The Package by Elliot Blake & Alexis Ziritt /Z-View
The Package is a graphic novel created by Elliot Blake and Alexis Ziritt published through Kickstarter and available on Comixology.
Writer: Elliot Blake
Artist: Alexis Ziritt
Cover: Alexis Ziritt
Hitman Fred Cutler is sent to Mexico by his boss to retrieve a package. The package never arrives, but hired killers do. When Fred comes to, he discovers a bomb has been sewn into his chest. And if he wants to live, he’s going to have to kill his boss, L.A.’s most notorious gangster, Rafi Vega.
The Good
- I love the cover by Alexis Ziritt.
- Elliot Blake has created an excellent revenge story with a couple of unexpected twists.
- The pinups by Emma Rios, Andrew Maclean, Robert Wilson IV and Eric Bonhomme.
- The running gun battle when hitmen show up in Mexico.
- I could easily see this very cool graphic novel turned into a very cool movie.
- The price.
The Bad:
- When you don’t know enough to get quiet around Rafi.
- What happens when you keep “testing” Charlie.
- Waking up a few days after being shot to find a bomb has been placed into your chest.
- Nearly everyone — definitely all the major players in this tale.
- It’s too bad some people may be put off by the roughness of the Ziritt’s art. For me, it works — gritty art to compliment a gritty crime story.
The Ugly:
- When Fred finds out what the package is.
The Package is a comic for mature audiences due to profanity and violence. If you’re a fan of Sin City; Dead Body Road, Criminal and Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs, then you’ll dig The Package.

Seeing these 10 Frank Miller Original Storyboards for Sin City: A Dame to Kill For not only makes me wish the movie was here already, but also that Miller was doing a new Sin City graphic novel.

Stephen King: “Best Horror Series Ever”
Quick – What’s the best horror series ever put on television?
My guess is that many of you immediately thought of The Twilight Zone [not only horror, but did have some scary episodes], The Outer Limits [Twilight Zoneish], The Invaders, The Night Gallery… and so on.
But… how many of you immediately thought of Thriller?
Stephen King did. In fact King described Thriller as…
“…probably the best horror series ever put on TV.”
