Buzzkill
by Mark Reznicek, Donny Cates
Drink and become superman. Sounds like a easy deal, right?
Well we got our main character here, names himself Ruben in front of people in his AA Meeting but he is not that. He is not what he appears actually. He isn't drinking because when he does he becomes a Superman type of fighter except a lot more violent. I mean arms, legs, heads ripped off body type of hero. So he decides no more. He wants to go straight. Wants to live a normal life. However, villains won't let that happen so easy. With a sneak attack, dealing with lost love, and a final showdown with a nice twist BuzzKiller contains everything that should make it a homerun. Is it though?
Good: I enjoyed the art. Scratchy but worked for the style. I enjoyed the main lead. He had a terrible outlook on life but so what? It's the cards he's dealt. I also enjoyed the first showdown as it felt like their were actually stakes.
Bad: The series goes very dark. Like, yes, the material should be but damn is it depressing at times. A lot of people die, and quickly, and brutally. The ending doesn't leave off at a happy note (did you expect it to?) and I could see some people finding it too dark to stomach.
Overall it's short and interesting take on the superhero genre. It's not perfect, but it's not bad, I enjoyed my time with it. Around a 2.5-3 out of 5.
