Comic Afterthoughts The Pull List (7/16/14): Doberman unchained
Posted By Andy Smith on Wed, Jul 16, 2014 at 3:23 PM
The move from TV to comics isn’t unprecedented, but writers Rob Rosell and Scott Marder have given themselves a tough act to follow as members of the It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia team. Doberman #1 comes from another collaboration from the duo, with writer Jack Lambert and artist Brandon McKinney tackling the ongoing duties on the book.
At first glance, it seems like that kind of cop movie that made the ‘80s great. It’s a revenge story, and its protagonist has a slight mullet, sunglasses and a six-pack in hand. In a release, Lambert says, “If Sylvester Stallone, Steven Seagal and Jean-Claude Van Damme had a child, Frank Doberano (aka Doberman) would be that bastard’s name.”
While this may inspire some hope for some of us, it’ll be interesting to see how this will appeal to younger readers in any way. McKinney’s art even reeks of the era. Take a chance on it this week, and let us know what you think.
