As an opening salvo, Snow Blind #1 is both satisfying and enticing, and if the rest of the series can deliver on its out-of-the-gate promises then Masters' creation could stand alongside the best of the best. Read Full Review

The creative team on this series has done an amazing job starting it off. We have some really interesting characters, a mystery that is already insanely intriguing and super suspicious. I’m stoked for issue #2, but we’ll have to wait to see what happens next! Read Full Review

Overall, this is an utterly captivating first issue of what promises to be a tense, unpredictable series. A gripping, noir-soaked mystery which is every bit as chilling as the snow-filled landscape that serves as its backdrop, Snow Blind is a series that comes highly recommended. Read Full Review

Snow Blind #1 is haunting. It's beautiful in every sense of the word. If you enjoy a good mystery/crime story, this is a book you don't want to pass up. The art is stunning, the story is compelling; this book has it all. Read Full Review

I feel that "Snow Blind" will offer its readersa story that we will wish wasn't contained to only four issues. The narrativeis fast paced and full of questions worth answering. Hopefully with the issues to come we will get more insight to the family's violent past, but as the opening lines say, "You can't know me, not really. I lived a whole life before you and half a life since." Read Full Review

Writer Ollie Masters does a fantastic job crafting investment from the onset, utilizing a heavy hum of introspective musing to establish a strong noir feel. Though this first issue is decidedly setup heavy, with its characterization limited exclusively to lead Teddy, the setup is so immediate and immersive that you can't help but want more.

Designchoices such as these, and the overall premise of this story make for a rather impressive beginning. Billy Ruffins may not be as unlike his father as he thought, and it would seem that everyone has their secrets. Masters and Jenkins certainly have struck a chord with the first issue of Snow Blind.

The questions are gripping, we can understand Teddy, and the danger to this family feels very real, so the stakes come off authentically. Tyler Jenkins's cold artwork gives the book another chill while Ollie Masters continually pulls great tension out of the plot. Reading this when it's done might provide for a terse hour or so, but as it's serialized, it has the capacity to become completely engrossing and gripping as everything comes barreling into these secluded characters.

Adding to this unfinished aspect of Snow Blind is Tyler Jenkins rough, scribbly art. While the illustrations are moody and occasionally pretty, the lack of detail and messy backgrounds distract from the story. Specifically, Jenkins often renders faces as little more a few dots and lines, giving the impression of a flat, depthless character. The coloring style is in an often beautiful watercolor style that does Jenkin's work a number of favors but sadly can't add detail or atmosphere to a number of pages that seem far too devoid of detail and visual interest. All that likely sounds more negative than it should. Snow Blind is an entertaining read with a fast pace and a good sense of character. The question is whether four issues it can turn these good characteristics into a fully realized story. As of one, I remain unsure. Read Full Review
