Footprints Reviews

If you ever wanted to find out what it would be like if Alan Moore wrote Hellboy in the same general style he did Watchmen...Footprints follows Bigfoot in much the way the early issues of Fables followed the Big Bad Wolf. You don't know why Bigfoot became a private investigator except that the story felt like putting him in that role. And then he has to solve the mystery of what's been happening to the cryptoid community. Tries to make bold statements about the 20th century. Fails. Current Batman writer Scott Snyder provides an introduction, although he unwittingly reveals what kind of experience you're really headed for when he begins by explaining how he used to watch a bad Bigfoot special on TV all the time, and he got hooked on it. That's what this basically is.

There are some likable things here: the completely surreal premise of the series, the character of the Jersey Devil, and there is a pretty solid plot. Unfortunately, it's not all that engrossing...it took me a week or so just to read the hundred-or-so pages. And the grayscale art is occasionally fantastic, but occasionally a muddy mess. Overall: fair.
