Called forth from beyond the grave to fight witches once again, Cojacaru the Skinner wreaks her havoc on the witches of the Hexenkorps. But with their evil buoyed by the violence of the Nazis and the supernatural presence of the Outer Dark, the ghostly warrior will have to depend on a ragtag group of white witches and resistance soldiers to back her up. It will prove to be a desperate fight indeed.
This two-parter is one of a number of smaller tales laying the groundwork for what is still to come in Mignola and Goldens shared Outerverse. It gives readers a taste of the battles that lay ahead, whilst introducing some of the champions who will be fighting for humanity. By telling such small scale tales it really gives the universe a feeling of being vast and filled with possibility. Cojacaru is a shining beacon of light in a world overrun by darkness, different witches lie at every turn, and this is an exciting time to be a Mignola fan. Read Full Review
"Cojacaru the Skinner" is one of those rare stories that manages to pull off a perfect balance between serving both new and long-term readers. In this first "Tales from the Outerverse" story, Mignola, Golden, and Bergting have certainly put their best foot forward, and I eagerly await more. Read Full Review
A fine issue for longtime fans but not the best of the larger series. Read Full Review
