review:

'The Field' written by Ed Brisson and with art by Simon Roy is fast and over the top. It has some strange twists and turns, but I ended up liking it.



An amnesiac wakes up in a field in just his underwear. Nearby, a phone starts ringing and sending him text messages from someone unknown. The first message warns him about getting in the car that's coming for him, but he finds himself getting in the car anyway. He finds himself in the company of a crazy person who thinks the underwear clad guy is important. The story gets violent and strange before it's done with a crazy Bible salesman, bikers and violent Trekkie cosplayers.



It's a fun ride and I liked it, but it doesn't complete in these first four issues. Where the story is left is a little disatisfying, but I'd read the next volume. The art is a bit garish, but that totally fits the over the top story elements. Violence and profanity abound, so reader beware.



I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Diamond Book Distributors, Image Comics and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
