Not Drunk Enough

Hapless overnight repairman Logan finds himself fighting his way through a lab crowded with monstrosities: man-made crimes against nature lurking down hallways and around corners. What’s turned this industrial laboratory into an urban battlefield? Logan leads the survivors (not many of them) in a quest for the answers and the exit. Collected from Stone’s (Buzz!, Hanna is Not a Boy’s Name) webcomic, this blood-spattered thrill ride is a cross between The Walking Dead and Die Hard with a dash of The Evil Dead’s black humor. Rapid-fire action and sharp-as-an-axe dialogue drive a page-flipping narrative. Manga-style angular humans and monsters explode on the page with deep blood-reds, shadowy darks, and thick black panel borders that wall Logan in like an endless labyrinth. Even Stone’s expressive lettering brings a violent, ragged language to screams, growls, and bone crunches. The raucous fusion of smarts and shivers elevates it above the average crowd of gory monster comics—a bloody good frightfest. (July)
