Meet Janie "Strummer" Jones, just an ordinary werewolf PI, trying to make it on the mean streets of LA. When the case of a lifetime falls into her lap, it's up to her and her charming djinn assistant Ben Si'lat to figure out just how many silver bullets have been used, and just where do silver bullets come from anyway? A new horror series from writer Eric Palicki and artist Wendell Cavalcanti, with lush covers by Liana Kangas (Trve Cvlt). Every AHOY book comes with extra prose stories and illustrations. Issue 1 features a stunning variant cover by Jamal Igle (The Wrong Earth).
The writing of this book is very unique. Palicki does a great job with the script. The art is very unique as well. The pair make an excellent creative team. Read Full Review
Black's Myth #1 makes perfect sense of it's horror-noir roots to deliver a story with a sense of originality that sets it apart from anything on the shelves. Ahoy Comics seems to have done it again! Read Full Review
A fantastic first issue that ticks every box. It introduces the characters, premise, themes, tone, and it does all that while maintaining an enthralling story. There's no attack of the world-building, nor is there any heel-dragging exposition. It's just a really good comic book. Read Full Review
It's the right kinda of ridiculous. Read Full Review
Wendell Cavalcanti creates some cool character designs from Strummer's punk rock style to Ben's chill laid-back attire. The action is sparse but well choreographed. Cavalcanti's thick lines put the emphasis on the foreground characters and shading helps fill out backgrounds. Overall, 'Black's Myth' is a cool confident L.A. mystery filled with intrigue and supernatural action. It's one of this week's recommendations and that cliffhanger will have you back next month.
