Moonstone Entertainment, Inc. announces that the wildly eclectic,
genre busting comic 'ROTTEN' from writers Mark Rahner and Robert Horton
and Artist Dan Dougherty continues to receive accolades and notice,
this time from writers at the Comic Book Bin (
http://www.comicbookbin.com/)
.
Writers for the comic book centered site instituted their own awards
this year. Calling them 'The Binnies', writers established several
comic book oriented categories and then chose the winners for each
category. ROTTEN was named as one of the six winners of Best New or
Mini Series for 2010. Comic Book Bin writer Pat Oliver selected the
Moonstone title for this recognition and wrote-
I quite liked Rotten (Moonstone) this year. Created by
Mark Rahner and Robert Horton, with artwork by Dan Dougherty, it
evoked memories of the old TV series Wild Wild West, and was a nice new
twist on both the western and zombie genres. Its two main protagonists
are likeable, ethical men and experts in their own fields. One may be
more cerebral than the other, but neither is a stranger to action, both
being army men. It is a many layered comic book. For instance, it can be
read as a good adventure horror story with thriller elements, or it can
viewed as holding up a mirror to events in Modern society. Zombie
Detective piece or political allegory, either
This excellent description and recognition of this trail
blazing tale exploring new frontiers in both genre and comic
storytelling is the latest in a series of compliments and praise for
ROTTEN and its creative team. Others include-
"A super-cool approach." FANGORIA
"A must-buy ... 5 George Romeros out of 5." Ain't It Cool News
"One of the strongest and strangest concepts I've ever heard, executed with horrific precision." ED BRUBAKER
"It's Deadwood by way of Stephen King. It's Undeadwood. It's witty, it's disturbing, and it's a must-read." MARK
WAID
ROTTEN is a multilayered event that at times
is a western, a zombie tale, a detective story, an exploration of
conspiracies, a horror masterpiece, and even a satirical comment
on modern politics. This fantastic comic adventure is now available in
trade paperback from Moonstone! Order from your favorite comic
retailer today or order directly from Moonstone Entertainment, Inc. at http://www.moonstonebooks.com/
