Starring Sonya Devereuax is a new comic about B-Movie Actress Sonya Devereuax and the massively low budget films she stars in.
Sonya Devereuax is exactly what it sounds like and comes exactly as described – a borderline brilliant satire/parody of scream queens and the horrible movies they become known for – and the even more horrible fans.
Like the fans that Sonya (the actress) encounters in the first few pages of the title. You know the type, the fans that ask logical questions of illogical decisions made in bad movies.
The books begins with Sonya at a con doing a signing, and then hosting a preview of her new movie, the rest of the issue is the actual movie: NAKED ARE THE DAMNED 2.
The script to this is solid, but it’s Brendon & Brian Fraim’s art that is the true star. It is not stellar earth shattering art, but it is clean, smooth, highly expressive and perfect for this story.
FINAL THOUGHT:
If nothing else, you will come away from Starring Sonya Devereuax #1 feeling good, and feeling that there was true love put into this book and this creative team had to have had fun with this.
RATING: 6.5 – Recommended – Worth the price of admission.
