This is definitely a series you won't want to miss out on. Read Full Review

With horrific content mixed with scarier undertones of what one woman will do to secure her family's place on top,Bone Parish is a must-read for anyone in the comic book fandom. More than just another horror genre story, it touches on the longing regrets we all hold within ourselves, the desperation that we sometimes let drive us, and shows us exactly how dangerous a bad trip can be.

Bone Parish caught me off guard and I am very glad that it did. What could have been another run-of-the-mill drug and family drama has the added benefit of being infused with a healthy dose of supernatural and creepy terror that puts this book in a category with very few others. Read Full Review

The story is to die for (pun intended), and the art will have you staring at it for hours. This is a great start to this journey and I'm anxious to see where this creative team leads us. Read Full Review

While you wouldn't expect to care about a group of grave-robbing drug dealers, Cullen Bunn has a unique way of turning them into sympathetic characters in just one issue. This is a new, interesting concept that could go a number of different directions from here. The story is off to a great start, and the art is a big part of the way the story is being told thus far. Jump on this book now, before everyone realizes just how good it is! Read Full Review

Cullen Bunn has written a haunting first issue of this series. Read Full Review

A crime drama masquerading as a horror story, "Bone Parish" #1 is equal parts intriguing, creepy, and intense. If this is merely the setup, then we're in for a fantastic journey. Read Full Review

This is a strong opening chapter, serving as a tantalizing start to the series. A lot of the more exciting developments occur in the second half of the issue, but it still remains a fun read and another example of excellent horror coming out this year. Read Full Review

If you are in the mood for a dark story with plenty of interesting character I would highly recommend this comic. I, for one, cannot wait to see where the story goes. Read Full Review

The comic is fantastic and cements Bunn as a master of horror. This is one that's an absolute must get and one you don't want ruined. Bone Parish brilliantly blends the familiar mob/drug story with that of a horror aspect, something that seems so obvious to do, but so far has had only mediocre results. Here though, the surprise ending and reveals raise the story to the next level and creates a comic series that will absolutely make “best of” lists come year end. Read Full Review

A great story with multiple twists, Bone Parish taps into the crime drama in a way few have done before. I highly recommend it if you are looking for your next addiction. Read Full Review

Bone Parish #1 is a great debut with an eerie premise, strong script, and effective atmosphere. Read Full Review

Orlando's premise is ambitious, but the years-long timeframe of the story is a little hard to register over the course of 20 pages, even as he and Braga work hard to include Diana's various costume changes over the years. Regardless, this might be the best issue of Wonder Woman in years, so don't miss out. Read Full Review

Overall I did enjoy Bone Parish and Im really looking forward to whats to come but I think that this is one that might benefit from stockpiling a few issues before starting, or perhaps enjoying the story in the Trade Paperback format when it comes. Read Full Review

Bone Parish #1 is far too conventional and tame for its own good. It follows crime story tropes too closely while not focusing on elements that could give it a unique identity. The art is very good, but that doesnt quite earn the book a recommendation. Read Full Review

Simply amazing! Pick this book up ASAP. I can see this hitting the big/small screen down the road. Easily one of the best reads of the week.

The concept is an intriguing one, but the nature of the drug is unclear until near the end of this first issue. This may well be intentional, especially with the reveal at the end of the issue, but it did rather leave me puzzled as to why certain types of corpse were being searched for - such as a porn star - until much later. As a result those scenes made little to no sense at the time and left a sense that maybe this wasn’t going to be as good as the concept promised. By the end of the issue those fears were assuaged, but as an opening issue it slightly misses the mark to achieve excellence.

All of this aside, the premise is an interesting one, and the story multi layered, with meditations on grief and loneliness; organised criminal gangs and inter-gang rivalry; commentary on the nature of modern malaise, isolation and alienation; and a horror that is psychological, rather than simply relying on shock, blood and gore. There are shades of The Wire in the plot about the drugs business, such as the aspiration of one member of the family to upscale the business and make them more professional (who is reminiscent of Stringer Bell), which if properly developed will be most welcome. This is an intelligent and articulate comic book.

The artwork is generally good, although the colour palette feels a little muted at times, so that some of the detail in scenes is obscured. This may well result from the nighttime setting of this first issue, but nonetheless the criticism remains. I am also curious about how old the mother of the family is: as drawn she doesn’t really look old enough to have children who are - as far as we can tell - we’ll in to their twenties. Is this an issue with the artwork being at fault, or is there a textual explanation?

This is a very promising title and I look forward to reading more, but it is let down slightly by too many scenes that only really make sense in hindsight. I doubt that this will be a problem moving forward. more

I wasn't sure what to think about halfway through this book, but by the end I was, "Okay, that's pretty awesome." I'm a fan of Cullen Bunn's work, from his old Magneto series a few years ago to "Harrow County," which has just concluded. It's an interesting concept, the ending is super cool, and the art is top notch. I've never heard of Mustafa Karusu, but this comic looks great. I'm excited for the next issue!

Creepy and good.
