Blink and You'll Miss It by Ethan S. Parker
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Weird, a bit macabre, aliens or beings of some sort, time travel, a prehistoric pelican, two in love lesbians, and a lot of cult activity… all this and more happens across this short series of five issues of Blink and You’ll Miss It. I am familiar with previous works by these writers and felt confident I’d enjoy the story; but wasn’t sure about the art. Thankfully, the illustrations by debut artist Keith Browning matched up nicely with the characters and peculiar setting. This BOOM! Studios story has twists and turns in places you may not expect; and by the end I was sad yet smiling… a bittersweet melancholy ending is perfect for an odd little mini series like this.
I’d love to see this as a short mini series, or movie. I think it’s very unique and could transfer really well to the screen. That said, I love the comic treatment here and will definitely be watching for more from everyone involved. BOOM! studios really is bringing us some of the most engaging and vivid horror comics that perfectly match the end of the world apocalypse attitude that seems to permeate everything right now.
