Combining the elements of non-linear storytelling, action, monster horror, and a pinch of social commentaries of sorts, independent creator Ardie Aquino stretches his artistic imagination and creativity to decent results in Eddie: Imagination Corporation. Starting with the epilogue and accomplishing at the end, the creator pulls this a bit postmodern narrative trope in good fashion though he can expand that method if he continues to experiment further that one. This is fundamentally a nod of anything science fiction genre, with the dose of hilarity due to the creator’s distinctive humorous facial portrayals and the disproportionate physiological anatomical illustrations of the characters involved and even his views on monsters in general.
There are a couple of references here in The Matrix, virtual reality simulations, Aliens series, zombies, and even anything related to X-Men mutant stuffs. The subtle commentary of exploiting other peoples’ talents to gain more capital/profit and for the greater benefit of the few members of the elite is highlighted and emphasized as the true motivation of keeping action flowing and going.
Furthermore, action film tropes are applied to heighten the imaginative level of the ridiculousness to positive reading results.
Yes, there are some minor sequential paneling confusions the latter stages of this eighteen page comics, most particularly at the heat of the story which made yours truly slowed down a moment or reread those said pages to comprehend the littering Easter eggs or minute details I might ignore or pass-by. Okay, okay, this comic is a good read, nonetheless.
