The Red Mother #1 caught me completely by surprise. I've been expanding my horror comic reading and this leaped up towards the top of my favorites this year. From the creepy opening pages to the equally creepy ending, this was a ton of fun. I can't wait to see where this series goes, especially considering how little it revealed in issue 1. If you like horror comics or are looking for a good one to start with, I can't recommend this highly enough. Read Full Review
Horror comics can be kind of a mixed bag. They either jump too quickly into a complex and twisted tale and, thus, don't offer context or they don't jump quickly enough and end up giving readers too much to work with but nowhere for it to go. Red Mother, however, manages to get the balance just right and sticks the landing with a creepy and intriguing first issue that sets up plenty of mystery"and it's mystery that actuall feels worth exploring.

Danny Luckert's art is beautiful. The characters are beautifully detailed and they come to life on the page. The backgrounds are great and the panels move the story along in a way that complements both the tone of the story, but the pace of its action. I loved the last pages especially and how they build to that terrifying reveal. Read Full Review
The Red Mother is a classic urban horror story in the making that escalates to terrifying and compelling even before the real villains are revealed. Read Full Review

A really well-concieved concept with excellent art and a mystery that is truly haunting, plus some excellent slow-burn suspense. I'd like more of this, please. Read Full Review
"The Red Mother" #1 features great character depth in both its script and artwork. No doubt it will all pay off as the series unfolds, but so far the creepiness is more ambient than active. Read Full Review
A solid start for this intriguing horror. Although gruesome in places, it's the attention to detail in the storytelling that really sells this comic. Read Full Review
Red Mother #1 brilliantly takes a slow-burn approach to focus on character work to allow the audience to fully connect to the series' main lead and build tension for the dangers that lie ahead. Read Full Review
This isn't the strongest debut, but it successfully establishes the characters and stakes. There is a lot of room forRed Motherto grow, so it's worth keeping an eye. Read Full Review
Im hoping that as the story progresses Luckert introduces more depth and tension into the pages as I think this has the chops to be a fantastic horror series that uses paranoia and insularity to nail you to your seat. Read Full Review
Loving it. Great art and great story.
Luckert is a great artist. He killed it in Regression. If that series is any indicator, he'll kill it in this one too. So far it's off too a good start. Haun is alright. Let's see what he got.
A promising start.
Interesting, but I needed more in a first issue. I like the pacing, so I don't want it to go faster, but I think the first issue would have been more success as a double sized comic to allow more plot revelation. As it is, I'm not sure what to make of the limited information portrayed.
The writing was good and the art was cool. Not a huge fan of horror comics, so... Yeah.
