Paper Rock Scissors n’ Stuff Wars #2
Paper Rock Scissors n’ Stuff Wars #2 http://www.zelphacomics.com/Comicbooks.html is a 20-page, Black and White, 4-issue limited series, fantasy comic created, written, and lettered by Luanga A. Nuwame, with art and front cover by Hugh Rookwood. Published by Zelpha Comics.
An
elite group of Scissors prepare to attack a small and isolated pack of papers.
The Papers
meanwhile muse over the Rocks apparent fear of being covered,
and revel at the possibilities a new and mysterious liquid stolen from the Plastics
offer. As these things go on the Rocks make some discoveries of their own to
the shock and surprise of a lone member of the Scissors. Elsewhere the Plastics
wait to see how things play out and the Anvils move into action!
I
can’t praise the originality of this story enough. Pitting Rock, Paper, and
Scissors against each other as disparate kingdoms each maneuvering to best the
other is pure genius! The addition of other kingdoms such as the Plastics and
Anvils only increases the possibilities and adds to the drama with
unpredictable outcomes! The interactions between the different characters and
keeping the rules of the game, such as Paper beats Rock by covering it, brings
a sense of ridiculous humor to the story that keeps it fun amid the plotting
and violence of battle! Hugh Rookwood’s art brings a polished look to the comic
that reminds me a lot of Evan Dorkin’s Milk and Cheese, and that’s a great
thing! Hugh manages to give these characters believable expressions and breathe
life into them with bold, simple lines with excellent effect!
