For this week’s comic recommendation I’m updating you guys on the follow up issues of Bob Howard: Plumber of the Unknown. It’s been a year since I mentioned the first one and there’s been 3 more since then!
In the second issue Bob tries to break free from the mess he dealt with in the first issue and now he’s trying his hand at other employment opportunities. It’s funny that Bob would want to escape a life of horror monster yet he’s babysitting children. Things don’t go as planned when his calling to take on the unknown wreaks his attempt at normalcy.
In the third issue Bob takes a job as a theater usher. This issue is a build-up for something bigger in Bob’s life.
The fourth and latest book is now my favorite of the series, we see a movie-esque view about Bob’s life and it gives us readers the story behind how he became the man he is today. It’s light on the humor and a little grim but that’s what I loved about it.
Rafael Nieves and Dan Dougherty brought together an inventive series through their imaginative stories and whimsical art work.
The thing I love about Bob Howard is he’s not a typical hero. He’s a working class guy who is great at conquering beast from the beyond. I’m happy that Bob’s story is progressing in his history which is making his character even more interesting.
