Ehmm Theory focuses on Gabriel Ehmm, a young man who believes he was killed by his girlfriend and sent back to earth by Saint Peter to find out what’s causing dead people to rise as dwarf zombies. Accompanied by his talking cat Whispers and Alyona, an older woman who knew his biological parents, they are on the search for his father. Saint Peter told him he was the key to the mystery. But not everything, and everyone, are who they claim to be.

This is an unusual comic. Third in a four part series, there are many aspects to the plot. Missing parents, multiple dimensions, monsters, superhero teams that may or may not be bad, jilted love and at the center a character who frankly isn’t that smart. And that aspect is what makes the comic a bit hard to get into. He doesn’t ever question anything. It would be buyable if it was once in a while, but given everything that happens to him that would be out of the norm for any person, it’s weird that he just goes with it.

Gabriel Ehmm is back and he’s as confused as ever. Ehmm Theory #2 is a revelatory yet unresolved entry into the miniseries from Action Lab. Writer Brockton McKinney, illustrator Larkin Ford, and colorist Jason Strutz place flashback upon flashback in an action-packed maelstrom of wonder and violence.

The recently deceased and revived Gabriel Ehmm, along with his whimsical talking cat, Mr. Whispers, along with the mysterious, old, Russian woman, Alyona, travel in pursuit of Gabriel’s father. Alyona reveals how she and her sister knew Gabriel’s father, Aaron, and the dangerous research that the three were involved in. Attacked by a giant, robotic crab and rescued by a group of super-powered beings known as the Guardians of Dimensional Defense (G.O.D.D.), Gabriel must come to terms with his new reality and figure out who to trust in his abnormal afterlife. Meanwhile, it would seem that some higher forces are concocting devious plans for Gabriel.
