Genre: War / Science fiction.
This trade paper collects Elephantmen: War Toys #1-3. This is also a prequel to Image's Elephantmen series.
The Elephantmen are animal-human hybrid soldiers created to fight in a futuristic war between China and Africa. The fight takes place in a Europe that has been decimated by a virus. The hybrids are made not only from fusion with elephants but also Rhinos, Hipppos, Crocodiles etc.
The art in this book is black and White and is pretty good. The scale of things seems inconsistent from time to time with the Elephantmen sometime seeming to be 25 feet tall and some time 10 feet tall. But all in all it is nice.
The writing is largely average. There is not much of a story told in this collection and what story is present, is predictable and largely uninteresting. This book feels like the team is milking its fan base.
Rating: 2.5 / 5, Average, Only recommended for the rabid fans.
