Dark Sights

From the random stack of unread comics.

Title: Dark Sights
Publisher: Against Studios / No Name Press
Date: 2005
Writer: Tom Lin
Artist: Amie Key

This is the companion comic to Dark Signs (reviewed here). The focus here is on a homeless man traumatized by a past encounter with demonic forces. There is a lot of time-jumping, plus a cliffhanger ending, and the result is a plot the feels disjointed. It does capture the main character's disbelief and doubt of his own memories nicely, and the demons have a distinctive and creepy look.

There are also some super-powered characters who emerge to battle the demons, but not much is given in terms of their story.

This book has a nice look, but it didn't give me enough story to really hook me.

Rating: 4.5/10
