stiricide's review against another edition

Picks up enough at the end for a third star, but it's a bit tough to get in to. I think the "cryptoids" were supposed to be "factoids", but they were mostly just a narrative distraction. I dunno, it was in the pile of unread comics so I read it. I probably won't chase down the rest.

Not bad, by any means, but it certainly didn't light a fire under me, either, since it's basically Hellboy Lite, and I'm not a big Hellboy fan, either.

Love Proof! This is the first book, the real origin story of the chupacabra that has been weaving in and out of the periphery of the story since her big storyline here ended. It also gives some background on the origin of Proof itself, and the history of cryptids, and backstory for both Ginger and Elvis. Personal favorite moment is when Ginger is sitting in the conference room, waiting for her new partner to arrive so they can be briefed on a situation, and Proof walks in and she tries to shoot him. Luckily, Leander made her empty her gun as soon as she got to the Lodge...though Proof would probably survive a bullet pretty easily.

It's the old 'fairytales are REAL! and REALISTIC! and GRITTY!' thing but i think this is about the best I've ever seen it done. If magical realism without the magic sounds good to you then definitely check this book out. I'm particularly fond of the way fairies are presented here, and I think the idea of having one of the main characters be a cryptid who's so cryptid he doesn't know if he's the last of his species or not is pretty genius.

This is a great series. Bigfoot as a well dressed gentleman working for the government was a brilliant take on the legendary cryptid.
This volume introduces the characters and establishes a status quo within just two main storylines.

new acquisition and read for me, this series is shaping up to be a lot of fun with a lot of mythological crossovers, crime fighting, and conservation all mixed in.
