The conflict between good and evil is about to come to a head when a teenage hero embarks on a journey that unveils a secret society, monsters, and mayhem in Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo's ‘We Have Demons' #1 Read Full Review

Greg Capullo's art is fantastic. It's beautifully detailed across every page and the art perfectly captures moments of humor and humanity as well as spectacle, horror and action. A beautiful looking book from cover to cover. Read Full Review

Scott Snyder and long-time collaborators Greg Capullo with Jonathan Glapion are clearly having a blast in their first creator-owned project together, and the result is a madcap grindhouse monster-hunting horror romp that I highly recommend. Read Full Review

Capullo's pencils, combined with Jonathan Glapion's inks, help give the story that feel, but Snyder carefully build up this larger-than-life story while making sure we invest in the We Have Demons' main character, Lam. Read Full Review

At times,We Have Demonsfeels like a direct continuation of the teams previous work, almost like it exists between the panels of epic DC stories like Dark Knights Metal and its sequel. Much like those stories, this book has enough worldbuilding to spin off a number of crazy tales. Even our star Lam feels like the spiritual successor of Harper Row, a character the creative team introduced during their epic run on Batman. Daughter of a preacher man, Lams upbringing has its fair share of tragedy and enough teen angst to make her frustratingly relatable. Lams story serves as a coming-of-age parable, which Snyder deftly weaves within a creation story that balances science and faith in a way that is outlandish, yet respectful to both ideals.

We Have Demons #1 is a darkly delightful addition to the action/horror genre that reunites Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo for their first creator-owned comic. Though the comic bears some similarities to previous works, it is a strong beginning for Snyder's exclusive deal with ComiXology. Fans of films like UnderworldorArmy of Darkness, along with those who followed Snyder & Capullo's Batman saga, will want to give it a read. Read Full Review

This is the kind of work that has all the polish and professionalism that you expect from creatives at the top of their game without any of the problems that come from overconfidence. It delivers something that's instantly accessible to new readers while having all the things that will draw in longtime fans of Snyder and Capullo. Read Full Review

This is a heavy first issue, both in size (almost forty pages) and in the sheer number of development, plot twists, and exposition we get. Much like the recent first arc of Nocterra, this is a wildly ambitious comic and likely to be one of the largest-scale books in the line. I, for one, can't wait to see what comes next both in this book and the line. Read Full Review

We Have Demons #1 is the first issue in Snyder's line with Comixology Originals and it does not disappoint. The story is well-paced with the chapters exploring various aspects of Lams life. The artwork and design get increasingly better as the comic pages progress. For Instance, during the ending, the creators have adopted a different font and word bubbles to differentiate speech from Lam, Gus, and the other demons. The demons are also well illustrated and are not the usual kind of demons we are used to seeing. There is a nice contrast with black color that makes it easy to read the protagonists narration, which complements the story by providing a background to the events unfolding before us. It also adds to the suspense as we are left wondering about what is going in the background. All these factors serve to prepare us for the big reveal at the end. I cant wait to see what Snyder has in store for us with the coming issues. Read Full Review

We Have Demons #1 is an exciting start to Scott Snyder's new collaborations on original stories. It's an example of how creator-owned titles take chances and can excite readers who want something different. We Have Demons is brimming with ideas well worth exploring. Read Full Review

'We Have Demons' #1 just introduced the Snyder/Comixology collaboration with a bang, a Big Bang. Snyder and Capullo arrive like bats out of hell. The talented creative team is at their best as Snyder weaves a huge tale, Capullo wields a pencil like a magician, and as always readers get their money's worth. The fight between good and evil never ends and this new series puts a whole new spin on its origins. Supernatural horror at its finest. Read Full Review

We Have Demons #1 is a solid start of a series. While it isn't anything completely new it delivers its story with a certain sense of flair that makes it a really fun and entertaining read. It doesn't take itself too seriously and you can tell all of the creators involved are just cutting loose and enjoying the comic. There's humor underneath even the most tragic moments of the comic. There's a solid vision for the series in every way and as a start to Snyder's return to his “indie” roots, this points to some solid things ahead. Read Full Review

This is a creatively structured opening issue that does a fantastic job of setting the table for what should be a cracking new series. The prospect of Snyder's boundless creativity running completely unchecked was always going to be a bit of a risky proposition, but watching him absolutely nail the bulk of this story is a real treat. Plus, the tone both he and the rest of the creative team set throughout this opening issue – that of a foul-mouthed, bombastic action adventure with an immensely likeable protagonist – makes this a new series that I'd definitely recommend seeking out.

Snyder and Capullo are a creative team capable of delivering a home run, but they have also delivered some self-indulgent "all sizzle, no steak" stories. It's a bit early to tell which way this comic will go. Read Full Review

To those who already own the book's individual issues, this trade paperback also includes exclusive artwork and draft pages of Snyder's script - a whopping fifty plus pages of them. An essential collection for fans of heavy metal schlock. Read Full Review

We Have Demons #1 gives us an interesting new story by Scott Snyder that hooks us right into the plot. Read Full Review

Despite some potential overuse of exposition and odd paneling at the start, this debut definitely has some major potential. Read Full Review

The writing and art are phenomenal for the opening chapter of this potentially exciting demon story, but there's way too much exposition and info dumping for my tastes. Read Full Review

I really can't ask for much more with this horror comic. I highly reccomend.

La dupla inigualable de Scott Snyder y Greg Capullo vuelven a formar equipo para traernos por los rumbos del comic indie con una historia un poco cliche sobre el bien y el mal pero inigualable conforme el arte de Capullo y la Narrativa de Snyder nos crean otro mundo que como hemos visto en las paginas de Metal y Batman new 52 parece tener vida propia.
La historia empieza presentando a su personaje principal en este caso es una mujer llamada Lam Cullen que se nos muestra en un par de viñetas como crece con su papa Cashel Cullen pastor de iglesia que parecía no poder matar ni a una mosca, la historia da su primer giro argumental cuando estando en la universidad su madrastra la llama con la noticia que su padre ha muerto de manera no muy natural y poco a poco se van desvelando diferentes misterios del padre de Lam.

LO BUENO

La narrativa de Scott Snyder en este libro es impecable, tomando conceptos pequeños como lo que es ser “Good Folk” o en español “Buena gente” y dándoles un pequeño twist para jugar con el concepto y hacernos ver que no podemos juzgar un libro por su portada, dándonos detalles de los personajes algunos relativamente normales y otros un poco más perturbantes.
Al ser un oversize issue de unas 60 páginas Snyder se da el lujo de dejar pequeños hilos argumentales que se van resolviendo poco a poco en lo que avanza la narrativa y Scott juega mucho con esos pequeños cliff hangers en la narrativa para jugar con lo que moralmente está bien o mal, desde cosas tan pequeñas como el vocabulario que usan los demonios hasta la forma en la que crea todo un Lore sobre el bien y el mal, Snyder nos brinda una obra muy completa con una narrativa excelentemente planeada.
El arte de Greg Capullo cada día es más increíble con unos lápices muy característicos que nos hacen devolvernos a su famoso run de Batman, pero al mismo tiempo creando otro universo completamente diferente con enemigos que de verdad parecen de una pesadilla.
La versatilidad de Capullo para dibujar los monstruos y las escenas de pelea es impecable y se nota porque es una leyenda de la industria.

LO MALO

Desde nuestro punto de vista no sentimos que este primer issue tenga algún error en particular, la historia puede llegar a ser muy cliche con los misterios del papa y su muerte misteriosa o que en lo más básico es una historia del bien y el mal.

En fin creo que we have demons es un comic con un potencial muy alto a pesar de sus partes cliche o predecibles dentro de la trama, en este comic tenemos una dupla que en su momento fue lo mas fuerte que tuvo DC comics, es una serie que puede disfrutar un público más maduro y tiene giros argumentales bastante inesperados, creo que todos acá podemos confiar que Sott y Greg nos van a dar una aventura inolvidable como solo ellos lo saben hacer.

We Have Demons #1 by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo. This is Snyder’s first release from his exclusive deal with Amazon’s ComiXology and just released today! If you have an Amazon Prime or ComiXology Unlimited membership you can read it for free!

I have been eagerly awaiting for this since it was announced. So what is We Have Demons all about? Well it’s a story about demons, faith (more on this later), a secret origin to the beginnings of the world and earth, and demon hunters.

Our main character Lam is a girl whose pastor father has lived a secret life protecting the world from demons. The origins of these demons date back to the beginning of the universe itself with the Big Bang. This book is about faith, but not the traditional faiths we have come to know. It’s also not religious. It’s about faith in a mission and faith that good will triumph evil.

Lam’s father eventually passes away which leads to her discovering the secret life that he has been living as a demon hunter protecting the world from a primordial evil that has been getting stronger through the ages. Luckily for Lam, she won’t undertake this journey alone as there are a few allies that will help her along the way.

I have to say that it’s hard to compare We Have Demons to any other comic. It’s so narratively different from what Scott Snyder has done in the past. It’s eerie, unsettling at times, and definitely original in it’s take on Good and Evil. There’s going to be a lot of action and this is the set up before things get crazy. I’m in for the ride as I want to discover more about the secrets origins of Good and Evil.

Lastly, I can’t discuss We Have Demons without touching on Greg Capullo’s art. Like always, there’s everything to enjoy about his art and if you’re a fan of Capullo you won’t be disappointed. Jonathan Glapion does wonders on colors as he also always does.

This is an original idea, and when those are hard to come by in comics or any medium it’s always something I personally think should be given a shot. more

Not usually a big Scott Snyder fan (though I always enjoy Capullo), but this was fun. Yeah it suffered a bit of the “tell don’t show” monologues that Snyder enjoys but the spooky demon hunting end of times supernatural hero story that’s being told here works better to that type of storytelling than I fell DC Superheroes do. I’m pretty excited for the second issue, not bad for something that comes free from ComiXology Unlimited.

This has now been released physically!

I am a fan of Snyder and Capullo, and this is another solid start for the pair.
The art is always at least good at worse, to knockout at best.

However, the beginning is very slow, there is a lot of information being thrown out and that makes it feel awkward and tedious to get through pages, usually over shadowing the artwork, I didn't like this technique in the Spawn comics I have read and I don't like it here.

The story is good though, a Priests daughter, with a vague memory to a horrific incident as a child, coming back home after her father's death and finding out that there are demons knocking about with us this whole time.

I will collect the series but I am hoping for less walls of text as I go on.

The plot doesn't offer anything particularly original, but it comes with the promise of Greg Capullo demons. Unfortunately, the main character looks like a porcelain doll in almost every panel, her emotions just don't come through at all. This is kind of important seeing as she's the protagonist. As a child she actually looks chipper while her arm is supposedly rotting off from a snake bite, it's weird.
