    GWW - B Ferg Apr 10, 2024

    In Monsters Are My Business #1 artists Piazzalunga and Brakko capture the crappy, out of control world that it feels like we're heading towards these days. Bunn's script employs Tanner Grisholm as an everyday, ornery hero recognizing another task as required. A vet whose already been through enough attempting to protect the last patch of land the monsters haven't taken. Whether this is an actual occurrence or only a comic really depends on which dotted line you sign your name. Read Full Review

    If you enjoyed any of the Count Crawley series (also at Dark Horse) or prefer the goofy interstitials of Svengoolie over the horror films he shows, this just might be the book for you. At least someone will be enjoying Griz's adventure . . . because I'm not so sure he might be. Read Full Review

    While it doesn't necessarily reinvent the wheel in terms of apocalyptic and kaiju hybrids, Dark Horse's newest original series does possess a good deal of charm. Read Full Review

    The cover struck me as the writer and artists have a fondness for the good old schlocky comic booky fun and I was right. It’s a story that doesn’t take itself too seriously, mixing some fun modern fantasy tropes and artwork that is giving me a sense of nostalgia for something I can’t quite pin it down.

    This is a fast food type of comic, fast pacing, lots of action and likable characters. Not much to think about but super fun to go through. It does a very good job at establishing its characters right off the bat with minimal text and space, something I love. It’s the sign of a good comic book right there. The plot is simple and it’s pieced together from well known tropes. Our hero, Tanner "Griz", his koala companion Cudd more
