Dark Spaces: Wildfire #1 is a creative height for the entire team, breathing new life into Snyders scripts while giving Shermans art the chance to burn up the page.

This is a book that should be seared into your pull-list, if for nothing else than the gorgeous art and stunning colors, but a nice, warm subversion of genre doesnt hurt. Its also a signal flare to put IDWs new slate of original titles on your radar. Read Full Review

A slow burn of a first issue, no pun intended, which takes its time establishing this intriguing cast of characters before the real meat of the story gets going in the final pages.
