A historical tale that is written in blood and sealed in terror, the Brothers Dracul source material is legendary and if it is handled properly, as I am sure that it will be, the story of Vlad the Impaler is ideal for a serialized graphic-heavy re-imagining like the Brothers Dracul. If you are considering reading this series, I urge you to do so; Issue #1 is being released on April 11th, and it's certainly one not to miss.

Her Infernal Descent #1

Apr 16, 2018

If you like taking casual walks through the nine circles of Hell with a dead poet, this is the comic book series that you've been waiting for. With a well-written script and impressive artwork, Her Infernal Descent is destined to be an excellent retelling of Dante's Inferno. It all starts here; don't miss out.

Her Infernal Descent #2

May 23, 2018

Her Infernal Descent has a lot going for it, and while some of the creative liberties taken to produce this modern retelling of Dante's Inferno work well, some miss the mark. Regardless, my time spent in this version of Hell has been enjoyable and Her Infernal Descent promise to continue to excite and intrigue.

Ice Cream Man #2

Feb 21, 2018

Ice Cream Man #2 is a well-written and well-illustrated comic book that, despite my merely satisfactory score, is worth reading. Issue #2 simply doesn't work as well or hit as hard as its predecessor. You can bet that I am going to read Issue #3; Ice Cream Man deserves a second shot.

Raven: Daughter of Darkness #1

Jan 24, 2018

Legendary creator Marv Wolfman is back and he's working on one of his co-created characters, the Teen Titan, Raven! Raven: Daughter of Darkness (2018-) #1 is a very well-rounded comic; the script is well-written and the illustrations are energetic and expressive. The book's pacing isn't perfect, but the plot is well balanced and ultimately Raven: Daughter of Darkness (2018-) #1 works as it generates interest in what's to come while simultaneously providing some real entertainment value.
