Humpty Dumpty by Billy Majestic

ISBN: 978-1-61377-068-9
Graphic Novel 88 pages
First off, let me say this book is amazing in graphic detail. The artwork is OUTSTANDING and almost photo-like in several scenes.
This graphic novel was advertised as graphic in content and the reviews rave about the depravity of the story line. One reviewer goes so far as to say, ‘how do people think of this stuff?’ Another: ‘this is sick.’ So, with reviews like that, I had to buy and I must say, I was disappointed. Did I buy the PG version by accident? I must have due to the back cover stating what I could not find in the book. The basic story line was in there — and when I say basic, I mean basic story.
UFO crashes, hillbilly kills all the males, rapes the female (who has a hand type of tongue but doesn’t defend herself with it) and takes her captive as his girlfriend. Sheriff gets wind of the cash, goes to investigate. 4 months later, alien chick is pregnant and disguised as a dog escapes and pops out an egg-shell shaped baby. A crazed egg with massive teeth and later…wings. Government agencies show up, capture the egg and end of story.
Judging by the hype and the fact a movie version is coming out, I really expected more. A decent story line with a few sub plots would have been nice and this comic could have been a serial of four or five books. I will watch the movie, but hope it’s better than the book.
We’ll see.
