JACK AND LUCKY #1
($2.00 from Anthony Hon,
www.motenai.com)
This seems to be the beginning of a Hollywood-style loser-boy-meets-hot-girl sort of story that would probably appeal to young males everywhere. I can easily see it as a movie or a sitcom. What the reader knows right away is that Jack can't seem to score with women and that he's got a pretty juvenile, hormone-addled view of them. Also, his cat, Lucky, is humanoid, maybe seven feet tall and 300 pounds (I expect a "that's a lot of pussy" joke to show up at some point). The comic is slickly drawn (maybe too slickly at times) with lots of pop culture references, a little manga influence and its fair share of Frank Cho-style T&A. Anthony also sent the
Motenai Comics Sampler ($1.50) which includes, among other things, a preview of
Jack and Lucky #2.
