Red 5 Comics is the best new publisher period. Too bad this is not their best book. The problem with parody is that all too often, people throw in too much. That’s why I don’t really go for the whole Airplane or Scary Movie thing. As a parody of Wanted, Abyss functions really well. In fact in that aspect I would call it pitch perfect. Problem is it is marred by all the pointless Scarface gags. It drags down an otherwise great book. There are some inspired gags here that take jabs at Superman, Batman, the Thunderbolts, etc. Knowing your comic history makes this a more enjoyable book. It did produce several audible laughs and that is hard to do for me. The pencils are fine. It is what I expect of a funny book, but the coloring. Who the hell let Top Cow’s digital coloring guys loose at this thing? It makes it very hard to look at. All in all, Abyss is almost a good funny book.
