I'm not a fan of the TV series "Supernatural" this is based on - I bought this since this is a number one of something I never read before and I didn't know it was based on the TV show.
This is a prequel to the TV show and a sequel to the comic book series "Supernatural: Origins".
This issue starts by showing us that the dad of the two main characters from the TV show (which are kids in this issue) is killing supernatural creatures and he tries to maintain a day job but gets fired and gets evicted from his motel room so he decides to drive with his kids to his uncle.
He goes to where his uncle works and discovers that he disappeared and goes to investigate near the place his truck was found and drives to a small town where he finds the uncle that acts in a weird way.
They meet again afterwards in a local bar where the uncle talks to him more freely but his wife comes to take him home.
The dad is a widower, and some lady at the bar hits on him and he pushes her away but she falls in an exaggerated way - it seems too much of a distance to reach just because of a shove. A kind of shove where you'd probably get sued for but lucky for him all the women at the bar then start hitting on him and they look like his dead wife and we discover they are supernatural creatures and he murders them all with a sword he found in the pub.
He discovers they are creatures that seduce men and keep them around until they are bored with them and they murder them.
He drives to his uncle's house and finds his body decorating the staircase and that his wife killed him, and she tells him his uncle talked too much and that he knows too much about their plans for him and the kids.
He asks her about Mary (his dead wife) and she tells him it wasn't about her and she asks him if he doesn't think his boys need a mother, and he kills her and returns to the car (with a lot of blood on his clothes) where his kids are, but I guess his kids are too busy playing Pokemon on the DS to notice all the blood or are used to it.
After that we see a mysterious woman entering the bar and asking the dead girls about Winchester and one of the creatures which is dying tells her what happened and the mysterious woman tells her she means Sam Winchester (one of the kids) and not the father and the issue ends.
Not very interesting and I guess the mysterious woman is the dead wife...
He kills supernatural creatures far too easily - in the beginning he goes to where a giant wolf is eating and I guess it's a werewolf and he somehow doesn't hear or smell him, and he manages to shoot him and doesn't change his bloody shirt and wanders off to work.
The drawing is good but the there is a "word balloon" which is a torn part of a notebook that looks bad and it turns to a thought balloon near the end of the issue, example: there is a panel where his head is in some lady's bosom and that "word balloon" says "can't breath" - I doubt he wrote that down in a notebook.
The blood is colored using the computer meaning it's in the same shade of color, and the sprayed blood looks like someone used the MS Paint program and used the spray can.
There are onomatopoeias in use here and they took me out of a suspenseful issue - I'm not a big fan of them but if they are used I prefer to avoid writing "knock" in a panel of someone knocking on a door, or coloring it in a color that doesn't suit the tone of the issue - green.
There is violence and boobies - shooting creatures in the head, dismembering creatures, ripping open someone's body and using it to decorate the staircase etc, and the creatures are women that seduce men so they have large breasts and like cleavages, so if that bothers anyone...
I'm not a fan of the TV show and I don't intend to buy the continuation of this series since things happen far too easily and I'm not interested in the mystery.
