Mr. Emergency: Special Edition

From the random stack of unread comics. No idea where I got this 2007 minicomic freebie.

Title: Mr. Emergency: Special Edition
Publisher: Archetype Media / Wade L. Busby (archetype14@hotmail.com)
Date: 2007
Writer: Wade L. Busby
Artist: Wade L. Busby, Ron McCain Jr.

Eight-page half-sized b/w minicomic freebie. In this case, a numbered limited edition.

The vibe here appears to be action/espionage comedy. The first two pages are bits of the story presented with commentary by the creators and main character. There is an irreverent and comedic feel to it all, but it's a bit disjointed and the art is shrunk down to a size that really doesn't do it justice.

This is followed by a reprint of a very early incarnation of the title character by artist/writer Wade L. Busby. The book finishes up with a nice collection of concept sketches by Ron McCain Jr.

This felt like it had potential, but it just didn't give me enough to really leave me with a good idea of what any of it was all about.

Rating: 4.5/10
