Chaos #1
Published by: Dynamite Comics
Released on: May 7, 2014
Writer: Tim Seeley
Artist: Mirka Andolfo
Cover artist: J. Scott Campbell
Purchase at Amazon
Old favorites from the cast of Chaos! Comics come back again for some new exploits. Purgatori (a.k.a. Sakkara) is draining the blood of women in Las Vegas, even trucking them in from other areas, and a group of supernatural do-gooders called the Chosen are working to put an end to that. A werewolf, a zombie, a vampire, a necromancer and a demon make up the group, led by the werewolf who seems to be the oldest one. The rest are what appear to be late teens/early 20s. Meanwhile other familiar characters are around making their presence known. Evil Ernie is around doing his thing (killing); Chastity shows up to try to do her thing (killing), and Dr. Leonard Price makes a brief appearance for some as-of-yet unknown reason.
The Chosen intercept a delivery of girls bound for Sakkara to drink and find one of them has some sort of magic in her. They bring her back to their home base and find out she is definitely something more than just a traumatized, kidnapped girl. What she does puts the Chosen on the path for what they must do, and presumably on the path of what this series is to be all about.
You don't need to be familiar with the comics these characters came from in the 90s (well most of them anyway) to keep track of who is who, but it does help. This series has a big cast and looks to be multi-layered, with a number of stories going on at the same time, presumably to all mesh into one. It's tough to say the story looks like a good one at this point, but Tim Seeley has proven himself time and again, so one can imagine it will be a fun series. The artwork is great stuff, with Purgatori being Mirka Andolfo's standout for the issue. She draws the red-skinned, scantily-clad demon-vampire in a dead-sexy way, looking a lot like Rene Bond (70s nudie starlet) in one panel in particular. Like she drew it while looking at a photo of her.
This book moves fast and has lots to digest, but the characters are established already and that leaves time for the good stuff. All that development nonsense has already been done by someone else. Let's just get to the slaughter.
