Sewage

Possibly the 2nd worse comic I have ever read. The character Xaxi is nothing of substance, just boobs, a damsel in distress, a Judas, and a damsel in distress again. The one black member of the team talks like a caricature of a stereotype from a 1970s movie. The plot jumps all over the place. The art looks like someone wanted to copy Rob Liefeld but came failed miserably. He has no concept of anatomy or panel layout. All in all if you paid 25 dollars for this you were ripped off. (Un)Luckily the...

This is a combination of 3 separate stories. Each has the same writer and each has a different artist.1st story - Fairly bland GI Joe rip-off. Elite commando team, the Jawbreakers, infiltrates enemy base, frees hostages. The art, drawn by the writer himself, is just above passable for an independent comic book, writing is boring and uninteresting. Honestly not much more to say here.2nd story - Ho boy, now we're talking. First the art. Since this particular story was the main push of the book (th...

Not quite my idea of good comics. Good bang for buck on page count, as far as crowd-funded comics goes, and I was happy to support one of my favorite Youtube channels, since I adblock. Also happy to help fund a lawsuit against someone who *has* made good comics, but decided to abuse his position against folk he doesn't like, so there's no buyer's remorse, here (except I backed one other project before reading this and it's followup, G0DK1NG).On the other hand, things get a little better with the...

Much ImprovedReview of the 1st Indiegogo paperback edition shipped during Feb/March 2019.Richard C. Meyer is in the forefront of the current crowd-funded independent comics/graphic novels movement. His primary YouTube channel called "Comics MATTER w/ Ya Boi Zack" (Ya Boi Zack being the name of Meyer's YouTube persona) has grown to almost 100,000 subscribers and 34 million views in the 2 years since its beginnings in April 2017. "Comics MATTER..." reviews comics and editorializes on the state of

Clearly a labor of love from someone who loves 1980's and '90's style comic book action.

exactly what it promises. 80s 90s style over the top action with plenty of beefcake and cheesecake. If you liked Image, DC or Marvel in the 90s, you will like this.

Classic superhero story. There are superheros, a bad guy, and some awesome battle scenes. I felt like a couple of things could have been added to make the plot a little smoother, but overall an enjoyable read. I couldn't help but laugh at some of the antics, and loved the twist on the giant ape. The bonus chapters at the end of the book were nice additions too.

It's exactly what it sets out to be. A good, solid 90's-style action superhero / mercenary story. Fantastic looking book that has one of the "coveted" display locations in my collection :) Recommended.

Imaginative, action-packed, comic book fun with cool characters and some great art. I enjoyed each of the three stories, but my favourite was "Lost Souls." This has been made with passion and love. I've already backed the next Jawbreakers book on Indiegogo.

Zack has shown true courage in the face of slanderous attack to almost personally bring integrity to the comic book industry.

Great story and enjoyed it. A true comic story.

A group of superheroes face off against a King Kong-scale ape only to discover they're pawns in a larger game where friends become enemies and enemies become friends. Tucked in the back are two bonus stories featuring a hostage rescue and the first part of story where our powerful (but B-level) heroes face off against a technological god-king, Incredibles style.I've been following "yaboi" Meyer since about June of 2018, as he excoriated the comic book industry for its various faults, and I think...

Very meh! Most of the artwork is good, good enough to pull it from 2 stars to 3 but the story just isn't strong enough. The story is all over the place and characters are thrown in with no notion of a point to them. The main team is weak and has no substance. All of this doesn't make for a terrible story but it's the bad cliches that do this, the only black character in the team is a 1970's caricature of a black man and none of the humour works, which changes it from funny to plainly racist. I s...

Lots of re-read potential here. Great action story with great art. Just what a comic book should be.

The first story is an especially fun sci-fi action romp, and even had some pretty funny lines. The romance does feel a bit too quick...as long as you ignore the actual motivations of Xaxi. I get the feeling people complaining about that just weren’t reading too carefully. Also, people complaining about Kuffz dialogue don’t know his backstory (a white collar criminal pretending to be gangsta because he’s insecure & wants to live out a childhood blaxploitation fantasy) which isn’t fully revealed h...

Great art in "Lost Souls," and good art in the other two stories. Cool comic.

I don't regret getting this because I want to support the indie comic scene and I think the the major companies have really let their quality slip. That being said this just isn't that good. I don't really care about the politics and the controversy involved, and while you can clearly tell it's written by someone leaning far in one direction, that's really not where it falters. The story is choppy and at times hard to follow, and despite the huge scale of events happening it all feels kind of in...

I’ve been a fan of the author’s YouTube channel almost from the beginning. His criticism of how, in his opinion, the comic book industry has changed for the worse in chasing more progressive politics at the expense of characters and stories. While I don’t agree with everything he mentions, you can see he is a massive fan of comics and that his criticism has made him some big enemies in the comic book industry. They challenged him to see if they could do any better. So, he wrote one (if you follo...

Strong 4. The main story, Lost Souls, assumes a little too much knowledge of the characters but is a solid, fun story with excellent art and colors. I like the G0D-KING story better as the characters are more fleshed out, so to speak, one gets a better sense of their personalities. Meyer writes as well or better than many professionals in the industry and it's a shame politics (literally) have gotten in the way of more readers discovering him.
