Roberto Recchioni and Werther Dell'Edera have a new Crow! Bringing in the dark, nitty and gritty, THE CROW: MEMENTO MORI #1 establishes the perfect mood in the first few pages for this dark tale of revenge and retribution. Read Full Review

The Crow: Memento Mori delivers a powerful return for the concept. It's one that can work very well and this new iteration deals with the fallout of attacks we've seen all too often in today's headlines. With all the attacks David unleashes in this debut issue, I have to wonder where he can go next. Read Full Review

Look, I am a huge fan of James O'Barr's original The Crow comic and of the originalmovie. I know The Crow has not fared well in other mediasince the first movie (thereboot may finally get made), but therehave been some pretty solid comics (check out The Crow: Curare). So far The Crow: Memento Mori may be another solid installment to the comic book series. Dark-humored dialoguecombined with picturesque art give this troy a fantastic feeling. I feel like the creative team is hitting everything I want in a The Crow story. The creators feel like they have an interesting story that they are just starting. Plus really you can't go wrong with Matteo Scalera backup story. That dude is fantastic! Read Full Review

The backup story, Buried Virtue, is a beautifully-drawn story that unfortunately does not have enough space to develop into anything. Dinisio's colors add a lot to the thin four-pager. I wish this warrior woman story would have been given its own issue to breath a bit. A bite-sized piece that left me wanting. Read Full Review

All in all, I thought this was ok, pretty much standard fare for a first issue, I don't want to be clichd about this, but if you liked the crow you will probably like this. For the rest, it is hard, to sum up, if you didn't go through a nihilistic phase in the 90s where you wore black nail polish and black lipstick there is a good chance you were never that enthralled with gothic scene anyway, and because this book captures the essence of the crow quite well it might not be for you.

Overall Memento Mori delivers a lovely stylised telling of a new Crow story. The David tale was very basic in terms of story and took a few pages of religious literature to get into, though it was an opening issue and so it has many places to go from here. Read Full Review

The Crow: Memento Mori #1 shows a ponderous franchise reduced to simple revenge fantasy. While the original tale and earlier sequels and adaptations were not perfect, most give the reader something more than brutal murder with a grinning protagonist. While the art and the backup story are solid enough, the main narrative leaves a vile taste in the mouth. Give this one a wide berth. Read Full Review

Despite the book's disinterred main character, The Crow: Memento Mori fails to resurrect this all-too-tired franchise from the dead. Read Full Review
