From there, she has a series of encounters led by Davi that may soon turn disastrous. Meanwhile, Jerome learns something unusual about Layla and he and his family go on a hunt to find her. The Story: Starer presents an interesting first chapter in this limited edition series. I think this issue does a good job of setting up the overall story and introducing the main character and what I presume are the principal players. Even though this is a typical origin story, its very appealing and I am captivated by its gritty tone. The illustration in this piece is a detailed comic design with a black and white motif. There are splashes of color in blue and red throughout that are used to highl Read Full Review

Sirens of the City #1is brash, dingy, and beautiful, wearing its thematic heart on its sleeve with honesty.

Sirens of the City #1 is a fantastic urban fantasy comic that not only offers great artwork and storytelling, but also a compelling message. It tackles the issue of bodily autonomy in a patriarchal world, and its 1980s New York setting adds grit and atmosphere to the tale. Layla, the main character, is a flawed but compelling heroine who takes center stage and shines in every scene. Read Full Review

Incredible first issue. Sets up the story nice. Love the writing and the art is fresh

The black, white, red and blue color scheme along with the art is tremendous. Layla is the biggest asshole in the world witch is needed to survive in the big city I guess but makes her difficult to like. The different fantasy archetypes are present and has a white wolf rpg feel to it. Pretty good stuff.
