MINISERIES PREMIERE
Living an isolated life in a shadowed valley surrounded by mountains and a thick forest, a father and son are terrorized by a dangerous supernatural presence. Only the father's dark secrets can save them...or damn their souls for all eternity!
Being a single father can be tough, but for Ezra Connolly, it's a duty he doesn't take lightly. Living off-grid, away from prying eyes, in the heart of forest country, he spends his days teaching his teenage son Wil survival skills. But Wil has questions, questions Ezra fears to answer-about his past, and about why they never leave the valley before sundown...

'Blood Commandment' is a well-crafted story of familial grief, secrets, coming-of-age, and the supernatural. It's a monster story wrapped in a family drama that relies on character development over cheap theatrics as the slow burn to its horror plotline will give readers goosebumps. Read Full Review
There are some excellent bones with this story, and the reveal at the end helps with the continuous slow-build, but it seems more open-ended with the debut issue that may keep some readers waiting for how issue two or three will be reviewed. Read Full Review
There are moments in Blood Commandment that get entirely too bogged down in dense conversations about faith and mortality. Read Full Review
This commandment isn't quite as divine as it ought to be. Read Full Review
I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes. There isn't a whole lot of information yet. The art is pretty good and moody. The dialogue between father and son is good and the mystery of what the father is, is handled well. There are some wasted pages in the beginning doing almost a movie credit montage. This could have been left out entirely. I hope the story unravels well.

A solid debut. Well written and nice bit of tension. I might continue picking this up, but if I forget, I won't be to devasted.
