3 Devils, from writer/artist Bo Hampton, is a high-action, supernatural western that centers around a pact of vengeance sworn by a tragically orphaned Gypsy girl, an ex-slave with no soul, and a carnival freak billed as the Human Wolf. Gaining strength and courage from each other, they set off across the Old West-in search of the three hideous, inhuman entities that caused their torment and haunt their lives.
People always complain that comics are always about stock characters and there is too much flash over substance. Unfortunately, for every SAGA, there are too many comics like "Voice in the Dark." There are too many quality comics with strong writing that don't get the chance to prove themselves. There is the old adage that a comic should get a good six months to 'prove itself.' Many new titles don't get this chance. Read Full Review
Extremely well written story. Very intense and full of intrigue. Read Full Review
In many ways, 3 Devils is an ideal first issue, putting all the pieces in place to bring the two protagonists together and literally send them off down the road for their next adventure. It's also somewhat safe in its characterization for the moment, but nevertheless suggests that both of these characters are more than they initially appear. While Hampton only gives us the barest of hints as to what might be coming next, he does convince us that the focus of the book will be on the characters going forward, taking them from the familiar to something entirely new.

Well worn may be an apt way to describe this book, with the various tropes in play. Despite that, the book is a well crafted tale, that fans of either horrors or westerns should appreciate. Read Full Review
3 Devils #1 isn't sure about what it is. It seems to grasp at trying to be gritty but fails at it. Captions attempt the Frank Miller style of narrating but comes off as cheesy, and there is no true set for a story to follow. Read Full Review
