From the co-creator of the Eisner Award-winning, bestselling Powers comes this brand-new anthropomorphic supernatural series that's Hellboy meets Redwall. William and Winnie have been arrested by Abbot Edward and are on their way to trial. But they must make an escape to arrive in Melrose Abbey where they will confront their most dangerous revenant yet. This undead chaplain has chased away the clergy, burst nuns into flames, and leaves devilish claw marks on the church. What will William and Winnie do when this evil raises its full power against them? Based on the true accounts of English historian William of Newbury.
If this continues, William could soon be standing alongside the likes of Hellboy, Miyamoto Usagi, and the Goon as part of the pantheon of iconic adventure heroes published by Dark Horse Comics. Read Full Review
This book continues to find the charm, wit, and power to further step into itself for a silly but poignant adventure and a deep look at religion/spirituality. Read Full Review
Michael Oeming uses a different kind of art style in William of Newbury, more Mignola and less Toth, and combined with its sheer weirdness, it continues to be an enjoyable series. Read Full Review
William of Newbury #3 delivers the weightiest story point in the form of Edward and William losing their souls. There is no fire and brimstone, but it is a serious idea that may push back against the all ages label the series has. That aside, it remains an easy to digest story with historical elements that are made fun. Read Full Review
This is the defining issue so far in my opinion. Truly hope we see William take up arms with Usagi at some point. It would make all the sense in the word. I hope this series continues, I'M SOLD!
