Black-Eyed Kids, Vol. 1: The Children
by Joe Pruett
I actually met Joe Pruett at the Daytona Comic Con. Super nice dude, I bought bunch of Aftershock graphic novels from him, so expect more reviews coming soon. So what did I think of HIS Comic?
This is basically children of the corn but a little bit more sci-fi. These kids begin to turn on the town they live in one by one. It's almost like a cult is forming, except instead of it feeling like a religious brand converting everyone's eyes turn pure black and start killing people. It's a slow, and creepy, build to something larger that isn't quite made clear just yet.
Good: I liked most of the art. Everything flowed well enough and easy to understand. I also liked how fast paced it become at points, and that nobody feel felt safe. I also enjoyed the mystery behind it all and eager to know what comes next.
Bad: I felt some of the dialog wasn't hitting the marks it wanted. I didn't get a sense of a main character or someone to root for (yet) and I thought the art worked for most part but was often too dark to understand at points.
Overall this is a mix bag. I didn't love it, but didn't dislike it, so it goes around a 2.5 for me. I'll bump it up to a 3 just because I enjoyed the setting and idea behind it and hoping volume 2 expands that.
