If I like something, I am usually pretty generous with my ratings. I enjoyed this book so much I would have to put it a star above other books I rated as five stars. The art and story are incredible. Usually, I am not a big fan of art that is too cartoonish. Example: anime that are drawn seriously until something shocking happens, and then the faces turn into cartoon faces, with big round eyes, no nose, and a huge open mouth. I prefer the style of Jorge Molina from Marvel's A-Force, where the characters have realistic but humorous expressions. The art in this book borders on cartoon, but is oh so creative. The stylized humans and creatures are great. And the story is so captivating, I couldn't put it down. I am already onto the second volume. Highly recommended!

I'm a fan of John Arcudi's writing on B.P.R.D. and James Harren's artwork, so I thought I'd check out this series. I'm a little biased in favor of this book since I got to meet Harren at Emerald City Comic Con '15 and he was gracious enough to take some time and give me a really helpful critique of my comic book art portfolio. It was fun to see his original art for BPRD - full of ink splatters, white out and glued in fixes. While many artists (including myself) have switched to drawing digitally, Harren has committed to doing things the old fashioned way and as a result his work has a lot of kinetic energy missing from a lot of books. Arcudi's weird run-dow, demon infested story allows Harren to really cut loose with a more exaggerated style than BPRD, while the (human) characters themselves remain a bit more down to earth.
I use the Wizard of Oz as a comparison in my heading, but I'm talking about L. Frank Baum's book, which is much stranger than the movie, where we learn the Woodsman became made of tin after accidentally hacking himself to pieces with a cursed ax. There are a few really great moments in Rumble, especially a couple pages of a dumpster diving cat and a three-legged dog that actually made me laugh out loud. There is a lot of promise for more bizarre stories to come, but I do think as an introduction it fell a little short of my high hopes. I usually find expositional narrative boxes in comics to be lazy and tedious, but I think a little bit more context would have been helpful for this fast paced story. The cover character, a Conan-type, warrior-possessed scarecrow, doesn't seem so out of place when set amongst a rundown city full of colorful characters and demonic entities. One of the things that works about Hellboy is how bizarre he looks standing next to regular people in regular places. Here, everything looks weird and so some of the impact of the intrusive fantasy/demonic elements is lost. I'm also not sure who I'm supposed to be rooting for yet.
That being said, this series is packed with enough action and humor to keep me interested. Arcudi's strength in BPRD was rounding out one-dimensional characters in the established Hellboy universe, so I'm hopeful the second arc will help flesh out the world and characters a bit. Also, James Harren draws some of best monsters in the business.

Warrior gods and Demons and vulnerable humans, nothing but bloody trouble... but entertaining
Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2015
"RUMBLE!" breaks the mold of what good visceral, epic tale telling can be. John Arcudi's dialog is crisp and has a sharp wit, somewhat self deprecating too. The back story of the characters is arresting. The best part is even the bit players have parts, including the minor demons that are introduced and... well, I'm not giving that away. This is a big world story that comfortably fits on the page and delivers all the bells and whistles without being the actual bloated epic it could be. Best of all, Bobby, the bartender could have been a joke. He's skinny, unsure of himself, but he has a lot of character and this appears to be his reluctant chance to be someone with more going on. His buddy Del is a lot of fun, full of beans, but not so bright. Rathraq, the warrior god is kind of inspired by old world tales of demigods, eternal but also vulnerable. He's mean and powerful but a defender of humanity, and I like that he's NOT Conan or Thor, but kind of a nod to both. Anyway, he wants his body back. Old demons with serious attitudes and their own ancient grudges have it.
That's all I'm saying.
This was in my top three comics this year and I'm pleased the collection has arrived. There's more to come as the series continues to unfold. Even my wife liked it.

This was a very enjoyable graphic novel. I honestly wasn't quite sure what to expect when I got this tp. First the art is a bit cartoony but very enjoyable. The characters are also really cool I especially liked the the designs for the monsters there is indeed a hydra and a scarecrow war god also of note is a shaman like character, an evil queen and a badass fire demon. At first I wasn't sure about the story just because it doesn't really explain what's going on right away so it was a bit harder to follow on my first read through but I have since read through several times and I am eager for volume 2

Harren's combustible pencils and Stewart's radiant colors draw you in like a moth to a flame, but this series really lives in Arcudi's flickering shadows. Meaningless, life-altering sidebar conversations, world-weary soliloquies, desperate teenage yearnings steal your attention away from an incomprehensible Sturm and Drang. In the crucible of their creation, Arcudi, Harren and Stewart have birthed a mythos where slackers and poets, warriors and sages commune amid the havoc. Rumble arouses the sleeping tempest beneath which chaos softly stirs...

Visceral and without just quoting the cover, TRULY kinetic in the purest artistic sense of the word. Finished in one sitting and ordered the next two straight away. Style is cartoonish yet grotesque. Clear but stylized. Story is fantasy meets everyday Joes.

Great monster massacre stuff, funny and fast paced. Graphic violence only if you are scared off by the image of something like Ren and Stimpy getting disemboweled, because that's about the style we are talking about here. Colorful and easy to get into.

Fun!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 16, 2019
This was really a fun read, albeit sometimes a little confusing. Old Gods, power plays, forgotten heroes. Sets things up nicely - and I just love how the premise is based on that old one line (Tommy Cooper?) joke - a man walks into a bar.

Hooked by the tag line...

Been a fan of Arcudi's work on BPRD so was expecting something good here, and it doesn't disappoint. James Harren's art is fantastic and really lends itself to the distinctive feel of the book. I knew i would like this just from the tag line: A scarecrow warrior walks into a bar... Highly recommend you give this a read.
