Reviews

[Chad · Rating 1 out of 5]

This is what happens when you let a teenage boy who is into heavy metal extrapolate a comic book from the labels of 3 Floyds beer or when Brian Azzarello and Simon Bisley create a comic after being completely blitzed on said beer. Absolutely terrible.

[Travis · Rating 1 out of 5]

This was terrible, I hated the fact that I spent money on this trade. These creators are capable of so much more.

[Benjamin Barham · Rating 1 out of 5]

The hype machine of FFF sends its tendrils out into text. A 128 page ad. They make good beer, but not good comics.

[Justin Sundstrom · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the ultimate example of a "guilty pleasure," something that you know is either silly, stupid/asinine, or just plain dumb fun. Something you do NOT take seriously in the SLIGHTEST. And 3 Floyd's Alpha King is pretty much all of those things. I can't imagine anybody taking a comic miniseries based off a BEER brand at all seriously. The best compliment I can give to this comic is that one could read the entire thing without realizing it's based off a beer brand of the same name (3 Floyd's). This is FAR from an advertisement disguised as entertainment.

Now sure, Brian Azzarello is CERTAINLY capable of a lot more than this, and it probably could have been better, but for something like this, all I ask is it entertain me. And this DID entertain me throughout. Never a dull moment here. Will I ever speak of this comic in the same breath as I do Preacher or WicDiv? Hell no. But if someone is looking for a time-waster with no real substance and just wishes to be entertained for a couple hours, I'd probably recommend this one. 7/10.

This was ridiculous, obscene, and insanely graphic. And I loved it.

A third of it didn't make sense but the other two-thirds made it hilarious and awesome to read.

It really captured the look and feel of 3 Floyds.

Would probably only recommend to fans of their beer. Maybe only some of the fans of their beer.

[Vasilis Fotsinos · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5/5

[Dustin · Rating 1 out of 5]

Absolute garbage

[Eugene · Rating 1 out of 5]

A waste of money.

[Variaciones Enrojo]

Comic de Azzarello y Bisley que al final no entiendo si ya se editó o no.

[Osku · Rating 4 out of 5]

A violent comic set in the world of 3 Floyds beer names. You'll bump into characters like Dark Lord, War Mullet, Zombie Dust, etc. Doesn't make much sense but it was drawn by Simon Bisley which is always a pleasure.
