Chained To The Grave is an enjoyable and exciting read. The artwork may not appeal to everyone but the experimentation really pays off with this story. If you can't find something to like on these pages you're not reading it right. Read Full Review

Chained to the grave debuts with a well-written issue that does a good job of presenting its characters and their motivations while kicking off the story of the undead Roy Mason and his family fleeing from his murderer. Lettering throughout the issue is very well done. There's a lot of use of different fonts and speech bubbles between characters to highlight, especially with Roy. Sound effects are used effectively to suck the reader into the story too. The art is the real highlight though. The comic makes wonderful use of changing colours throughout each page in order to highlight certain objects and people. All in all, this was a solid although somewhat surreal comic that I'd recommend reading. Read Full Review

Outlaw Roy Mason has come back from the dead, chained to the headstone that marked his grave thanks to his wife Kora. Now resurrected, he is now in search treasure to make sure his family is taken care of. However, it not that simple or as it seems because others desire this lost treasure for themselves.

IDW Publishing delivers us a new interesting story that meshes the genres of the wild west, horror and slight humor all together. This was an action packed issue from the moment he arose from the grave. I enjoy his desire to want to find this treasure to make sure his family is taken care as well as the family drama amongst them. One of my favorite moments in this issue came in the beginning with his wife’s desire to make love to his walking corpse. It was absolutely hysterical! Not to mention he’s literally chained to his grave stone! That’s just fun stuff! This is not the typical standard artwork that I expect but it was highly enjoyable. The cover art is great and it’s what initially drew me in. I enjoyed this first issue and I look forward to seeing where this story goes.
