The coming attractions (next-issue box, in comic book parlance) promises more theatrical fun in the coming months. I sincerely hope that the creators behind this series (it's not clear to me if it's going to be the same creators every month, or a rotating cast with each story arc) can manage to keep things lively and not let the concept get stale. Certainly, even the most entertaining camp can easily turn predictable and boring if not handled correctly. I, for one, will definitely be tuning in to each issue to see if these gents are up to the challenge. If you like this kind of thing, I'm hard pressed to think of an example that beats this, but that might be this title's biggest hurdle"finding an audience. I'm not convinced that there are enough fans of this kind of thing to support a monthly title. Read Full Review

Nobody is holding out on “Grindhouse: Doors Open at Midnight”, for better or for worse. While the over-the-top traits of the story and mature depictions themselves are the extent of depth, there has to be a tacit understanding of that going in. I can't imagine that this didn't turn out exactly as de Campi envisioned, thanks to her willingness to go at the exploitation with gusto and bringing an artistic partner in Chris Peterson who was fully willing to go there with her. If this sort of cheesecake, gross-out sci-fi horror thing is your bag, baby, then you'll want to get in line for it. Read Full Review

While Grindhouse #1: Bee Vixens From Mars isn't perfect, it still manages to be a solid tribute to the films that inspired it, and fans of B-movie horror should definitely check it out. Read Full Review

A grindhouse film plays out its story in earnest. Oh, it knows it's trash, and generally revels in it, but it does so with honest enthusiasm for doing so. Tarantino has made a career out of turning grindhouse into art house and then into the award winning mainstream, but De Campi and Peterson scale it back to its trashy, low-fi roots and they definitely are reveling in it. Still borrowing inspiration from Tarantino/Rodriguez's 2008 effort, G:DOAM features posters for currently non-existent grindhouse stories from other artists, like Tim Seely's "Jackie Lantern: Demon Whore of Halloween". Much like the cinematic Grindhouse's fake trailers for Hobo With A Shotgun or Machete, these fake ads may actually come to reality should this series fare well. It's a fun proposition at least.

If you're a fan of grindhouse cinema, Quentin Tarantino, and everything else you can lump into that group this one is for you. Read Full Review

For the most part, though, it's a fun read, and it's certainly enjoyable to see something a little different. In an era when creator-owned comics often aiming to be as literary, dense and plot-driven possible, de Campi and her collaborators have gone in the opposite direction, reminding us that there's room in the industry for all forms of story, even the ones that start with a title and work backwards. It could backfire -- there's definitely a sense that it's preaching to fans of the genre, rather than finding a new audience for it -- but broadly speaking the nostalgia is the driving force, rather than the point, and in the end it's hard not to get caught up in the enthusiasm.

Chris Peterson's art is pretty fucking awesome, however. It fits the Grindhouse style perfectly, offering everything in extra-large " from the buxom women to the gnarly car crashes. He has a simple and clear style, but gets into the messy details of blood gore quite nicely. Read Full Review
