The iconic Elephantmen debuts as a comiXology Original title with this collection of all 5 issues of Elephantmen 2261: The Death of Shorty. Elephantmen has been described by J.J. Abrams as "An Awesome and Unexpected Story. You Must Check it out!" and lauded by Andy Serkis as "Bold, Mythic and heartbreakingly cool, Starkings' universe is a breed apart!"

Elephantmen are human/animal hybrids designed to fight a war. But the war is over, and now they live among us. Debuting nearly 15 years and 80 issues ago from Image Comics, Elephantmen returns here with a new jumping on point. This all-new story is a whodunnit that draws our heroes, Hip Flask and Jack Farrell, into the curious death of an Elephantman known to his friends as "Shorty".

Part of the Comixology Originals line of exclusive digital content only available on Comixology and Kindle. This title is available as part of Comixology Unlimited, Kindle Unlimited and Prime Reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Story. New fan. Loved it.

I'd seen issues of Elephantmen and Hip Flask for years and had always wondered what it was about, but never got the chance to read any of it because I never knew a good entry point. With Comixology Unlimited I now have access to their original titles and this was one of the first I read. Loved it. I was worried with this being a continuation of a long established series, but I think I the world was explained enough that I understood what was going on. I loved the story. At its heart its a murder mystery. I'm not usually a mystery fan, but this kept my interest and the resolution was great. Overall I gave this five stars because I loved the art; I loved the story; the established universe was great, and it really was an enjoyable experience. Great entry point.

4.0 out of 5 stars The bizarre kind of grows on you.
Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2019
Anthropomorphic zoo animals with heavy weaponry was enough to get my attention, and great artwork and writing came through to make for a very entertaining book about war and its aftermath.

Storyline did not really grab me. Read the whole thing pretty quick but won’t continue reading other volumes or seasons.

5.0 out of 5 stars A "Who killed Shorty?" mystery book
Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2019
I enjoyed this one quite a bit. Once you get past the novelty of Elephantmen (which are various anthropomorphic animal creatures, not just elephants but hippo-men and rhino-men etc); this story is a standard Whodunit mystery. I liked how the story unfolded, leading you in different directions as you try to piece together who the killer really was.

I was not familiar with this franchise, but apparently there are quite a few books that already exist in this universe. I will make an effort to read more of them, as I appreciated the storytelling and the depictions of how warfare-induced trauma can be so serious.

I didn't think I find such a serious message in a book about Elephantmen from the future, but I guess I was pleasantly surprised.
