It's early 1945 and the end of World War II is still months away. A small unit of American soldiers faces a contingent of German troops in the Italian Alps. When a fierce snowstorm traps the Americans, THE SILVER COIN asks the soldiers to pay a steep toll if they want to survive the night. A new chapter in the acclaimed horror anthology from STEPHANIE PHILLIPS, JAMES TYNION IV, JOHNNIE CHRISTMAS, PORNSAK PICHETSHOTE, and MICHAEL WALSH is out this month.

The horror anthology series returns with a tale of a soldier seeking first blood during World War II. Great artwork from Michael Walsh and some supporting colors perfectly depict the bleakness of war and the impending doom brought forth from the eponymous coin. Read Full Review
The issue wraps up with the second part of Adam Gorhams Dark Passage serial. It feels a bit strange having the B feature in a series be the ongoing episodic bit while the main feature is a series of one-shot stories. The serial feels like a weird 4-page afterthought that isnt allowed to make enough of an impression to carry over into the next issue, which is a pity. It looks like an interesting story, but it doesnt seem to work in little 4-page bursts once per month. Read Full Review
Walsh delivers some impressive art in the issue. The visuals take full advantage of the setting and create a wonderful sense of emotion from the dark, cold and scary environment. Read Full Review
Great!
A pretty good read. It's a litte predictable, but it was enjoyable for what it was. Art has always been the high point of the series.
