In the waning days of World War Two, with the Allies advancing, a desperate Nazi officer unearths an ancient force of evil that he hopes will turn the tide of battle: a vampire. To test the power of his secret weapon, he unleashes the monster on an unsuspecting group of Allied POWs. It's up to Nocona, a Comanche language expert, to communicate with the
vampire to find out what it really wants.
This could be a by the numbers mix of WWII and Vampires but the script and artwork compel you from page one. For the investment of five issues, I think will be a quiet burner for 2021 that suddenly everyone wants to get hold of. AWA must already be negotiating with Netflix to turn this into a movie or series as it has wide appeal. Read Full Review
Out is a great example of how to take tradition and twist it into something that can appeal to more current sensibilities. Its a classic horror story that reads like a POW war narrative with key adages and permutations that elevate it into more compelling forms of storytelling. Williams and Conrad came up with a clever and violently emotional exploration of war, death, and everything in between. In the process, they might also suggest learning other languages can be the deciding factor in some life and death situations. You never know when you might need to talk down a blood-sucking creature from using your head as a wine glass in its native tongue. Read Full Review
Suspenseful, witty, and pretty to look at, Out #1 is a great vampire comic for the Halloween season. Read Full Review
The series description hints that Nocona's story will only get more inventive from here, so I recommend jumping into the series and giving it a few issues. Read Full Review
It's not the first monster horror set in WWII and I'm noting seeing anything to set this one apart so far.
