Review PUBLISHERS WEEKLY -- Summer looms and the suburban air is filled with the cheery jingle of the approaching ice cream man in this caustic, ongoing multigenre anthology of single-issue stories by the same creative team. The purveyor of frosty treats is eagerly anticipated by all, but his friendly demeanor masks miraculous powers and a sinister omnipresence that links the tales. The lives of a young boy with a dark secret and a lethal friend, a desperate heroin addict, a washed-up one-hit wonder from the dawn of rock n roll, and a young man wrestling with the fears and uncertainty of impending fatherhood all intersect with Rick, the ice cream man, on his route. As the stories progress, hints are dropped that there is more to Rick than simply serving as a Rod Serling for this contemporary Twilight Zone. Princes work ups the ante from his earlier efforts (One Week in the Library) with a precisely-crafted page-turner, sporting crisp line work by Morazzo (The Electric Sublime) and the dreamlike colors of OHalloran (Magnus). This is a perfectly bitter confection for those with a taste for short-form shockers, accented by adult language and content. (June)A haunting horror tale that is both entertaining and eerie. -Impulse GamerPrince is fast building an unusual resume in comics, and Morazzos style recalls the precise line work of greats like Frank Quitely. Youll never look at ice cream trucks the same way after this one. -Paste MagazineICE CREAM MAN is an ever-smiling, ghoulishly jolly thing. --Doom RocketPenciler Martin Morazzo has an evocatively brittle approach to line work and a talent for upsetting facial expressions, and colorist Chris OHalloran infuses everything with block colors that, like the ice cream, seems simple but contains much sinister import. --VulturePrinces work ups the ante with a precisely-crafted page-turner, sporting crisp line work by Morazzo and the dreamlike colors of OHalloran. --Publishers Weekly Chocolate, vanilla, existential horror, addiction, musical fantasy...there’s a flavor for everyone’s misery.ICE CREAM MAN is a genre-defying comic book series, featuring disparate “one-shot” tales of sorrow, wonder, and redemption. Each installment features its own cast of strange characters, dealing with their own special sundae of suffering. And on the periphery of all of them, like the twinkly music of his colorful truck, is the Ice Cream Man a weaver of stories, a purveyor of sweet treats. Friend. Foe. God. Demon. The man who with a snap of his fingers lickety split! can change the course of your life forever.Written by W.
