Image Comics’ Proof is one of my favorite books going, so far. This issue is a pretty action-light book, considering it has Proof and el Chupacabra facing off.

Of course, the face-off happens over a kitchen table, with poisoned tea and raw hot dogs. But still.

Proof is looking for others of his kind — the “Bigfoot” kind, while Chupacabra hints at more out there.

There’s other drama, as el Chupacabra is currently inhabiting the skin of the town sheriff’s mother Nadine, and the meat of the issue stops when the sheriff, Elvis (not that Elvis), comes into the kitchen gun drawn.

Alexander Grecian, Riley Rossmo, Tyler Jenkins and Kelly Tindall are keeping me entertained with the sharp wit, the very-suitable art, the Cryptoid facts that crop up throughout the story Nightly News-style, and the sense that there is a larger story to tell.

You can jump on with this issue, but I’d recommend seeking out and finding the first three as well. This is a good book to be reading.
