Baron Bones is the protagonist of Dan Ciurczak ’s webcomicVibeand a monster attack aircraft . When too many negative emotion well up in a mortal ’s torso , they can reverse into nasty lusus naturae , and it ’s Baron ’s job to deal with those bad vibration .
Baron has n’t seen his sister Brigitte in five year . During that time , he ’s been train with his aunt to be a beldam doctor . With the supporter of a trio of loa — superpowered spirits — Baron tracks down people who are overwhelmed by negative emotion and force their emotion monsters to come out to act so he can cleanse them . As if campaign these monsters was n’t challenge enough , Baron before long has to deal with a far more knock-down fella , one who insist that Brigitte stole something from him . And to complicate matters , Baron has just made his first human friend , a female child whose risky vibes are too much for Baron and his loa pals to fight .
While Vibe borrows many of its concepts from Haitian Vodou ( and pop mental representation of Vodou , with a bit of New Age - iness thrown in ) , its strongest influence is shonen manga . Baron merges with his loa familiar ( all of Stephen Samuel Wise - cracking with little tolerance for Baron ’s constant pun - making ) , which imbues him with different looking at and world power . Between the action at law - packed art and the vibrant coloring , Baron ’s battles are incredibly fun to take in — and it makes for some great visual funniness when the unsound vibration monsters obtrude upon Baron ’s day-by-day life .
Of course , the cocky Baron will have some aliveness lessons to pick up along the way — about himself and his sister . It may be hard to be a fighter of bad vibes without accumulating a few bad vibes of your own .
