Kult #2 of 4: Don’t Touch that Dial
Dark Horse Comics
Written by Jerry Barlow
Art by Iwan Nazif

Tell me if this sound familiar to you. The world we know is just an illusion, controlled by a main being and a group who work for it. A small group of people is looking for a person who can drop the vale and free mankind from the imprisonment, and they will teach this person to use a hidden ability to get this done. This person is just as lost as the rest of us in this illusion but has ideas of what’s going on but isn’t sure how or why things are happening. This person is a man and the main person who wants takes on the duty of protecting him is a woman who has feelings for him. Do the words: “Follow the White Rabbit.” ring a bell?

Now, having said that, let’s get into it. The art is nothing like the comparisons I brought up, so it made it more unique. The feeling that comes from it is more demonic and basic. I was very thankful for that. For the paneling, not as elaborate as other things I’ve seen from Dark Horse in the past but for this book it worked well. I read this and automatically saw the similarities of a certain movie I hinted at but there are enough differences to keep it interesting and to have me keep reading.

I’m a writer on top of what I do for this website and try to create new things. I never want to have something so close to another, rather famous and successful, franchise. Yet, I could keep going with this and see where they made it new. Instead of the controlling force being a machine, it was a group of ancient demons and the world is more dungeon feeling. The characters compare where they are as being in a maze (that came a little close to what I’m saying) but it was still more unique. I’d say pick up the first one and see the comparisons. If you liked the franchise, you’ll like this, in my humble opinion. I give this 3.5 caps out of 5.
