Specs #2

by David M. Booher, Chris Shehan (Illustrator)

Cover by Skylar Patridge. In this Stranger Things meets Stand by Me story from House of Slaughter artist Chris Shehan and writer David M. Booher (All-New Firefly), the Magic Specs were far more than Kenny and Ted signed up for. Given their unwillingness to acknowledge the dangerous consequences of their recent wish, what does this mean for their victim, and what do they do with the glasses moving forward? Kenny fears that all of this may affect his and Ted's relationship… and wonders if they'll truly remain just 'friends.'

Crap. I really wanted to like this story. Totally a wasted issue.

Escalation.

[Leslie Carnahan]

This title really surprised me! It has me hook, line and sinker! Highly recommend this spooky comic!

Mejor desarrollado que el anterior, pero siento que aún le falta algo, siento que no había mucho interés y los creadores se fueron por lo seguro, y tengo miedo de que la historia se vuelva predecible a este punto.

Better developed than the previous one, but I feel like it's still missing something, I feel like there wasn't much interest and the creators played it safe, and I'm afraid the story will become predictable at this point.

#2- ".. You're under arrest."

Specs, by Booher
Fun story set in 1987 about two young guys who discover a magic item (in this instance, a pair of spectacle glasses, like a genie lamp, or Bilbo's ring, etc of folklore and fantasy). A simple story told well makes it an enjoyable read. ***
