Clandestino #3

   If you're looking for a great "B" movie in comic book form, you can't go wrong with Clandestino.

   It's the straightforward story of a man who has sacrificed his body to save the woman he loves from a grisly prison.

   Barely surviving some terrible injuries, he is nursed back to health by the beautiful Leena - but how long can he continue to fight against overwhelming odds?

   It's a rough-and-tumble, fight-for-your-life, bare-knuckles-and-brutal-fight-for-life all rolled into a powerful issue by artist / writer Amancay Nahuelpan.

   The question is, will Clandestino and Leena survive the attack that's coming?

   This is he first comic in a long time that I read the ending and I thought, "How the heck are they going to survive this?"

   Can't wait to see what happens next!

Clandestino #1

   I do love a good revenge story - and that's what Clandestino is all about!

   It's set in an alternate reality - one in which a renegade military leader - General Kapala - has managed a military coup against the United States, and has taken control.

   Of course, a rebel group rises up to fight back, and one of the key figures is a man known only as Clandestino.

   In this series, written and drawn by Amancay Nahuelpan, we get a few brutal action sequences, the setup for the series, and the events that motivate the title character to seek revenge on Kapala and his followers.

   It's a brutal, "B-movie" setup (and that's not an insult in any way), guaranteed to bring the reader back for more next issue.

   The art, like the story, is raw and visceral - Nahuelpan has a unique style that's perfectly suited for this story.

   If you're a fan of the dystopian, end-of-the-world (or sure looks like it) action flick, you should check out this series.

Grade: B+
