A fun and interesting twist on the "love" concept with what hopes to be the same visceral violence of Luther Strode. Read Full Review

The artwork was perfect for this story. Lots of bright colors and more focus on solid shapes than details, which makes the cherubs seem more humorous than threatening (I wonder if that'll change later?). The cupid/cherub guys are pretty cute " they're not overly baby-ish (which can just be creepy), while still being clear of what they are. The more realistic wings were a nice touch as well.

In a time when toxic masculinity has become a subject of regular discussion and female creators across all media come under regular attack for daring to even point it out, Death of Love is both a cogent and relevant critique of sexual relations wrapped up in what promises to be a brilliant (and bloody) farce. It is at once a great big middle finger in the face of Gamergaters, MRAs, nice guys and a valentine for everyone who despises them… or for anyone who just wants to see some angels cut down with a chainsaw.

Of course comics can only go so far if the art isnt up to par in a visual medium. In that department: Donal Delay succeeds with a style that infuses a B-Movie and exaggerated quality to the more outlandish scenes, while still keeping a down-to-earth tone in the flashback scenes. Philos exaggerated and passive-aggressive hostility is helps to bridge the gap between the real and the surreal in this case, as well as the work of colorists Omar Estevez and Felipe Sobeiro who get to play with a lot of red that separates the violent Cupidae scenes from the rest of the story. In that regard, if youre looking for a gut punch of a comic, that also attempts to make a commentary on the circular punishment of mistreating people and tearing through Cupidae, then youre going to be satisfied.

This is a comic worth being on a comic enthusiast's radar. Yes, it may have some minor flaws, but it's quite a fun, and genuine ride. This is a story that seems to want to shine a lens on the complexities and dynamics of relationships and gender roles, while framing it through an over the top situation. This only furthers to drive the point home of how important the key personal character moments in the book, which show how much these creatives want to tell this tale of love. Read Full Review

The opening and closing pages hint at a wildly chaotic story, and now that the nuances of Philo's personality (i.e. he's an asshole) have been well and truly laid out, I can't wait to see Jordan and Delay actuallygetting to tell it. It's going to be interesting to see whether this ends up being a road to redemption and reassessment for Philo, or merely a cautionary tale for the reader, but whatever it is, there's a huge amount of potential here for Death of Love to become one of the most inventive and irreverentValentine-themed comics ever made.

Tackling romance, sex, entitlement and gender dynamics can be a thorny topic, particularly when taking a bleakly comedic and action-packed route - and indeed, there are bits of this story that do come across as a little awkward and inorganic, particularly in the character of Bob, whose dialogue sometimes comes off as overly didactic. But there's more to this concept than just hunting down Cupids - and now that the set-up is officially over, it remains to be seen if Death of Love and its problematic lead will find some way to warm themselves up to audiences, or if this antihero's repugnant attitude kills the romance once and for all.
