Review: The Horror of Collier County
So, yeah, so much for getting useful things done. Civilization is the enemy of productivity. I did get a chance to read The Horror of Collier County by Rich Tommaso, though. Last time I hit the comic shop some irresponsible idiot had given me a coupon for 15% off the whole order and I had a hankering for indy comics and horror; THoCC jumped out at me.
The art and the story telling are really representative of the late nineties indy comic scene, think Clowes and Tomine, without coming across as a rip off of anything in particular. While the art doesn’t particularly stick out, the story itself is a solid fast-paced read with hints of Faulkner. I recommend it if you’ve got some cash and you’re looking for something substantial that’s not going to eat all of your income and time for several months.
