ARCHIVE: 253 pages
AWARD: FUNNIEST WEB COMIC OF THE YEAR FOR 2010
Happy NEW YEAR! I know this some late reviews and it is 2012 but needed to finish my comics on my list before the voting begins. I'm not sure that I believe but hey you never know... Today's web comic review is called How Unfortunate. I swear! It is not a fantasy comic. I think I got into a little pattern there. So on to the review...
PROS: This comic is funny and yet serious at the same time. Characters can die and become mutilated all on a whim. This comic will surprise you at what a character will say at any given moment. The main lead villain (if he's not dead yet, sorry I haven't had time to read the whole thing) is one the best villains I've come across in a comic. Finally a villain who became a billionaire in a believable way. He sales adult toys a gels! LOL--I'm for real! That was genius, shot out to the creator on that one. The woman characters are nice to look at and are written perfectly. It's in color! A nice size archive to boot and this DD template is way better.
CONS: This comic is on looooong hiatus. This comic does not always update as it says. You better fav it if you like it. It's not easy to find this comic in the slew of Drunk Duck comic titles unless if you remember it's name. Sometimes the comedy is a bit over the top and some pages can be way too chatty. Only those police station cliche pages are suspect.
LAST WORD: The Drunk Duck template is way better now but it's still not in the class of a good How unfortunate for you, that are just reading this comic now. This comic is a whole lot of fun. Some pages may make you speed read through them. Fortunately... that doesn't happen allot. It's rare when a super hero comic dares to be cutting edge, funny and violent all at once. Joe may get a bit carried away at times but you will enjoy the ride. This is one of those comics you-- have--to-- start-- from beginning to really appreciate what the creator is doing with these characters. Unfortunately this comic is on hiatus so unless if you haven't read the archive you may not want to visit this one right now .

| OVERALL SCORE: 7.0 CONCEPT: 9.5 How Unfortunate is a off wall action/comedy about two detective thrown into the insane and dangerous world of super powered beings. And (surprise, surprise) they have a hard time adjusting. A unique idea. ART: 8.5 The art style is different from any other comic I saw. Joe makes more of a attempt to draw backgrounds while most run away from it. His drawing ability while good-- and still improving is not polished just yet. COLORING OR SHADING: 9.0 His use of shadows and highlights are well above average and give his art work that extra pop. WRITING AND SPELLING: 9.5 The story is easy enough to follow (If you read enough of the archive) and consistent. Some pages are a little too wordy. Spelling and grammar seem okay. WEB PAGE LAYOUT: 7.5 Drunk Duck has improved there template but Comicpress template is still better. Don't get me wrong it works for what it's meant to do but if your new to this web comic you will be lost on who these characters are. If you know how to maneuver around DD you can find out what this comic is about but sometimes that option is not available. The Mature rating is easily found on the thumb nail to this comic. Sometime this template loads slow and sometimes you end up posting twice when commenting because of some glitch in the site. ENTERTAINMENT: 9.0 When I first saw this comic I was like it was just okay-- then when I saw some of the super powered females in action I was hooked. Joe really knows how write the dialog for them. The guys are okay and they have there spots when they shine, but the woman are almost always on fire. While this does not happen much. this comic does have those long wordy cliche pages coupled with those over excessive comedy moments when you say ENOUGH! h POST FREQUENCY: 1.0 this web comic is on almost a six month hiatus. So this score is now a lot lower then before. I hope the creator is okay. Before that this comic updated twice a week in color is which was above average and is better then most. Plus as a new reader you have 253 pages to start with. POPULARITY: 3.0 A page rank of 2 is okay but your not raising hell online. Also He's lost in the mix of Drunk Duck so this comic may not be known as much as it should be. Joe does get comments from yours truly and at least 5 others on each post. This is one of few web comics that I had read before and after I reviewed it. |
