Clue

Clue by Paul Allor, art by Nelson Daniel, 152 pages

We all know the game upon which this comic is based: a bunch of people with colorful names gather in a mansion and Mr. Boddy turns up dead. But who did it? And in what room? And with which murder weapon? True to form, this comic book adaptation brings together the whole familiar crew and gives them all plenty of motive to off one another, which, of course, happens with regularity throughout the book. Red herrings, double-crossing, and suspicious moves are all over the place here, but what really made this fun were the multiple references to the excellent 1985 movie by the same name. A few lines of dialogue were lifted directly from the movie, and much like the film, one of the issues included here was given one of three random endings. It wasn't the best book I've ever read, but it sure was fun and it really makes me want to re-watch the movie.
