Robot 6: What Are You Reading?
Robot 6 over at Comic Book Resources spotlighted some of this week’s books:
You know those comics that fly just under your radar when they’re first released and then suddenly it seems like everyone’s is talking about how great it is? And by the time you find out it’s way too late to get copies of the whole series and you just wish someone had told you about it sooner? You know, like Chew or Stumptown or Stuff of Legend or Locke & Key or Choker or Last Days of American Crime or Forgetless?! Well, GHOST PROJEKT is one of those books… and I’m telling you to pick it up right now.
GHOST PROJEKT is an excellently creepy post-Soviet horror chronicle of two American weapons inspectors uncovering strange phenomena at an abandoned weapons facility deep in the heart of the Siberian outback. Rich with politics and unsettling arms race experiments, this book pours on cold war era paranoia and shakes plenty of 21st century WMD anxieties into a cocktail glass overflowing with the kind of supernatural strangeness you’ve been thirsting for. A perfect allegory for true modern terror.
If you’re looking for a comic that will keep you on the edge of your seat waiting for the next installment, this is it.
