Horror Comic Review: Chad Joneses "Netherworld"









Created and written by Chad Jones, the horror/sci-fi comic "Netherworld" tells the story of militaristic government types who abduct a research scientist and pair her up with others for a covert mission to a neighboring planet where the planets inhabitants have suddenly all died. Making matters more complicated, is the fact that the group executing the operation of going to the planet to retrieve a destructive weapon...represents us here on Earth. The comic is set in the distant future where us earthlings now have a working treaty with alien races on other planets, a shaky one at best though. And the lifeforms which inhabit this planet, called the Thanati...are an alien race who have had their share of battles with earthlings.

In fact paralells can be drawn between the Thanati in this comic and the Islamists which exist in America's reality. Like outgoing Bush administration, the earthlings in this film who are in control of organizing the mission to the Thanati planet see the Thanati's as nothing but monsters, killers, and the like. With little to no room for understanding, dialogue, or any sort of action that negates demonizing and or attacking the Thanati people. Indeed, in the late stages of the first issue, and the early stages of the second issue...it's not hard to see why the relationship between the two species is so complicated, strained, and volatile.



The comic has some very well written characters, which are a joy to read about in the first two issues we were privy too. The team sent to the Thanati peoples planet are a very diverse bunch, which make for some interesting, sharp, witty, and at times humorous banter amongst the group. We have the brawn, the brains, and even an android...who are all part of the team, and have to co-exist in the face of danger if they want to succeed in their mission. But more importantly, if they want to stay alive. Because something has gone wrong on the planet, something that has turned the Thanati people...a mostly "attack-only-when-attacked-first" - minded species, into primative killing machines. And this coalition has to find out what went haywire in order to stop it from spreading to other planets, most importantly Earth.



After reading the first two issues, which are both cliffhangers, I see alot of potential for the series to branch into some great dialogue, and story points. As well as various plot-arcs dealing with characters rethinking their original mindsets when the mission on the Thanati's planet first began. The comic certainly has alot of depth to it, and the potential for alot more depth to be explored later on. Alot of Studio 407 comics are being turned into feature films. "Hybrid" and "The Night Projectionist" for example. I think "Netherworld" would make a good feature film, but at the same time I also think it would make a bad feature film.


Let me explain. The comic has alot of political over and undertones, some of which are subtle. Others more blatant. But with a new adminstration coming into the White House now, I could see the studio possibly reworking all of that considering if "Netherworld" does become a movie, it wouldn't be released until atleast 2011. A long time from now. And a time where people wouldn't wanna look back on the Bush adminstrations various failures, the biggest being a seeming overwhelming and quick urge to wage war. The story also seems too deep and complex for today's audiences, most of which, not all...who have short attention spans, and don't like a side of "too much brain work" to go along with their films. I could see a studio being interested in "Netherworld" as a film, and then turning it into a movie like "DOOM", where people just shoot alot, blow shit up, and drop cool one-liners from time to time. I honestly think this comic is too sharp and edgy for film audiences. And while that may be a bad thing in the cinematic scheme of things, it's a great thing in the comic book reader world. Which is why I recommend you check out "Netherworld" when it hits stores later this year.
