wears a pompadour gains infinite power and eats the sun. Hilarious pun-filled shenanigans ensue including an epic battle with the space cowboy known as gravity.
The Awesome Parts:
I laughed out loud. MULTIPLE TIMES! Seriously - crazy funny. Devon and Griffon (in alphabetical order) have totally captured the comedy of randomness. And the comedy was constant. There was AT LEAST one good joke on each page.
The Less-Than-Awesome Parts:
The only thing I have to say against this comic is that it has an air of unprofessionalism about it. In one sesne, that enhances the random hilarity of the comic. But on the other hand, it looks and feels like it was printed at Kinkos. Also, the simplistic art style is great for the comedy - but is nothing to write home about visually.
My Recommendation:
If you enjoy random humor like Frisky Dingo, Family Guy, or Freakazoid (hrm… all animated “F” shows - I assure you that was not planned. Did I just stumble upon a trend?) then this comic book is for you. If your comedy styles don’t enjoy pigs eating suns then you probably wouldn’t understand the appeal of Million Feet Tall of Awesome Comics vol. 4 - OmniPigent.
That’s all for today. I hope you enjoyed this sneak peak. Remember, if there’s a comic book you’re interested in but aren’t sure if it’s worth your hard earned cash - let me know and I’ll review it for you. As always - thanks for reading - see you next time.
-Searnold
