ADVANCE REVIEW! B.P.R.D. Hell on Earth: Russia #4 will go on sale Wednesday, December 21, 2011.

I give this book one star for each of the classic tales contained within. I really want to like the new Creepy series, but I just can't overlook mediocrity and the sheer laziness that is evident in the production of these issues. Between the half-assed material being fed to us in the pages, and seeing a painfully disappointing Creepy panel at NYCC 2011, my suspicions have been confirmed: The new Creepy owners view the property as nothing more than a springboard for merchandising and media tie-ins. This is, perhaps, a tough review, but if you're going to display the Creepy logo on the front of your comic, you'd better have your shit together. I only hope that I can be made to eat my words with future issues, but I won't hold my breath.
