Humans, The #1
Published by: Image Comics
Released on: Nov. 05, 2014
Writer: Keenan Marshall Keller
Artist: Tom Neely
Cover artist: Tom Neely
Purchase at Amazon
Fans of biker gang movies and humanoid primates fuggen REJOICE! Finally a comic book that meshes two goofy genres together to give the goons exactly what they want: a humanoid primate biker gang comic book. What could this possibly be all about? Does that even matter? Its apes on bikes, so no, it doesn't matter. Who gives a monkey crap what this comic is about? Just buy it. But if you do care, here's what issue number one does.
The Humans are a group of hell-raising motorcycle-riding apes who tear ass all across the west coast, somewhere between L.A. and San Francisco; somewhere outside Bakersfield to be un-exact, and in the fall of 1970. The Humans are mourning for the loss of their fallen brother Mojo and this very day they bury him in the graveyard.
After some words from the poet Marra, their leader Bobby gives the gang some rallying words and then it's party time. After pills, pot, beer, whiskey, a drunken Clyde with no pants, and a funny blow-job, the fun comes to an abrupt end at Mojo's grave when the rival gang shows up: The Skabbs. You know what this means…monkey fight (no poo-flinging though). Once the dust settles it's back to The Humans' compound to continue the celebration of Mojo's life and death, complete with live music from Smelly Tongues. But their jubilee makes them unaware that someone uninvited is looking to join the fun.
You will either love this comic or think it is absolutely stupid and not worth wiping with. This reader falls into the first group, as is probably obvious, and is in no way embarrassed by that fact. With the drugs, the sex, and the violence it's as close to underground comix as you're likely to get from a major comic book publisher, which is what this book feels like. It's wicked fun stuff.
Tom Neely's artwork is perfect for the subject matter and the way he lays out the fight between The Humans and The Skabbs results in four of the best pages in the book; almost as good as the blow-job page. And Keenan Marshall's sense of humor and writing style, at least in this book, really adds to the underground comix feel. So do the sound effects used and so does the lettering job for that matter.
You can't go wrong with this book. Unless of course you're wrong in the head and don't like talking apes that ride choppers, fornicate, drink and drug, swear like drunken senators, and beat up other talking apes. If that's the case, you will hate this comic.Posting comments is disabled.
