Dec 18, 2019Wellington is a fine example of gothic horror with a bit of a hook that uses a historical figure as a protagonist. So far, readers are treated with some nice scenes and an introduction to a compelling mystery. Read Full Review

Dec 31, 2019Wellington makes an interesting albeit dry debut. For fans of the Lore podcast, you'll notice a similar flair and style. The translation to this medium doesn't entirely gel since you can get through the entire story in a podcast in 20 minutes where here we're getting it over the course of a few months, which is not helping the pacing.

Geek'd Out - Michael Farris Jr.
Dec 18, 2019Wellington gave us a somewhat intriguing story with a promising start, but I found myself wanting more action by the end of the book. Hopefully, the next issue has less Wellington walking around and talking to himself and more character-driven monster hunts. I know this team is capable; I just didn't see it here in the debut issue.

Dec 20, 2019Unsure as to whether the character of Arthur Wellesley has been discussed on the podcast, there are a few details in the panels which Im not sure are clues to a wider story or there to lend historic credence. Still, Wellington lives up to the pitch and is an enjoyable read. I cant shake the niggling feeling that the character as portrayed feels too similar to stories of Sherlock as it stands, but I have high hopes that this limited run will deliver an intriguing story before its done.

But Why Tho? - Aaron Phillips
Dec 19, 2019Where I was hoping to be regaled with a Sherlock Holmes type of mystery tinged with some paranormal investigation, in the end, I found myself feeling no attachment to a story that while a great concept, had no follow-through. Read Full Review
