Comic Review: Ehmm Theory #1

From the creators of DeathCurse comes Ehmm Theory #1, a twenty-four page black and white independent comic. Gabriel Ehmm gets killed by his girlfriend and wakes up to find Mr. Whispers, a cute kitten that he had gotten her, talking to him. Saint Peter arrives and explains that he needs to complete tasks before he can get into Purgatory. Technically, he is a ghost but he does not have any special abilities. Ehmm's first task is to find out why midget zombies are being created outside a small carnival town. They are teleported to the graveyard and battle a group of monsters before being saved by an old lady, who mistakes Ehmm as his father, Aaron. She agrees to help find him if he is still on this earth.

Ehmm Theory #1 by Brockton McKinney and Larkin Ford (Lost Story Studios) is a mix of science fiction (Saint Peter has an actual teleporter) and horror (midget zombies). While Gabriel is the main focus of the series and makes for a great hero, my favorite character is Mr. Whispers, the cute kitten (hey, the only reason why I watch the Shrek movies is for Puss in Boots). I give this issue an A+ because the art and story are both great. I highly recommend that you check out Ehmm Theory #1, which can be purchased at Indy Planet.
