Review: Salvager Kain



I just read all three (so far) issues of Paul Sloboda's Salvager Kain. It's a comic book about a guy who's kicked out of this kingdom and has all his memory wiped out. My favorite so far is Issue three. Kain runs into the King of Snakes to kick out an army of women from the Snake's castle.
He has a very clean style, reminiscent of Dave Sim. I would say-- light comedy? dark comedy? Comedy Adventure might be more appropriate. Also, one of the nice details is his expressive use of comic book lettering. I find this amazing because I letter on computer (because I misspell stuff like "butterlies"-- I'm not changing it, I think its funny. Although I did correct it in the print version.)
So, check out some of the comic previews that you can download. Hopefully his mini-comic is at your local comic shop. And bother him about getting a paypal account or doing print-on-demand. Please. He lives in a place called "Carbondale" -- does this sound like a town where he has adequate comic book-related human contact? Ask him about his basement.
(Also, bother me about getting a paypal account and doing print-on-demand, too.)
