When you think of comics that really bring the Christmas spirit, put Grindhouse at the top of your naughty list! We're leaving sex and violence under your tree this year, as the desolate plains of the West fall victim to a terrifying quartet of cold-hearted demons, in "Slay Ride"'s gory climax!
So, without further ado, let's get to those Grindhouse totals (I've decided to keep this): four dead bodies, no breasts, three beasts, one gallon blood, people strung up in trees like Christmas ornaments, shotgun fu, grandma fu, firebreathing fu, Marlboro Man fu. It doesn't get any better than this. Josh says check it out. Read Full Review
For some, the gratuitous nature of the imagery might seem a little excessive, but for me, thats part of the books appeal, and why it works on multiple levels. Not only is it an accepted element of the genre (so it will please hardcore fans), but its brutality serves to emphasise the importance of the underlying message. Slay Ride is a metaphorical sledgehammer to the temple, which underscores the heightened sense of loss some people feel at this time of year. Read Full Review

Overall, this book incorporated a great theme and format, and the artwork was broody and terrifying. With no happy ending, "Slay Ride" gave a tone of Greek Tragedy to this cautionary story. Read Full Review
