Jun 22, 2022The Lonesome Hunters #1 is an intriguing new take on the occult and the otherworldly forces that lurk unseen within the mundane. Read Full Review

SciFiPulse - Ian Cullen
Jun 28, 2022The Lonesome Hunters gets off to a really strong start with an interesting backstory, which I suspect we may see more of in flashbacks. The art style is absolutely beautiful, but also quite eery in that there is almost a sepia-type quality to it. I particularly loved the sequence with the magpies and how that paid off.

Jun 22, 2022Crook pulls double duty with the art in the issue and I love the style. Every page not only evokes the tone of the story but also the emotions of the characters. Read Full Review

Major Spoilers - Jonathan Cadotte
Jun 25, 2022The Lonesome Hunters #1 is a spectacular opening issue. It does everything a reader could hope an introductory issue does, and looks good while doing it. A poor ending though does keep this from being perfect. Read Full Review

COMICON - Tom Smithyman
Jun 20, 2022An unlikely pair of monster hunters. A killer Bambi and a magpie from hell. This issue seems to have it all, and yet it's not quite interesting enough to keep readers demanding more. Read Full Review

Bleeding Cool - James Hepplewhite
Jul 24, 2022While it's a bit premature to say Howard's a coward, the first scene shows Howard freezing up during a raid. He was pressed into service by his father, and in the course of an attack on "paganist heresy," his father was stabbed in front of him.Crook's spectacular painted pages.A panel from The Lonesome Hunters #1, courtesy of Dark Horse ComicsLupe, an innocent, moody teenage thief, brings the series fully into modernity and out of Howard's head. More to say about what happens next, but as John Updike said, go easy on the plot summary. Jude previously covered The Lonesome Hunters #1 here. Read Full Review

Riveting from the start, Crook presents his usual murky, but stunning watercolours and engaging dialogue. Another winner from Crook and Dark Horse.

I wondered from the cover if we were being treated to the return of Chung and Clicky-ba from the "Wolf of Kabul". Sadly, we're not. However this was quite good, and I liked the artwork.
