Together, Mignola and Golden create a beautiful landscape of dark lore, ancient blood and unquenchable vengeance that's managed to make the long-running series comparable with Mignola's big-fisted counterpart. "Witch of Harju" rolls smoothly along with the previous story arc and blends seamlessly into the over-all world, as Peter Bergting's inks help realize the vision with fantastic horror-tinged artwork. The creeping scenery is covered with dark shadows and lurking terrors, and the entire artistic lineup renders this series a step up from the current trend of smash-and-dash virus horror. It's more satisfied to scare you in the alleyways than destroy the world, and is all the better for it. Read Full Review

While the first issue doesn't bring the scares quite like one might prefer, it's still a solid debut for Mignola and company this week. Read Full Review

If youre looking for another Mignola book, this one will fit the bill, rising to the usual high standard of quality. If youre intrigued about horror in the early 20th century, this issue promises to deliver on that premise. That said, there is something lacking from this book to make it an absolute must read, which may be resolved as the story continues on to the next issue and the stakes are increased. Still, there is plenty here worth reading and the tight plotting should mean many more twists and turns to come. Read Full Review

Series regular, Ben Stenbeck, is not on art duties this time around. Instead, Peter Bergting takes the helm. Dave Stewart definitely helps keeps the tone of Baltimore, but Bergting's art is still different. The issue feels a bit lighter from Bergting's cartooning. That in conjunction with a slightly simpler opening issue makes this return of Baltimore a little underwhelming. That being said, the first chapter has no problems and is still enjoyable. Hopefully the second issue dives a bit more into the mysteries of this new curse and amps up the suspense. Read Full Review

Similar stories render the plot devices in this issue so hackneyed, that it seemed almost humorous at one point. The food turning into dung in a characters mouth made me wonder whether this was a lazy effort or a witty comment(although all evidence points to the former). Read Full Review
