Love for El Gorgo!
Here's a smattering of reviews we've received for El Gorgo!:
First off, major thanks to Chris Sims for the fantastic writeup:
… So yeah, I flat-out love it, and if you’re into the type of things I usually get behind here on the ISB, then you’ll probably love it, too. But here’s the best part: Even though they’re selling hard copies of the first issue at the aforementioned $3.95, McGee and Jakab have offered up the whole damn thing as a free download JPG, PDF, and CBR. That’s right, folks: Three formats free of charge and a hard copy you can buy if you like it, which I’m pretty sure has officially taken the lead in terms of online convenience. …
Second, we've just gotten reviewed by a puppet. A PUPPET!
Truly, how awesome is that?
… El Gorgo calls itself “The World’s Most Awesome Comic Magazine” and it’s hard to deny that it’s at least in the top four, particuarly as it has a gorilla luchador. …
GORILLA+LUCHADOR+LOVECRAFT=100% AWESOME
It's....it's so beautiful I actually cried
You can catch a bit of Kirby in there as well, as far as storytelling and overall style goes. Truly, a masterpiece of our times.
… If you have any love for comics in your heart, you'll love El Gorgo. The comic crams a ton of awesome into a story in which Lovecraft's Dagon, Kirby-crackle and a super-intelligent gorilla luchador are only the beginning. And while it owes a definite debt to the Silver Age, the title avoids becoming a shallow imitation without sacrificing any of the fun; every time El Gorgo opens his mouth it's like listening to a happy-go-lucky Namor, and I can't wait to see more of a supporting cast that apparently includes a dog in a wrestler's mask. …
Thank you to everyone who's reviewed us so far, and all the emails we've received! There's more on the way!
