Hank Howard, Pizza Detective (Bad Idea)

Post by Dallow Spicer1 »

On sale for 1 day only (Dinesh doing crazy stuff again but as always delivering quality :lol:) ...but worth the effort to seek it out.

VDitti and David Lapham (what a combination!!) give us a short story about a detective down on his luck who gets a corporate detective job at a Pizza place. Quirky and fun...hope to see more from this creative team. I’ve always thought VDitti would be well suited to writing detective books. I’d hoped he’d have done one for (real) Valiant back in the day.

Bonus 2nd Story!! ‘Save Now’

Thomas Giorello art (Larosa cover...sort of) and another creative story from Matt Kindt! Essentially the main character ‘Saver’ who is able to rewind time but can’t fast forward it. So when his task force fail at a operation they’re carrying out he can rewind time to a ‘save point’ anything between minutes and 30 years. But here’s the kicker ...however far back he goes ..he has to live that time again...so if he rewinds 10 years, he lives that time and ages 10 years!

No doubt more to come from these characters...4.5/5 :thumb:

I thought the Hank Howard storyvqas a complete yawn. Nothing whatsoever to grab my interest or make me me want to see more of the character.

On the other hand, the Save Now story was just the opposite. Very interesting concept and I can't wait to see where it goes.

Published in early May, for 24hrs only, it was probably meant to be some sort of FCBD-like issue from #BadIdea...

...as they wouldn't be able to participate in the actual FCBDay that is run by Diamond.

Possibly ...but it’d be a very generous FCBD giveaway ...launching a bunch of new characters and on premium stock paper.

VDitti already working on the follow up, Pizza Detective: the Counterfeiter’s Gambit! :clap:
