    Combining high-stakes drama with dark overtones, The Infernals give readers a story that steals the spotlight (and maybe some souls) on New Comic Book Day. Gardener and Parrott craft a tale based around business before family with exceptional writing. Paired with the impressive imagery of Pearson, the legacy of Abraham Morgensterns business begins its path to become a permanent fixture for fans when each issue drops. Read Full Review

    AIPT - Collier Jennings Feb 15, 2024

    The Infernals #1 is a hellishly good read. It presents a unique look on theology, as well as the struggles we have with our loved ones. So the next time you have a fight with your family, look at it this way: You're not related to the Antichrist. Read Full Review

    Comic Book Revolution - Kevin Lainez Feb 12, 2024

    In all honesty, I wasn't a huge fan of this issue. It simply didn't fully catch my attention as so many other comics are able to do. It was fun, and there's no doubt about that. Yet, even with all the things that got set-up in this issue, that do seem interesting. Read Full Review

    Graphic Policy - Brett Feb 14, 2024

    The Infernals #1 is an interesting and fun start that has a lot of potential to turn into some wicked entertainment. It shows glee in its main characters doing bad but not to the extent it cheers them on and encourages it. The comic makes it clear, these are horrible beings are the entertainment is horrible beings being horrible to each other. How far that will go will be interesting. Read Full Review

    The first issue in what looks to be another great series from Image Comics. A unique twist on the age old Heaven vs. Hell story which really works. Trust me, there is a lot more to come with this story. Read Full Review

    For some reason I kept forgetting about this book but finally I have read it, and had I known how good it was I would have read it straight away. more

    Satan's son is dying, and now he has to choose one of his children to inherit the crown. Six pages in, we have the premise fully presented to us, and Mr. Morgenstern, one of the main characters, flashed out and was ready for action. That's good writing right there. Next, we go around town, meeting the rest of the cast in a concise and entertaining manner. The introduction for Bee, Satan's granddaughter, is really funny and effective at imparting the ominous atmosphere this family is all about. The Infernals is not my type of story, but it's impossible not to appreciate quality writing when it presents itself. The artwork matches the satanic plot and enhances the experience of going through this book. We'll see how Satan's family solves thei more
