Upstream Reviews - Gun Magus, by NR LaPoint
By Declan Finn
Review By Declan Finn:
In Chalk, NR LaPoint had a Catholic schoolgirl fall down a rabbit hole and end up harrowing Hell. In Dusklight, Hell came to her.
In Gun Magus, if John Wick fell into the realm of Final Fantasy VI, it might be half as badass as all this. It’s an insanely fun time....
On his way home after being fired from his job, Ken Jericho witnesses the kidnapping of a 10 year old girl. Being Texan, he charged in to get her out. During the firefight, he is disappeared into another world.
Review by Michael Gallagher
By page 13 I’d already known I was in for a good time; I immediately felt similar vibes to the fantastic web short Kung Fury, and knew that if anyone could pull off a JRPG in the stylings of a Zucker brothers screenplay, LaPoint could, and of course the mad lad didn’t let me down.
