This was not at all what I was expecting from a premise like this, but that's what I found most refreshing about it, and the journey to uncovering all the secrets this town holds is one I couldn't be more delighted to be on, and I think you'll dig it too. Read Full Review
Panosian and Ignazzi burn through the first 20% of a five-issue mini-series on the first day of a new school year. The subtly immersive world theyre putting together will be wrapping itself-up long before the end of the school year on this side of the comics page. A thoughtful, measured introduction like the first issue of An Unkindness of Ravens deserves something that might at least fill a bit more of a single school year. Read Full Review
An intriguing (if not very original) start to this high school tale of dark magic and drama. Read Full Review
The character development and plot progression in this first issue is well paced. Theres enough to immerse the reader in the story without giving too much away. I already really like both Wilma and The Ravens, and have a deep desire to see Scarlet and her cronies get their inevitable comeuppance. This first issue has a YA feel to it, which isnt necessarily a bad thing, but I think that as the story develops its going to reveal a depth and a sense of danger and threat which will lead to more mature horror themes that will keep the interest of any reader.

A highly routine and lackluster entry in a worn-out genre. Read Full Review
An Unkindness of Ravens has a great premise that never really gets off the ground in this debut issue. The promise is there, however it doesn't deliver. We'll see if this picks up in subsequent chapters, but for now, it's more of a misguided and mediocre teen drama with a pinch of the supernatural, lacking intrigue and mystery. Read Full Review
The character design of the issue is a typical American high school; we have all seens shows or films and can imagine the layout of the campus and the social interactions. The imagination is not needed greatly to lend to the world building, yet the group of The Ravens" I wonder about them. The "alternative" styling of the group might help to emphasise the group as outcasts or potentially come with more character driven backstory. We shall find out in issue #2. Read Full Review
Got me hooked right away.
I’ll check out the next issue but I wish this has been a bit more exciting.
