With Halloween on the way and everyone getting into the spooky spirit, this is the perfect book to add to your pull list. I am excited to see where this comic goes and how it will continue to play with horror tropes, particularly the “outcast revenge fantasy.” Poser #1 captures a lot of the genre nostalgia for the 1980s that is popular right now in shows such as Stranger Things or the movie IT. This comic is great fun and feels like a nod to slasher films like Friday the 13th and more recently, Scream. Between McCormack’s coloring, Garbark’s art and Esposito’s creative lettering of the lyrics the scene was vibrant and energetic. Outside of the opening flashback, the club scene was visually my favorite aspect of the book. I appreciated a lot of the more creative panels when the band was singing on stage. In addition, McCormack’s art is stunning. I cannot speak highly enough of Garbark’s coloring. The coloring change from the flashbacks to current/modern day is drastic enough to catch the readers attention and helps to illustrate the time change within the story. We cut to years later with a similar group of teens in modern-day Redondo Beach enjoying the punk scene but not before something similar goes terribly wrong. The teen later kills one of their own in a dramatic death leaving the word “poser” in blood. ![]() The story begins with a group of teens bullying and threatening a teen often calling him a poser. Here we are introduced to the first Poser killer and dramatic color palette reminiscent of the 1980s setting with a focus on neons and cool tone purples. The comic takes place in Redondo Beach, CA but begins with a flashback to 1982. ![]() Check out this and many other products on Waxwork Records website and follow along with news, announcements and more on their Twitter and Facebook accounts.Poser #1 is a throwback to 1980s punk culture with a modern twist. With POSER, Waxwork Records puts a new twist on a subgenre that has been around for decades, this time setting it within the underground world of the punk rock scene. The second climactic track, “The Gig”, fits the same formula as the theme, starting with heavy bass cords and screaming guitars riffs which slowly evolve into a synth-driven dream. The theme itself starts with full-on guitar riffs slowly melding itself into a catchy synth-rock classic. POSER’s musical accompaniment by Joel Grind (Toxic Holocaust) is an astounding mix of punk rock meets John Carpenter with a dash of Tangerine Dream thrown in for good measure. People who have availed themselves of other offerings in Waxwork’s comics line know that each issue comes with a companion coloured 7-inch vinyl soundtrack. Includes unlimited streaming via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality downloads of Don't Disturb My Waking Dream, Haunted By Your Bloodline, The Return of the Pumpkin Witch, Repeater Taxx, Softer, Sike Jaz, Fast Fashion. Clay McCormack has expertly illustrated this issue with a gritty punk rock feel to the characters and just the right amount of gore to catch the eye of horror fans.

In this first issue, the story by Matt Miner is engaging and sets out a great blueprint for upcoming issues, hopefully expanding more on the backstory of the “Poser” himself. Has the killer returned to slash his way through Redondo or is this just a copycat? A night of music and fun takes a turn for the worse as a clubgoer is found murdered in the washroom with the words “Poser” written in blood on the wall. The story then flash forwards to the present, when Ashley, who works at her dad’s record store, is talked into attending a free concert with at a club called “Deep Red” (a nod to the horror film classic by Dario Argento). A mob forms which eventually tracks the killer and chases him to the edge of a pier, where he ends up in the water below. Later that night, two punks are found hung to death with their innards out and “Poser” written in the pool of their blood. Written by Matt Miner and illustrated by Clay McCormack, POSER starts with a group of punk rockers partying on the beach who are approached by a kid who wants to hang with them, earning him their derision and a catcalls labeling him a poser. Long thought to be an urban legend, a killer is back to make a slash in the heart of Los Angeles. Now the company has returned with an all-new original story called POSER, a horror and punk rock-themed multi-issue comic book series set in the underground music scene of Redondo Beach. Waxwork Records are starting to build up their comic book line, which so far includes the anthology based comic House of Waxwork.
