Elk's Run
by Joshua Hale Fialkov
Elk's run is a dark look into a community cut off from the world but nothing is going very well and the community is about to collapse.
We see a family who is very broken. A son who hates his father, and dislikes his living conditions, with a community very tightly closed off from the world. When it begins to see why they're closed off our main hero decides to get the fuck out of the town. However, when cops get murdered, the hunt is on to find the kids, and shit is about to go down in a dangerous way.
Good: The feel of dread felt throughout the whole story is great. I actually enjoyed a lot of the character's interactions and also the mysterious aura around the city really gives off a creepy and sad vibe.
Bad: Didn't like the art all that much. Sometimes hard to tell what happened. I also thought the backstories could have used a extra issue or two to really get connected.
Overall a dreary and well done tale. If it had better art it could have been great. Still worth checking out. A 3 out of 5.
