From the acclaimed creative team behind GIDEON FALLS, PRIMORDIAL, and THE PASSAGEWAY comes a new series in the bold and ambitious shared horror universe of THE BONE ORCHARD MYTHOS.
Trish and Jackie are best friends and avid gamers. But when the line between reality and their fantasy world is blurred by an evil darkness, can they be the heroes of their own story?
TEN THOUSAND BLACK FEATHERS is the newest entry into THE BONE ORCHARD MYTHOS from LEMIRE & SORRENTINO! This universe will feature self-contained graphic novels and limited series about the horrors waiting to be discovered within the Bone Orchard.
I would love to talk more about the story, but – being slightly hampered by not having read the first arc yet, and mindful of entering into spoiler territory – the best I can do is tell you that its a great story. Its engaging, emotional, disturbing, horrific, and I really wish Id started this series sooner. Read Full Review
Ten Thousand Black Feathers #1 delivers a near flawless start for its story. Trish, her struggles, and what exactly lurks in the shadows and in her past are all elements of this story that I dearly hope Lemire and company can deliver a worthy payoff for in the coming issues. Read Full Review
This eerie new entry in Lemire and Sorrentino's horror universe is near perfect. It balances horror and fantasy to create a wholly new and frightening world in an instant classic. Read Full Review
Jeff Lemire, Andrea Sorrentino, and Dave Stewart are one of the finest ensembles working in comics and they're perfectly suited to The Bone Orchard Mythos. Read Full Review
Sorrentino delivers some beautifully detailed art on every page. I love the change in visual tone between the past and the present. The past seems filled with light and promise and the present is bathed in wonderful shadows. Read Full Review
Ten Thousand Black Feathers #1 serves up a terribly enticing mystery just in time for the Halloween season. Read Full Review
Jeff Lemire is such a great human writer. The interactions between his character feel so real.
The artwork here of course is off the charts but like his latest books, the story is high on visuals and little on dialogue, making these for what feel like quick reads.
I wish Lemire would have the opportunity to pen a screenplay and get into films and TV. It's clear he's got a command for visuals and emotions coming through those visuals that his strengths would transfer over quite spectacularly to the screen.
The quality of this issue is great. I also think it could mean more when all the issues are put together. But like the Passageway and the free comic book day story, it delivers high quality visuals, and lacks quality depth of story.
