Some strip use science fiction and fantasy rule to distinguish pernicious , emotionally complex stories . El Esqueleto : The Skeletonisn’t one of them . Instead , this comedian picks up its blaster , saddle up atop a T - Rex , and shoots its way of life through big money of space rogues , legions of Brazilian models with Hitler ’s face ( and brain ) grafted to their breasts . And the owner of that blaster : El Esqueleto , the bad-tempered broker of the Battle Science Bureau .
Matt Haney ’s webcomic pulls elements from pulps and exploitation films and filter them through a layer of science fabrication insanity . The serial is base around the titular El Esqueleto , who is not a lovable rascal , but a bitter agent of a futuristic foundation concerned with the fate of the population . He hat his coworkers ( the feeling is mutual ) , and is never happier than when he ’s spewing revilement or shooting a artillery . Fortunately , El Esqueleto go bad up against bizarre foes even more detestable than he is . ( The most bloodcurdling are the aforesaid “ Girls from Brazil , ” who start the futurity of the Reich in their copious bosom . )
Haney apace pose the expectations of El Esqueleto as a goofy legal action comic . When he impart in Nikola Tesla on dino - back , the tone seems pretty assured . But in Issue 3 , Haney hold us inside the Battle Science Bureau , where he really steps up the art and world - construction . Yes , his anti - grinder is still hurl slurs at any target that presents itself , but it becomes percipient that Haney has constructed a universe that El Esqueleto inhabits , with a cast of distinct characters whom we may be drop more time with down the line .
At its philia , though , El Esqueleto just require to trifle with chainsaws , separate a few sky - body snatcher down the middle , and take out the Secret Society of Super - Draculas . It just want to have weird , foetid fun .
