Better than expected!

Imagine taking a group of seniors to the woods in a trailer/bus and losing all six of them. I do still wonder why they all wandered off. It felt like they were on the lam though lmaooooo! Tyrone is hilarious, I'd like to add. When he sh*t on himself I about died a little. There's always a know it all in the group...and to think his memory is quickly deteriorating. And somehow, they were all connected to Hollywood at some point or another. The kicker is as they're seemingly lost in the wood and their carer is trying to find them something comes flying out of the sky just shy of them. Is it a bird, a plane or an alien monster?

This was page-turning good! I enjoyed the witty humor and dialogue among the characters and the artwork was dope too. Great pickup on on new comic good day this week.

I went into this cold and was pleasantly surprised. I expected something high fantasy and what I got was closer to Cocoon meets Godzilla in the best way. It was funny, interesting and the art was great. Definitely will continue to read this one.

Interesting hook, though it had to walk a bit to get to it. Along the way it felt a little trite, but the main idea is fun.

While the premise enticed me, the writing did not. Juvenile dialogue and incredibly forced exposition.
