Welcome to my favorite new comic book of the Summer! It may not be the best, but it is my favorite.

DOLLMAN KILLS THE FULL MOON UNIVERSE!

Yes, Brick Bardo is back and bad ass as ever.

To any Full Moon Fans (and perhaps Cult Movie Fans), Brick Bardo needs no introduction. For others, here’s the skinny – Brick Bardo is an alien cop known on Earth as DOLLMAN because he’s only 13 inches tall. He originally debuted in 1991 in the Full Moon Features film DOLLMAN played by Tim Thomerson.

This first issue consists of two stories: the 20-page feature Out of the Box and the 5-page Familicide.

I will tackle Familicide first. In this story Brick Bardo sets his sights on Head of The Family. This story is the weaker of the two, but still lives up to the title of the book: DOLLMAN KILLS THE FULL MOON UNIVERSE!

At only five pages it is very fast paced, feels a little choppy and page three seems weird. The artwork is nice, even if Brick doesn’t quite look like Tim Thomerson.

Overall it’s a nice back up piece to the main feature.

OUT OF THE BOX is where Full Moon Fans may go nuts.

This main story features DOLLMAN versus DEMONICS TOYS! Yep!

This is a very solid piece with good artwork and a script that delivers. Shawn Gabborin uses the twenty pages of script he has very well, telling a story of four idiots looking to bring for the Demonic Toys Master and gain incredible power.

Of course it goes wrong and DOLLMAN shows up!

You can probably figure out the rest – it’s right there in the title!

The #1 thing this #1 issue does it showcase that the Full Moon characters from their movies all exist in the same reality. Brick goes after Demonic Toys (again) and Head of the Family in this issue.

What’s next? If the blurb at the end of Familicide is true one of the stories in #2 will see Bardo face off against the little terrors from PUPPET MASTER!

FINAL THOUGHTS:

If you are a Full Moon Fan, Horror or Cult Movie Fan there are three things you need to do:

1. Find your closet Comic book Shop (If you don’t already know it)
2. Walk, Drive or find some way to the shop.
3. Part with $4 and change and BUY this title.
4. Go home, read, enjoy.

Of course, if they don’t have any copies of DOLLMAN KILLS THE FULL MOON UNIVERSE!, let Brick Bardo know and he’ll deal with them.

RATING:

Familicide: 6
Out of the Box: 8

Overall: 7.5

DOLLMAN KILLS THE FULL MOON UNIVERSE! Is REQUIRED reading.
