Volume Three of the hit AfterShock Series! A young and scared H.P. Lovecraft joins the Rough Riders as they ride again against an ancient evil. This threat has returned to our earthly plane from the great beyond, and is hellbent on killing anything in its path. Our heroes soon learn that these unfortunate souls are not deceased, but instead have been turned into an ARMY OF THE DEAD! And the true nature of this ancient evil will change one of our beloved members forevermore! Created and written by Adam Glass (executive producer of Supernatural and writer of Suicide Squad) with artwork by Patrick Olliffe (Untold Tales of Spider-Man).
Animated corpses and a knife wielding maid are only the tip of the iceberg as the heroes learn of impending horrors. Reading this Who's Who of characters involved with the supernatural is tremendous fun. The action is well paced, the characterizations true, and the visuals top notch. This book succeeds in every possible way. Read Full Review
Bringing the band back together is the main thrust here as the various explorations from the first issue reach their end and everyone has to pool information together. I continue to like the distinctive cast of characters that we have here and the way there are a lot of strong bonds between them in different configurations, making reunion moments very enjoyable. The darkness is definitely strong throughout this as it unfolds and I like seeing how it all comes together and getting a few more slivers of what's really at stake and what they'll face. Glass continues to deliver an engaging work with a big cast of characters and Olliffe makes me want him to work on either one-shots or miniseries for each of the characters so we can explore their worlds through his eyes even more.

This American made coalition of unusual chaps is gathered to confront evil in a rousing tale that seems like it almost could be true. Rough Riders continues to be a great combination of the larger than life figures from the past and the modern comic book narrative. Read Full Review
Rough Riders: Ride or Die #2 introduces a little action into this story, and it injects a little life into the story. This is far from the most compelling or interesting comic to have come out this past week, but it does have its charms. Its not required reading, but I can recommend it. Feel free to check it out.
