There is a lot to love about this first issue of Cold Spots and it is obvious that this story is going to contain a lot of emotion. This issue is very bleak but in a very beautiful way. Mark Torres has used his art to create some sinister images and his colors to create a very dark atmosphere. Cullen Bunn’s storytelling is chilling and exciting and is perfectly complemented by Torres’ artwork. This is a great first issue of new horror series that I am now extremely excited about.

COLD SPOTS #1 is a fantastic new horror series from the minds of two great storytellers. Aesthetically, Mark Torres consistently brings the tone and atmosphere straight to the reader, while Cullen Bunn's plot and world-building are incredible. There is an issue of some missing information. However, that is easily remedied in future issues. Read Full Review

Cold Spots #1 is a tale bound to capture your attention and your commitment. Beyond the thrilling fear is a foundation of family and finding oneself, and Bunn and Torres so a marvelous job at melding the themes together that engage them in a pull-and-tug dance of what rises to the forefront of the Cold Spots story, and isn't that what makes it real? The struggle of identity, belonging, coupled with fear and uncertainty? Dan's story has a bit more of a tangible threat to it, but at its core, Cold Spots seems to be aiming itself in a direction that is going to become increasingly human even as more supernatural elements are introduced.

Cold Spots #1 is a stripped-down, archetype-driven comic. But wrapped in the minimalism is an effective exploration of challenging emotions, ones that give the issue a resonance that transcends the genre framework on which it's built. Thanks to a creative team working comfortably in-sync, this is definitely a miniseries worth checking out. To miss it is to be haunted by regret. Read Full Review

Cold Spots is another solid horror series by Cullen Bunn. Despite the few issues with the dialogue and art, this is a chilling story with an interesting premise. It's not wildly scary, but fans of the genre should certainly give this one a try. Read Full Review

A pretty good first issue to set up the new tale. A good, quality opening issue that will give you a pretty good return. If the rest of the series matches this one then it should be a pretty good story. The art is the main selling point though - a beautiful book to look at; the artwork secures the feel that the book is aiming for. Read Full Review

I enjoyed the mysterious take in Cold Spots #1. Bunn toes that line of giving us enough information to stay interested but not enough to spoil the mystery. Sometimes it goes over one way or the other but for the most part, he hits the mark. The art is a little hit or miss as well. While I like Torres eye for detail and character design, the coloring in the first half of the issue really throws everything off from a storytelling standpoint. Cold Spots #1 is a solid supernatural thriller. While not without some flaws story and art wise it is an interesting mystery with a haunting vibe to it that has me wanting to learn more.

A solid horror debut, "Cold Spots" #1 impresses with great composition and stylistic art, but feels hampered by stereotypical protagonists. Read Full Review

The series shows potential, but it hasn't quite grabbed me just yet. Read Full Review

A first issue weak on plot and pacing but heavy on the creepy, ethereal aesthetic leaves this outing feeling slightly underdeveloped if compelling. Read Full Review

The comic, a written by Cullen Bunn ('Regression' and 'Harrow County'), is deliberately aimed at viewers with developed attention spans. It lingers to create atmosphere, a sense of place, a sympathy with the characters, instead of rushing into cheap thrills. Drawn by Mark Torres, it has an uncanny way of re-creating that feeling we get when we're in a familiar building at an unfamiliar time, and we're not quite sure what to say if we're found there, and we might have just heard something, and why did the lights go out?

Cold Spots #1 is a comic with a good premise and excellent atmosphere-building and an unlikable drain of a protagonist. I want to explore this world, but I cant do it with Kerr. Hes just too bad a lead. Its even more a shame considering how good Torress art and design work is in this book. Unfortunately, that leaves Im unable to recommend this comic. I suggest giving it a pass. Read Full Review

Cold Spots struggles from a lot of problems that plague independent comics these days, from an unmemorable high concept to paper-thin characters to pacing so decompressed it feels a bit like a bait-and-switch. Read Full Review

Other horror comic. Writing and art we're good, but it did nothing to make me want to get the next issue.
