It Took Luke: Overworked & Underpaid

by Mark Bouchard, Bayleigh Underwood (Illustrator)

LA, 2028. Down-on-their-luck exterminator Sal Hernandez is sick of long hours and living in their work van. They’re ready to quit their job and reconcile with their estranged partner. The only thing standing in their way is one last shift. But what seems like a routine call quickly gets out of hand when a proselytizing mass of flesh abducts Sal’s newest coworker, Luke, and turns their extermination job into a rescue mission. Sal and their teammates, Molly and Hussam, are as experienced as they come, but will it be enough to overcome the horrific creature that waits in the shadows while simultaneously battling the incompetence of their boss? Wipe the viscera from your eyes and prepare to assimilate into the flesh in this queer adult debut graphic novella exploring crunch culture and its casualties.

The art style was a little hard for me personally, just the black and white can make it difficult for me to tell whats going on. I dont hate the story but unfortunatly its not the most interesting and because of the self implamented shortness theres not alot of room for anything.

**Comic**
Great monster design and cool environments. Unfortunately, the characters are a bit one dimensional and fairly unlikable for the most part. 3 Stars.
