The fact that theyre expecting ice cream in Hell kind of suggests a delightfully weird vision of the afterlife that should be fun to follow as the series keeps going. As the series opens, it feels like it might have had more of an impact if it had spent a little more time with the characters in the ensemble prior to the adventure, but it may be a bit too early in the series to make that kind of judgment.

What I liked most about the issue isn't just the story, but also the first-person perspective and behind the scenes of how the story came to be. Particularly interesting is the tale of how Layman and Jok met in Uruguay at a comic convention. Read Full Review
Overall, the mix of adventure and humor, along with the stunning line work and world-building, creates a story that is both entertaining and engaging. While the color palette may throw some readers off at first, we believe that the unique style adds to the overall aesthetic of the comic book. We can't wait to see where the group and their demon frenemy go next. Read Full Review
