Five comics you should be reading (but probably aren’t)
Semantink has placed GHOST PROJEKT in very esteemed company. This is a tough business and a lot of great titles either fall through the cracks or live in a cult status they deserve better than:
GHOST PROJEKT (Oni Comics):What’s it about? Well, the official series pitch from Oni goes a little something like this:
“Russia is often remembered from the shadow cast during the Cold War-era when every stranger was a spy, but now that the Cold War is long over, some things left behind from that era may not stay lost. An abandoned Soviet research facility somewhere in Siberia has been home to a strange and dangerous weapon that is now in the hands of thieves claiming it for their own. U.S. weapons inspector Will Haley has been assigned to find out what dangers the weapon poses and with the help of Russian agent Anya Romanova they will find the answers, but it will be far from easy.”
Basically think X-files in Russia.
Why should you read it? Joe Harris lays out one creepy-ass mystery and Steve Rolston makes it even better. You can see the fear in a character’s eyes and feel a shiver down your spine when you catch a glimpse of a distorted footprint in the snow.
I’m honestly humbled by the caliber of books they place us alongside and hope you check some of these great comics out.
