SERIES PREMIERE! The team behind hit comic COYOTES returns for an all-new, two-arc maxi-series. There's a drug called Bliss wiping away memories in Feral City. A good-hearted young man, overwhelmed by a deathly sick child and distraught wife, makes a deal to become the personal hitman to three gods, killing those in their way and sending memories down the river of Oblivion in exchange for his family's well-being. Breaking Bad meets Neil Gaiman's Sandman in an urban fantasy unlike any you've ever seen.
It's an ambitious and engaging story and I love the combined creative efforts of Lewis and Yarsky. Bliss is yet another strong contender out of Image's incredible line up of speculative fiction, and I'll be following this 8-issue series very closely. Read Full Review
The young defense attorney, I assume they named him Perry, representing his father. An unfortunate and desperate situation led Benton to Docktown. A chance encounter providing him the opportunity to take care of his son, his wife. Amazingly it seems his solution is a drug that does what the name says for once. Bliss provides ignorance….and in a bad place like Docktown the individuals that Benton encounters seem to believe that is Bliss. Read Full Review
It’s a surprisingly emotional comic, with excellent writing and a unique and exciting concept at its core. This first issue only just introduces us to the world and the characters and while it’s an excellent and entertaining story it feels like this issue is only setting us up for the larger story. There is a rich mythology that is just begging to be explored. Yarsky’s art brings this story to life and makes the world and characters feel real and alive. Read Full Review

There's something going on with this book that I can't quite put my finger on yet. While the plot here in the first issue isn't going to blow anyone away, there's enough going on around the peripherals, especially visually, that I think it deserves a few more issues to see where it goes.

Not a fan.
