Animalheads

by Son M., Sam Curtis (Illustrator)

Animalheads by Son M. and Sam Curtis is a slam-dunk of an action thriller graphic novel! Brought to print for the first time by Dark Horse in collaboration with Tapas, the revolutionary digital comics platform.

When four best friends enter adulthood with no job prospects and the insatiable pressures of family hanging over them, they get creative—the more dangerous the gig, the richer the reward.

What starts off as a part-time venture scaring people quickly spirals out of control, pulling them headfirst into a waking nightmare when they unknowingly cross a violent crime syndicate. Now, their survival is on a knife’s edge as they become the newest outfit in the criminal underworld.

This was alright. It's about 4 kids that graduate college and kind of fall into becoming criminals. It's all centered around this one event that they dance around for 300 pages. Just get to the point already. It's like a lot of manga in that way so that it's drawn out to end with a big reveal. The art's solid but I didn't like the panel structure frequently. They were too small and chaotic to tell what was happening in them.

A bit messy (wish Dark Horse had cleaned it up when they printed it) but I loved a lot about this and the art style is great. Will definitely read more!

4.45 stars. This was wild. I loved all of the individuality that the characters showed and how their dynamics worked it was fun to watch play out.
