Our serial killer Walter has sealed himself in an underground bunker with a sunflower death cult. Now he's being hunted by an insane myriad of Husks, Sunflower Girls, and monsters. Everything the cult can send at him. Good thing Walter didn't come alone. That's right. Walter brought along
some friends.
I said last month that I couldn't wait for the next issue. And it was well worth the wait! Another fantastic issue from Doug Wagner and the team. Such a well written story which peaks your interest with the turn of every page and when you add in the fantastic visuals of Daniel Hillyard and the eye catching palette of Dave Stewart, you know you are in a for a treat. There is something about this series that is just enthralling to read and I couldn't help myself in re-reading it multiple times and each is as good as the first. Read Full Review
Vinyl continues to be utter perfection for me. Wagner and Hilliard blew us away with Plastic, but Vinyl is on a whole other level. Read Full Review
Walter continues in his attempts to extract his new friend, and FBI agent, from the clutches of the local death cult by sending in acquaintances with the same tastes as himself into a situation where angels would definitely fear to tread. Read Full Review
The story by Wagner is very cool. He always writes a great script and this is no different. The artwork by Daniel Hillyard is fantastic as well. Read Full Review
Vinyl #2 manages to up the game from the first issue in meaningful ways that not only make the story more interesting, but establishes a world that has room for exploration. Read Full Review
'Vinyl' #2 stages the first battle between Walter and Madeleine in the attempt to save Dennis. If you don't think a team of serial killers on a rescue mission could be fun and disgusting at the same time, think again. Read Full Review
The serial killers as superheroes analogs were awkward in Vinyl #1 and approach being unbearable in issue #2. Read Full Review
I'm really starting to dig this series. It is creepy, unsettling, and down right graphic. Wagner's writing is great and the art is amazing too. It looks so normal, then hits you with all this violent graphic imagery. I can't wait to see what issue three brings to the table.
I think I may be starting to regret my decision to read this series. I feel like there is a whole lot of backstory that I'm missing out on. It's detrimental. I can't figure out whether this is a sequel to something or not. It's fun, in a schlock kind of way, but I'm not really sure if I want to read more.
