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

Boasting stomach-churning visuals and a deeply unsettling premise, this series is one hell of a statement of intent for Magma Comix, and deserves your immediate attention. Read Full Review
