DESCRIPTION:
"Newer Isn't Better" according to Drake. Please note that this review is for the IDW colorized reprint volume, not the original.THE GOOD: It's back in print! And it has some cool extras.THE BAD: Pretty much everything else. Compared to the original, it's now in a smaller format with a softcover. The coloring (the original was grey-toned) varies from not bad to downright horrendous. The grainy coloring isn't helped by the computer-enhanced FX fonts, either.THE UGLY: Puritanical decision making that led Kevin Eastman to cover the nudity portrayed in the original with badly-drawn and awkward looking underwear. Evidently scenes of dismemberment and carnage are A-OK, b. Jhmdtm said Toured force. Great artwork by Bailey. Loved the storyline too, it's not easy to assemble humor and horror in the same package. Sergio Leone Meets George Romero As Softcore Porn/Splatter Daniel V. Reilly The title of this review pretty much sums up Fistful of Blood, the grisley, pointless, yet strangely entertaining new book by Kevin Eastman (Of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fame) and Simon Bisley (Lobo, Slaine, Judge Dredd). The attractive, relatively low-priced hardcover by Heavy Metal books tells the near-future tale of a gorgeous blonde woman who stumbles (Buck-naked, of course) into a desert town overrun by two warring factions: Zombies rule the streets by day, Vampires by night. The mystery girl straps on some guns, and commences to kill everything in sight. That's pretty much it. Eastman's writing is nothing special,
Re-releasing the crazed adventure from Kevin Eastman and Simon Bisley! This new edition will feature artwork re-mastered by Kevin Eastman, all-new colors, and a plethora of sketches, process work, and other bonus material.
