Lucas
In the backwoods farmland of Rural-Nowhere, USA, there is screaming, sobbing, then silence. A breeze washes over a sea of grass. One group of nameless, college-aged fodder becomes the plaything of The Family. Cannibalistic sadists. Evil and cliche all at once. The day retreats. Night falls. Amid the torture and terror a killer arrives. Lucas. Massive, resolved, the nightmare of nightmares. Over the remaining hours of the night Lucas usurps The Family''s reign. He overtakes their home, their routine, their confidence. He sends their twisted world into chaos, and one by one, the family bows to the finality of the judgment that comes against them!

I was disappointed when I first flipped through this book. You see, it is by definition a graphic novel per solicit copy, but it is a novel with graphics rather than the “sequential narrative graphic panel artform”, known to the unwashed masses as a comic book. Once I got past this disappointment (I pre-ordered it and was therefore obligated to purchase it), I sunk into this book like meat hooks into a corpse.
David Murdoch's script is The Texas Chainsaw Massacre premise set on it's head. You are treated to creepy crawly things and plenty of violence over the course of 88 pages. There are times when the story seems like a thinly veiled movie script pitch with painted artwork, and others where it seems to work as a graphic novel. Lucas has a few genuinely disgusting/creepy moments in it. The more open minded fans of a series like Crossed might want to give this book a shot.
This book has exceptionally thick coated stock paper which is pleasing to the touch. It is interesting how things are printed so thick that you can, at times, feel the words on top of the page. I felt like Matt Murdoch. The most unique thing about this printing process is that some of the paint splotches actually feel like a real painting, being raised above the page. Very strange but very, very cool.

Texas chainsaw massacre style horror.
Good color artwork. Arcana comics freebie. 14 pages. This would be easier to review if it was 32 pages. A lot of mood setting dialog. The horror is similar to texas chainsaw massacre? Once you reach a certain low it's hard to sink lower.

Fine idea, poor art and writing
The art is barely keying, and the writing is bare-bones and not parodied interesting. The whole book is basically just an idea, not a complete work of art.
