Johann du Plessis Comic Reviews

The father-daughter creative duo has truly excelled with this issue. They deliver a unique tale of mental health combined with the supernatural. It captivates you from the very first page, leaving you eagerly anticipating the release of the second issue. All in all, it provides a compelling introduction to the characters and the intriguing world that lies ahead.

Arcade Kings doesn't aim to immerse you in a complex narrative; instead, it delivers pure enjoyment, boundless energy, and a cast of intriguing characters. It's the ideal escape after a long day at the office, allowing you to unwind and revel in its vibrant world. Reading this comic is akin to experiencing the latest EDM sensation but in the form of a visually captivating adventure. Brace yourself for an exhilarating ride that will leave you craving for more!

Blood Commandment embarks on a promising journey. It exudes the essence of a horror project with a beating heart, leaving ample space to navigate Ezra and Wil's odyssey through the whirlpool of terror. Kudranski has set the stage for a journey full of intensity and emotion.

With the latest issue, I can't help to feel that they should do this every week. Just release a new issue every week, please. Keeping us in suspense for a month, especially after that final page, is nothing short of torture. If you haven't picked up Crossover yet, get your boots on go to your nearest comic shop, and get your copies. You are missing out on every geek's dream world a world with seemingly endless possibilities.

Yet again, we need to wait till the next issue hits shelves. And yet again, when the issue ends, you're left wanting more " so much more. From the start of the series, you could tell this was going to be special. This issue really had my mind blown, from the sheer grotesque violence to the character development and building. Crossover should become the industry standard to what every other comic is measured against. This is bloody brilliant!

Without noticing I have grown attached to each and every character of this amazing series. Whether they are a guest appearance or a story original, I do not want to say goodbye to any of them.

Jeff Lemire's harrowing tale of a small town infested by fishflies is brilliantly crafted. Giving us relatable characters with unique circumstances. The writing and artwork reflect the author/artist's enjoyment in creating this meticulously crafted universe. Eerie and Creepy till the final page, Fishflies is an absolute must-read for all fans of comics.

Fishflies delivers a captivating read, presenting a beautiful story with a surprising twist. While the second installment may not quite match the impact of the opener, it certainly drives the story forward. We witness the evolution of the friendship between Franny and David, receiving morsels of information but never quite enough. I believe that when chaos eventually erupts (and it undoubtedly will), we'll be in for an unforgettable experience whether surreal or deeply emotional, it's bound to be a jolt to the system.

As a devoted Ghostbusters fan, I might be a touch biased, but "Ghostbusters: Back in Town surpasses the 2016 remake easily. It stays true to the essence of Ghostbusters while introducing fresh elements for the new generation. While my enthusiasm for the series is palpable, it's worth noting that personal bias can influence perception. Nevertheless, for fans of the franchise, this comic is a must-read, offering a new adventure into the Ghostbusters saga.

I can not wait to see where this is heading. With the first issue done, I can't wait to get my hands on the second one. It starts off with a bang and ends on a cliffhanger. I will probably be wondering my days away until I get my hands on the second issue, and just fall back into the loop again. Order is restored to the world and Gun Honey is back with a Bang!

This is everything I want from a comic, dark and tragic. The story is impressive and complex leaving you wanting more. If the creative team can continue at this pace it should rival some of the horror standouts of the year. A brilliant comic leaving you wanting more.

The Kickstarter campaign for season 2 can really use your support get it here.

Yes, I know this is not your typical review explaining the plot or the story. But there is a good reason for this. Lost magic is something that you need to experience on your own to truly understand the magic that it holds. It might at times feel overwhelming and confusing, to be honest. And you might feel that the world is expanding too quickly, but you will find yourself at the end of the book and realize this is one amazing story. But for the journey to continue please lend your support for this amazing book on Kickstarter.

Necroholic is indy at its best. The story feels new and fresh. What I loved about this is that it manages to intrigue without the need to overcomplicate the story. Necroholic is one of the best indy comics that I have ever read and to say that I enjoyed it is the understatement of the century. This is a gem amongst gems.

Something Epic is an experience that truly lives up to its name. It's been a long time since I've read a book that has left me with such a sense of wonder and hope. This comic book reminds us that it's okay to be a dreamer, to have an imagination, and to get lost in worlds that don't exist.

"Something Epic stands unrivaled in its brilliance, truly exemplifying the art of storytelling. It cuts deep, evoking a plethora of emotions within its pages, and may appear slow-paced. However, this is not a sprint; it's a book meant to be savored and enjoyed. Take your time with it, and relish every second. There's so much more I could say, but I fear it would detract from the brilliance of Szymon Kudranski. In conclusion, you will not find anything in this world that can truly compare to "Something Epic; quite simply put, it is peerless.

Both the story and the artwork continue to embody the essence of the phrase "Something Epic. Kudranski captivates and intrigues with every panel. The narrative steadily progresses, albeit with a sense of mystery. There's an irresistible quality to this story that leaves me wanting more, but alas, I must await the continuation of Danny's story.

Something Epic continues to be excellent and well worth your time, the art is truly exceptional and the story divulges enough with every issue to keep you entertained and coming back for more. If you have not yet picked up this epic book, you are truly missing out on possibly the best comic of the year.

Starting with the end of the world as a side story to a mother-son relationship, Swan Song delivers a powerful opening. This series is not for the faint-hearted, as it unearths questions you never knew you should ask. Sorrow and melancholy permeate this issue, yet there lingers a glimmer, albeit a faint glimmer of hope and joy, awaiting those who dare to grasp it, whether it is the reader or the protagonist. If you are looking for an intelligent, thought-provoking read that resonates deeply, look no further. Swan Songs' debut issue sets the stage for a profoundly unique and emotionally charged journey.

In this mix of perspectives and portrayals, Swan Songs urges us to think about the invisible threads that weave our relationships and the delicate nature of even the strongest connections. As we follow John and Eileen's journey, we are taken into a world where memories, views, and conflicts come together like a haunting melody, a tribute to the emotions that make us human.

Ultimately, reader enjoyment may vary, and while I personally found this installment less engaging, Prince's talent as a writer still shines through. There is a story here, albeit one that may not captivate all readers.

As the chilling tale of Tenement unfolds, Lemire and Sorrentino weave a web of terror that lingers long after the final page is turned. With its well-developed characters, haunting atmosphere, and masterful artwork, the creative team immerses readers in a world where ordinary lives collide with supernatural horrors. While eagerly awaiting the next issue, Tenement stands as a testament to the enduring power of psychological horror and the seemingly boundless imagination of its creators.

Tenement is an otherworldly creepy and eerie experience, with relatable characters dealing with both realistic situations and an extremely paranormal one. The latest issue might not provide any answers to any of the questions so far, but that's to be expected in a horror story. Tenement being part of The Bone Orchard Mythos offers a slow build, setting the stage for what promises to be a tremendous and horrifying journey, drawing readers further into its enigmatic depths.

With each installment, Tenement becomes progressively more haunting and suspenseful. If you are in search of a skillfully-paced horror, look no further. Lemire does what he does best weaving suspense into what feels like an everyday setting, while Sorrentino's art masterfully compliments the story, leaving enough room for your imagination to create new fresh horrors. Tenement #3 is chilling and suspenseful and exactly what every horror fan needs

The series so far is nothing short of brilliant, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to fellow horror enthusiasts. The art and coloring, coupled with the astute and clever writing, leave no room for criticism. While the narrative may progress at a slow pace, a journey is not defined by a single step. I eagerly anticipate the next installment hitting the shelves.

In this first issue, the series seamlessly continues from its previous installment. Allowing readers to catch their breath and absorb the narrative. Crook understands the importance of pacing and building tension in a storyline that plays out more like a marathon than a sprint. The very realistic feeling that the relationship between Howard and Lupe has is what sets this story apart from a long list of horror comics. The story of Howard and Lupe finally continues and I cannot wait to see where it goes.

Overall, I enjoyed the book. It's fun, nostalgic and will appeal to fans of the classics. Craig does a great job of blending elements from eras of comics. I'm looking forward to seeing the next issue and the progression of the story.

This won't be a book for everyone, as it takes an over-the-top look at actual issues in today's online world. But, if you feel brave enough to pick up a knockout of an extremely engaging and intriguing horror comic, this will not disappoint. A perfect debut if there ever was one.

There is a lot that happens in this issue and it builds up a certain tension of what is to come while developing characters and building a believable world. I can not wait for the third installment of this truly unnerving book.

In this latest installment of W0rldtr33, the suspense continues to grip me tightly. With a direct continuation from the previous issue, the story delves even deeper leaving us on the edge of our seats. The clever parallels and subtle hints scattered throughout the narrative add a layer of intrigue.

W0RLDTR33 #4 delivers a revelation at the end that teases a much bigger story. While there are some lingering questions from previous issues still awaiting answers. The glimpse into the undernet is what we all wanted to see. The series boasts exceptional character depth, captivating world-building, authentic and natural dialogue, and impeccable pacing, all complemented by profoundly unsettling imagery. Even if you're not drawn to this genre, W0RLDTR33 stands out as a must-read comic.

If you haven't done yourself the favor of diving head-first into this series, go get it as soon as humanly possible. You might be missing out on what could potentially be the finest horror comic of the decade!
