SYNOPSIS
When professional soldier Timothy Vance receives information from
someone claiming to be his long-lost father, he takes a trip to out-of
the-way Harbor Moon,
in thirty years and pretty soon Tim’s life is in danger. Fighting for the
truth and his survival, Tim discovers that Harbor Moon is harboring a
secret.
The entire town is werewolves and the man he was looking for
may be just like them. Just as a ruthless band of werewolf hunters
descend upon the town, Tim must decide whether he is going to stay
and fight or turn his back on what he really is.
A HISTORY OF HARBOR MOON
Harbor Moon,
O’Callaghan. Being the sole survivor of the massacre at his family’s
ranch, the young boy set out in search of a town far enough away that
he could just escape… Along his travels he met other people like him
and together they built what has become a self-sustaining community
in the far reaches of the North East. Harbor Moon is home to less than
600 residents who make their living raising cattle or operating
businesses that cater to members of the town. Although crime is
almost non-existent, their Sheriff also acts as the de facto mayor. John
kept a journal about what happened to him and his vision for the
town, and currently this tome is on display at the Harbor Moon library,
connected to the schoolhouse. Arcana Studio – Publisher
So what is the story about? Well,I think the above gives that away! The story runs smoothly and is good with enough mystery and twists to keep anyone interested in the horror genre happy –a future turned-into-movie book? Why not –we can always do with another well-written werewolf film! Bryan Anderson’s story has been well rendered by Ryan Colucci and Dikran Ornekian –they done good.
Now,the art. Pawel Sambor and Nikodem Cabala [supporting artist] have also done good. There are places where I thought the panel art didn’t quite click but these were few and far between. Hey,drawing a graphic novel ain’t easy,you know. Overall it looks okay,not the standard generic comic style so you have to give points there.
What I think makes the work very striking is the use of colour. Bland,almost washy in places and then huge eruptions of colour –but “subtle eruptions”! It’s always hard to try to explain artwork so check out the pages below!
