    Writers Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelley poetically spin out a riveting tale which compels the reader to turn page after shocking page. Artist Eamon WInkle and colorist Jay fotos combine their skills to develop a visual landscape that lends gravitas to the story, rooting the reader in otherwise unbelievable events. Letterer Shawn Lee takes his craft to the next level as the varying styles ranging from classic to contemporary shift the context meaningfully. Beautifully laid out, and  terrifyingly grotesque, Principles of Necromancy No. 1 fills the reader with ominous dread, but forbids us to put it down. From the striking cover to its unforeseen climax, it is clear that this book pulls no punches, and leaves us not just wanting more, but needing to know whats coming next. Read Full Review

    The Principles of Necromancy #1 is a solid start that horror fans should enjoy. The fact that it can be enjoyed on its own is a bonus making it a comic that can be picked up and read or continue on for further twisted visions. It's also a solid start to the publisher making us even more excited to see what's next. Read Full Review
