    Rockstarshit me on a lot of levels, having certain love for several of the songs and bands mentioned in Jackie's narrative, not to mention my affinity for detective stories and tales of demon worship. The story is engrossing, and while it does give away some things right off the bat in the first issue, you can tell there's definitely much more to discover. I highly suggest this to any occult or rock lover, it'll pull you in just like it did me, and I for one, cannot wait for the next issue! Read Full Review

    A rock-and-roll based murder mystery wasn't something I wasexpecting to love, but I did! I especially liked the writing style, it was likegoing through Jackie's diary/case files for a murder long forgotten. I have afeeling that the contrasting personalities of Jackie and Dorothy will lead to someawesome dialogue in future issues. All in all, solid art, solid writing, solidissue: Read Full Review
