KILL THE MINOTAUR #1 is a highly ambitious first issue, but comes up a bit too short in some respects. Despite the problems, I would recommend keeping an eye out for what comes next in the series, and I anticipate that any Greek mythology fan will enjoy this take on the classic myth.

All in all, this was an incredibly fun read that has so much charm and heart that you can't help but be swept up in it. Long time Batman fans will find a lot to ponder over, and casual readers will just enjoy the badass battles, evil entities, and gorgeous art. You can really feel the Bat-love and fandom the creative team has put into this.

A fantastic beginning to a series perfect for both long-time fans and new fans looking to scratch the DEFENDERS itch before the new season on Netflix.

This issue violently thrust the story forward, and was both highly satisfying and totally horrifying. Any The Wicked + The Divine fan will likely finish this issue screaming “no” but thinking “gods what will happen next??” Expertly written and illustrated, this definitely feels like a shocking yet completely earned turning point which will leave you on your knees.

The team behind this book took a huge chance and it paid off. Lovingly crafted and obviously a passion project, this issue was worth the wait.
