    You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff

    Jan 28, 2026

    The demon/human hybrid at the heart of the issue holds a lot of possibilities in her very capable hands. Jordan and company could potentially take things in a whole bunch of different interesting direction with her and the whole world that is illustrated in the first issue of the series. It'll be interesting to see where things go from here. There's a lot left to be revealed about the world. That's being explored in the first issue. There is still potential for a very mind working series that could play with the very fundamental concepts of horror, fantasy, and so much more. Read Full Review

    The creative team behind Spread returns for a new horror series that features demons invading our reality. This first issue is straightforward, introducing readers to the concept as well as containment team battling the invaders. But there’s a twist when a human/demon hybrid shows up with an appetite.

    The Super Powered Fancast - Deron Generally

    Jan 28, 2026

    Jordan crafts an interesting, entertaining and inventive story in this first issue. There are some great moment of world building in the story and those moments make me curious about this world and its characters. There are some great moments of action in the story as well and I look forward to seeing what happens next. Read Full Review

    I want to start off by saying that this type of story is not something that I read. But after giving this first issue of Malevolent a shot, I must say that it has opened my eyes to trying more comics that I normally steer clear of. This book is the start of something that I hope brings a whirlwind of devastation. The storytelling combined with the artwork bring this to a larger scale. I'm surprised the panels are big enough to hold it in. Image Comics has something special here, and I cannot wait to keep up with this story! Go get your copy of this first issue! Read Full Review

    AIPT - Chris Coplan

    With a promising premise (and some sturdy development early on), 'Malevolent' could bring new life to a familiar story (or it could also fall slightly short). Read Full Review
