LIMBO #1
(W) Dan Watters
(A/CA) Caspar Wijngaard
Publisher: IMAGE COMICS
A detective with no memory, no identity and no manners. A femme fatale seeking escape from a powerful crime lord. A voodoo queen with a penchant for mixtapes and hi-tops. A goat-eating TV…Welcome to Dedande City, where good people check under their beds at night and reality is never quite what it seems.
A NEW surreal neon-noir series crossing 50s pulp with an 80s VHS visual aesthetic drawing from the likes of Carpenter, Cronenbrg, and Lynch.

I have never even heard of Zen The Intergalactic Ninja and I´ve read comics over 30 years. That says something about popularity, I think. Quick search reveals hes from 1987, so Im not surprised they are bringing him back because its happening everywhere now. Hollywood has over 90 rehashes of 80´s & 90´s movies in production, maybe five of them actually something thats needed or wanted.
Well I was on the fence about Limbo, not because I wasn’t interested, but because it was a limited series and I just planned on trade waiting. However, your reviews have pushed me to consider picking this up monthly, it definitely sounds right up my alley.
Do you think that this a series to pick up in single issues or to trade wait?
Thanks for the episode.
That’s a good question. I think the monthly slow burn will be worth it, but I also think that the month between issues mean that you might forget what came before… If you are someone that likes to read everything in one burst, then the trade might be the best option for you.
Thanks Stephen, I read a healthy mix of monthly releases and trades.
Regardless of what I decide I’m going to grab the first issue.
let me know what you think!
I ran out and picked this up on my lunch break and holy crap I love it! Definitely month to month read quality. I’m really glad I gave this one a chance, well worth it.
If you are on the fence on Limbo, take this random word for it, READ IT!
