In a foreword by creator Steve Miller (probably not of the Steve Miller Band, but not positive), explains that this take on his creation is slightly different that the Rust people might know. Well, I got this book in a grab bag and I’ve never heard of Rust, so it’s all new territory for me.
Here a cop is shot, left for dead, and thrown into a batch of industrial solvents. The chemical company has an idea what’s happened and they work around the clock to put the kibosh of things. Eventually, the cop wakes and is turned into a big heaping pile of rusted metal.
The premise isn’t too bad. Being all gruff, orange, and comprised of garbage, he’s kinda like a dirtier version of the Thing. I was actually set to want to read more issues (if I ever came across them), but then I read the complete issue guide to the first Rust series, then published by the defunct Now Comics.
What I read from that was a cross between Swamp Thing, kiddie porn, and a zombie apocalypse. It put me off from ever reading this series ever again. Not my cup of tea.
Rating: 5 out of 10 stars.
