Blockbuster entry for the series

This book has mature content. Proceed with care.
A lot of books, shows and movies have been made on the subject of supernaturals, gods, archangels, lycans, vampires and everything else in between but this book starts with a googly. Being a great fan of graphic novels in this genre this small entree hits the sweet spot and swings the reader into the trees.
A census bureau for the unnatural, a desperate broke man and a job which pays makes for great fun. Very few characters in the small booklet but it has everything packed a contract, technology, supernatural beings, a young innocent and possibility of young love.
Tremendous reading.

A cool idea but maybe not the best application of it

Great Premise With Lots of Promise!

I haven't read a comic in a hot minute, but a friend recommended this one, and it sounded interesting, so here we are.

Liam Malone is a young man in desperate need of some cash. So when an opportunity comes along promising great pay with no experience, how can he say no?

As a census taker of the supernatural beings in NYC, Liam certainly has his work cut out for him. I love the endless parade of potential creatures he could encounter, I loved the clever dialogue, and the artwork is eye catching. I would have loved for it to be a bit longer, but that's the draw, right?

Three and a half stars I guess. A funny idea--a loser who can't find a job gets one performing a census in New York... a census on supernatural creatures. On his first day, he ends up meeting a bunch of succubi, with predictable (?) results. Kind of funny, ridiculous premise, light fantasy, not bad art. It's alright.

Counting the days for More

Wow this is pretty hilarious. I love the concept and I wish the first issue was longer but boy was it funny. Will be reading issue two soon and hoping there will be more coming!

Liam braucht dringend einen neuen Job. Bei der Arbeitsvermittlung bekommt er den Auftrag, alle übernatürlichen Wesen in New York zu zählen und befragen.

Super Idee. Bin auf die Begegnungen gespannt.
Mit nur 24 Seiten allerdings viel zu kurz.

Entertaining comic book. A little on the short side, but easy reading makes for some fun reading sometimes. If you want a casual comic book and are a fan of the genre, the 24 pages of this will prove good fun.

B+ Original & Funny

Really good job. Very entertaining with good artwork. A solid B+ One of the best Comixology Originals. I look forward to issue 2!

[Earnie Jordan]

Pretty good

I actually enjoyed this .
Unfortunately the others aren’t free.
This story could go on and on, with so much potential.

[Kari Cureton]

Very very clever! Laughed almost the entire way through!

[JJ]

I really liked the concept but this is really not my sense of humour. There is something distinctly edgy 20-something man about it and I am none of those things.

well, it’s original

A man with no real ambitions in life blindly accepts a job that he’ll soon regret. It’s creative and funny.

[Lucy]

The first issue has hooked me

The census bureau meets American Gods! The being on the bus was a nice touch. Interested to see where this goes.

[The Smoog]

Not the greatest of starts to a series, but it’s definitely an intriguing concept, so I'm willing to give the next couple of issues a chance.

[Mel]

Interesting

Not crazy about it but interested enough to see where this goes. I like the style of the art too.

[Brian]

Funny enough, although I read few comics for humor. I might pursue it sometime if I want an easy read.

[Astoria (Jax)]

I read all four parts that exist so far BUT I'm only making the first volume as part of my read for the year. It was interesting and I definitely hope more ends up being made in the future.

3.5 | nothing special, but nothing wrong with it.

[Adam]

Begining is almost a rip off of ugly americans


Beginning is almost a rip off of ugly Americans

Didnt find it very good, won't be continuing.

Three more words.

[Daniyal Ali]

It was fun little thing

It was fun little thing. Enjoyable and all. Will read the rest of the series. This is urban supernatural horror

[Katherine]

Interesting concept. A census of all aliens (demons?) living in NYC.

Fun read. Instantly interesting world building through the eyes of an "everyman" main character. Would've been interesting to see how he could have been fleshed out and developed over a longer run.
