Frostbite by Jason Shawn Alexander, Joshua Williamson
3.0

This felt like a typical fun little low budget action/horror movie style.

What's it about? Well people get a disease called Frostbite, which, you guessed it, gives them just that. However, it's extreme. In terms of what it does to people it can kill them, or does, over time. The more heat that is introduce the quicker it spreads. it's like a zombie story without the zombies. On top of that the two main leads are not friends, but forced to work together, based on some information they both know and secrets they both hide.

Good: The art is stylish and pretty great. I especially like the way it bleeds into the words. I thought the characters, while kind of forgettable, atleast sounded realistic and interesting. The disease itself too was pretty cool.

Bad: The ending was okay at best. Failed to feel like there were major stakes. I also thought the characters, while dialog was solid, didn't seem all that interesting in the end.

This is around a 2.5 but I'ma bump it to a 3 for the art alone.
