The toast has been made and the cake has been cut.
The most intimate wedding reception of the century has started, and all the guests are suffering a bad case of nomophobia (a.k.a. "no-mobile-phone phobia"). But things get real in a hurry when the mysterious killer sets off a frenzy that drives the re-maining guests into a world of unknown primal fear. Now they must learn to de-pend on each other if they are to survive the hunt.
Written and drawn by AfterShock's very own Juan Doe (DARK ARK, AMERICAN MON-STER, WORLD READER), BAD RECEPTION is a searing horror story that doubles as a topical, satirical critique on society's obs more
Bad Reception continues to play well even though it gets a little bogged down in the dialogue that feels more like exposition at times. There are a number of characters to get to know and this is a tried and true way of filling people in as the bodies start dropping so it's definitely familiar. Juan Doe's work is pretty great across the board with wonderful color work that really is striking when combined with the beautiful character designs that won me over ages ago. I'm a huge fan of his style and excited to see where his creative side will go with the leap into writing as well. This continues to be a great start. Read Full Review
The cast is introduced so the terror can begin. This issue has a very Agatha Christie feel as the guests and newlyweds converse, revealing their personalities. The visuals are terrific, with the first killing striking. Enjoyable, but I'm hoping for more action in the next installment. Read Full Review
