Ludocrats was fun, violent, and hilarious with a lot of randomness thrown in and what’s not to love about that? From the colorful characters, realities, and ways of life, Ludocrats really brings you to a new universe that begins with seeing a big, naked Otto, and then going to a wedding with be-headings and creatures from all realms.
Just imagine the aesthetics from a revamped alien hominid, and color schemes of Steven Universe to create a wildly outrageous steampunk story. Ludocrats is very adult, and still manages to make you laugh like you’re in middle school again, and when the jokes weren’t enough, the details Stokely added to the artwork really ties it all in for me. There was a lot that wasn’t answered but the way Gillen, and Stokely went about it will likely persuade most people to come back, and read the next issue.
This should go without saying but SPOiLER ALERT…the scene where OTTO lays his big eyes on Gatty was absolutely hilarious. Otto is currently looking to have a kid, and in walks a big and quite beautiful steam judge. Then a famous inter dimensional thief in a sexy t-rex outfit gets thrown out of the wedding party by Otto. Gatty notices, and sends her niece to find out what kind of pelvic pressures Otto can take lol. Let’s just say things get peculiar when the hyper-popes guards arrive to the after party with no hyper-pope but I’ll stop there, and let your imagination run wild. So make sure you tune in and let the story consume you.
