Ellis Rafferty spent seven years in prison after being wrongly convicted for the murder of his wife, Becky. Now released, he seeks to avenge her death. Joining forces with Becky's sister, Zoey, they hit the road to take on the most pernicious threat in human history: bloodthirsty, cunning, immortal demons originally cast into the bodies of swine-and they are Legion. Ellis and Zoey travel the country to put a stop to the pigs' murderous rampage, leaving carnage in their wake in this horror story with a dark-comedy cream filling.… (más)
Swine takes the cake. The story premise concerns a miracle that the biblical Jesus performed. Two thousand years ago Jesus confronted the demon Legion in the exorcism of the Gerasene demoniac and cast them into pigs to drown in the sea. You can read about it in Mark 5:1. The author poses this question: what would have happened if every pig didn't drown as Mark tells us. Tyrone Finch imagines that a handful of the swine swam to safety and have spent the centuries planning revenge and causing a few random disasters along the way. His plot is certainly creative. Swine contains all ten issues of this miniseries and it is Finch's first comic.
The pigs are responsible for the sinking of the Titanic, the Hindenburg disaster and other disasters in history. Chasing down and killing these pigs are a man and woman team who are joined by the same tragedy. Ellis Rafferty spent seven years in prison after being wrongly convicted for the murder of his wife, minister Becky. He asserts that the pigs killed her. Now released, he seeks to avenge her death. Joining forces with Becky’s sister, Zoey, they hit the road to chase down and kill the pigs.
While the story is a little far fetched, it was entertaining. The graphics were beautifully drawn by Mauricet and colored by Lee Loughridge in those bright colors that I love. I must say that the pigs were amazingly drawn with every type of facial expression that there could possibly be. They are agile and can fly through the air when they want to attack a human. That old adage that when pigs fly . . . comes true in Swine. Each release begins with the traditional culinary drawing of the pig which shows where certain cuts of pork come from the body. It is a true devotional for the consummate pig lover. ( )
Two thousand years ago Jesus confronted Legion in the exorcism of the Gerasene demoniac and cast them into pigs to drown. But a handful of the swine lived and have spent the centuries planning revenge and causing a few random disasters along the way.
I was hoping this would all be scary, but it's just silly as it turns into a weak Supernatural retread: a couple of grim monster hunters equipped with a magical knife, informed by a collage of newspaper clippings, and accompanied by one of the demons set out in a cool old hot rod to slaughter the hogs. The creators seem content to make a couple bacon jokes and call it a day.

Before.
Two thousand years later. Present day.
"My sister Becky was the finest person I've ever known. As a minister, she touched hundreds of lives in our ocmmunity and her congregation loved her. She was my best friend. I cherished her. Ellis Raferty is the monster who brutally murdered her and left pieces of her body scattered all over State Route Three. For that he only got 25 years. You can't parole him after eight years just because he's learned to thump a bible. He should rot in prison, and then in hell."
