Punk is dead. You're next. After witnessing a murder, Mel must follow clues to avoid death and discover who is stalking her band mates. Zane and Brea Grant (We Will Bury You, Suicide Girls) and EricJ (Rex Mundi, Fly) present a girl's ultimate descent into a world of blood
With the premise established, “Let's Play God #1″ has the potential to be a memorable whodunit mystery. Readers will surely be coming back for more after reaching the gripping cliff-hanger. With such an emphasis on sex, violence, and punk music, it is hard to not get hooked on “Let's Play God.” Read Full Review
Let's Play God has started off like a creepy “Who Done It?”, with lots of questions to ask already. What's Billy's tie-in with what went on? What does she want to tell Mel? Who is the mysterious figure writing at the beginning? Is it the masked killer? Well written by Brea Grant and her brother Zane and brilliantly illustrated by Eric J, especially the gruesome death scene, which left little to the imagination. Issue #2 should answer a few questions for us and probably leave us with some more. So, over all, a good start to a promising story and a solid 7.5/10 for this first issue. Read Full Review
My biggest complaint with this book is the clichd cliff hanger it leaves us with. I've always felt that the best way to get people to come back to a new series the following month is to start with a solid first issue. Thankfully, the Grants do just that and I'll definitely be picking up issue two. Read Full Review
For what it is, Lets Play God is a reasonably well told story. It might be a little too safe, especially when you want to grab peoples attention in a first issue, but I did like it. Sticking within the confines of a premise, so as to not turn people off makes sense, but the market for these books is pretty crowded and needed something more for me to really recommend it.

The Verdict: The Grantst did a good job of establishing the awkward situation the three band mates Mel, Kira and Billy find themselves in. Mel witnessed a murder, a terrifying scenario anyone of us can find ourselves in if were unfortunate enough to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. They successfully build interest not only in this issue but for #2 as well, and Erics moody artwork only adds to the suspense and mystery. I recommend anyone looking for something other then superheroes to pick this one up. This is not something Marvel or DC would publish and thats a good thing. Read Full Review
Let's Play God #1 is a horror mystery comic that touts itself as "Siouxsie and the Banshees meets Halloween" but comes off more like Evanescence in one of those awful Netflix horror movies that you come across when there is absolutely nothing left in the queue. Read Full Review
