The grisly third installment of horror anthology THE SILVER COIN by all-stars MICHAEL WALSH, CHIP ZDARSKY, KELLY THOMPSON, ED BRISSON, and JEFF LEMIRE. After a home invasion goes bad, the mysterious coin helps its new owners outrun the law. But it's leading them down a path much darker.
This issue gives more questions than provide answers to previous issues. Adding to the mythology of the coin, we get a nice 1980s style horror with touches of Evil Dead, Hammer Horror and Stephen King's Cat's Eye not providing an easy ending. I have a feeling that we're not going to get answers over the two final issues but sometimes the journey is as important as the destination. Read Full Review
The Silver Coin #3 is another addition in a series that feels like a guilty pleasure without the guilt. It hits notes for fans across the span of horror and genuinely anyone could find something to dig into. A+ across the board. Read Full Review
Brisson is a great writer and does a good job here. Michael Walsh has been doing a consistently great job on the artwork. I am loving this series and it is been great so far! Read Full Review
Walsh delivers some beautiful, powerful and engrossing imagery throughout the issue. There are some brilliant visual moments that are spellbinding. Read Full Review
Fast paced, making clever use of horror tropes, with morally ambiguous characters in a morally ambiguous universe, The Silver Coin #3 is yet another issue in what is fast becoming the premiere comic horror series. Read Full Review
'The Silver Coin' #3 delivers the chills and thrills as expected with Brisson and Walsh while also opening the mythos behind the Coin. The anthology continues to be a horrific little treat by some of the best in comics. You should read it for Walsh's spine-tingling art alone. Read Full Review
A simple, well-told story manages what so many others dont. Dialogue is kept to a minimum. Theres just enough there to carry the narrative. Everything seems in balance, but its not exactly the type of story thats going to rest prominently in memory into the distant future. Like so many other moments with The Silver Coin thus far, the third issue is likely to lurk in the periphery of memory like some semi-forgotten nightmare. Unless theres some kind of overarching theme that will come along and tie all the disparate tales of the anthology together in the coming months. Read Full Review
Much like the early stages of 100 Bullets, The Silver Coin comfortably suggests grander designs within a more conservative structure and both halves of that coin will keep me returning for more. Read Full Review
The Silver Coin is the real deal, a horror comic that is cozy in its influences and unique in its vision. Read Full Review
This was fun. We didn't see how the girl gets the coin, which threw me for a loop. But other than that oddity outside of the established formula, this was a very quick and violent issue that was really fun to read.
It was pretty good but felt like it tried to set things up, so I hope they dont treat it as just a one shot. Still think the first one was best.
