[El Bastardo]

I contemplated picking that up at the comics shop yesterday, looked through it, and decided against buying it. I'd like to know what you thought of it in case I go out and buy it.
Well, I'll not spoil it for you, but I'd highly recommend you pick it up.

1. It's another good comic published by (if not created by) Aspen Comics. There's a slight bias there on my part, because I love the comics that company puts out. It's a nice change of pace from the same ol' inbred superhero tales from Marvel and DC (although I'm not bashing them, and certainly love them).

2. The artwork was fantastic. Guy named Francis Manapul who, if I'm remembering right, comes from the Top Cow talent pool. Great handling of the comics medium, too, with his breakdowns.

3. While this is the first issue and gets a tad itty bitty slow, like a lot of issues that have to set stuff up do, it's still rather fast paced. And it sets a great stage for the subsequent issues.

4. The story might not be wholly original, but it's a nice breath of fresh air. It's essentially and more or less the 1930s - roundabouts of 1935 - minus the Great Depression and no mention of escalation into World War II. There's more technology, almost at times a look of something relatively steam-punkish. The location is simply "The City," with three rival factions - The Order (church), the cops, and The Syndicate (organized crime). Good atmosphere that's furthered by the capable writing and above-mentioned set-up.

5. The writer, artist, and publisher aren't afraid to push buttons and bend envelopes. There's a lot of gore in this thing that you wouldn't see elsewhere. I mean, not that I'm selling the book on that premise, and it's not senseless violence for the sake of senseless violence. It's a scummy atmosphere, a violent atmosphere, and they don't pull any punches. And in my book, when a publisher/writer/artist has the guts to carry through with their vision and not hold back, that's a definite plus.

Personally, I think the issue was a great start. Maybe it's not Waid-level writing, or whatever, but the guy's a capable writer, has developed a great atmosphere with, even, a believable and likable character, and even makes his nods to good ol' gangster/mobster flicks and legends. I recommend picking it up, and don't let the $3.99 price tag scare you. It's an oversized issue with some extra random fun stuff in the back.
