Little Monsters #1 is a perfect opening issue that seamlessly marries Lemire's smart, sharp, and to the point script with Nguyen's moody choices in look and feel for a brilliant establishing shot of an apocalyptic world where immortal children play endlessly in the moonlit ruins of a fallen society night after night waiting for the return of the one that made them. Compelling in the ideas it posits and the questions that it will raise on the horizon, Little Monsters #1 is a perfect first issue. Read Full Review

As a debut issue, I really enjoyed this. Good concept, good pacing, just enough plot to get you intrigued but not so much as to swamp the characters, and so many panels to linger over. From a world building perspective, there are gaps which you want to fill and for me this is a good sign. Little Monsters has a strong grasp of what it wants to be and where it wants to go, leaving you thirsty for more in its bloody wake. Read Full Review

A good yet quick read not much happens , might be better in trade
We will see where this goes
Good beginning. I’m intrigued to see what happens next.
There was a lot of setup and character introduction here, leaving the book a little thin on plot, but damn it was fun and Nguyen's art was phenomenal. This may be some of the best work of his career. He pairs subtle, wispy linework with tons of phenomenal shadows, creating a stunning setting and backdrop. Most of the book is in black, white, and various shades of grey so the pops of red we occasionally get (mostly in the form of an eerie blood red moon) really stand out.
I'll be sticking around for sure.
Jeff Lemire has gotten so casual in characterization, but it's really good. The book is brimming with so much potential and Dustin Nguyen's work, while not my fave of his, is still really strong.
Strong start to Little Monsters.
I mean, it looks great, it's well written but, there's really not much that happens. Will stick around to see what happens.
This kinda interested me.
