Strange Skies Over East Berlin #1 is an excellent genre-bending thriller. Loveness’ gripping script delivers a stellar tale of espionage and the supernatural, heightened by Estherren and Delpeche’s gorgeous, haunting art; they heighten the tension of this debut issue and never lean too heavily into the kinds of gory, viscerally shocking visual moments other horror tales use as short cuts to a quick scare. It emphasizes just how unnatural the forces at work in Strange Skies are, and the danger of Herring’s numerous foes. No matter your usual genre preferences, Strange Skies Over East Berlin #1 should land at the top of your to-read pile this week. Read Full Review

Creative teams can institute a tune-up over several issues to get everything purring in concert. Strange Skies Over East Berlin #1 is more like the new car your parents spring for unexpectedly, straight from the showroom and primed for performance. You want to open it up, see where it will take you, show it off to your friends. Do the same with this book. Based on #1, BOOM!'s engineered a 1973 muscle car of a series. Read Full Review

Strange Skies Over East Berlin is a well-crafted, genre-blending story ripped right out of the history books and given a haunting sci-fi twist. It has all the makings of historical revisionism done right — I just hope I don't have to scale over an oppressive wall to get to the next issue. Read Full Review
