For a book called “The Beef,” there’s surprising little meat to it.<\/p>\n
Somewhere between a fever dream and doodle pad comes this series from Image Comics, and sadly, it delivers as little quality as you’d expect from a modern Image Comics title. The story, if you can call it that, centers around a Hulk-like character that has turned into a monster.<\/p>\n
Why? Because meat is bad, kids. It can make you into a monster.<\/p>\n
This type of nonsensical theology is the core of this title. And the art is worse.<\/p>\n
At no point does this comic look like a professional offering from a top comic book company. Instead, everything about it screams that it’s something you’d reject from an unknown in Artist Alley at your local con. Detail? Backgrounds? Solid storytelling? Nope<\/em>. You’re going to get art that looks like little more than outlines filled with the most basic color pallette.<\/p>\n Oh yeah – there’s also a lot of story filler about how hard it is being an illegal immigrant in the United States. It’s almost as if everything is set-up to work against illegal immigrants. It’s almost as if… they are doing something illegal. Odd<\/em>.<\/p>\n If this review seems a little lean<\/em>,\u00a0<\/em>it’s because you are what you eat and this book left me starving<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For a book called “The Beef,” there’s surprising little meat to it.
