Boy! O! Boy! I never knew there were lots of individual comic book writers and Artists apart from the Studio ones until I came across this and the other series of Comics recently. Well, I know Cyanide and Happiness and other comics are there but I'm not sure How they make money, this is a serious business I must say.
Theatrics is a Graphic Novel about Rudy Burns a Broadway actor in 1920's who has everything one could ask for but a robbery goes wrong and the man is disfigured. When the Broadway is all about good looks what would a once-successful actor do to revive his life? The story is more of a rag to riches but we are left with a cliffhanger because only half the book is released and I'm already waiting to read the rest.
First of all, this Graphic novel is wonderful, the artwork is mind-blowing and it is a Studio quality. With regards to the story for a comic, it is completely new and different. Such a pleasant read it was and Neil Gibson must have a lot in his kitty to offer. Looking forward to reading the second Graphic novel which would give us a closure. The story was pretty easy for me to get in and start reading. Rudy seems to be a very mysterious man. We do not know What's on his mind and that keeps the readers hooked to the Graphic novel. Let's wait and see What Neil Gibson and the team has to offer in the future publications.
Happy reading :)

Aw, man! Seriously?
This was only the first е_? Just when I was hooked.
This was a great story - very inventive and something I didn‰ЫЄt expect. And the art was great noir.
I‰ЫЄll be looking forward to the next one.
Thanks to NetGalley, Diamond Book Distributors, and TPub for a copy in return for an honest review.

I received this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
4 out of 5 stars.
Rudy, a famous movie star who is also pretty, gets mugged after leaving a speakeasy in the 1920's and he was hurt very badly so he lost all of his good looks. Now, Rudy has to navigate through life with working on his career because he can no longer rely on his looks to get him by. I really liked Rudy's character development throughout. I was engaged in the story the whole time. I can't wait until volume 2 is released! I really want to know what happens next!

First things first: I received this book through NetGalley.
This one was a brutal one. But I really enjoyed and liked the story a lot.
The characters were interesting. The artwork was stunning. I had a really good time reading this.
I didn't expect the end, tho. I didn't know there was going to be another part.

Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This comic is about a sunny-boy in 1920's New York city. He's an actor and apparently quite successful too, but he gets robbed after having had a bit too much to drink. Unfortunately, him fighting back means the robbers use a crowbar on him which messes with his good looks so he loses his job, money, status, and girlfriend - one after another (no, she didn't leave him because he's poor, she's the money in the realtionship in fact).
The only person he can count on is his nephew and he has a weird idea to get them back on their feet that leads to the world of underground fighting.
The art and story were OK but nothing special. Maybe one has to read more than this first volume but I'm not sure I'll continue. It's really not a bad story but a bit too generic for me. The art was appropriate in that it equally reflected the MC as a dandy at the beginning and as a Mr-Hyde-like monster later.
