In an industry defined by sameness and a lack of deviation from an established formula, Demon Days really stands out as a unique take worth checking out. Read Full Review
Demon Days is a special book. Truly beautiful, with an ancestral narrative building toward a violent, emotional end. Rising Storm both clarifies and raises the stakes, setting Mariko on a course for either self-realization..or complete destruction. Read Full Review

Some of the creatures and monsters may not be recognizable, but it doesn't take away from the story of a girl in search for answers. The highlight of the issue is the debuts of Thor and Storm, who are brother and sister. Read Full Review
This issue was beyond stunning. A visual masterpiece. The story was interesting, albeit a little unoriginal. But there are few pages in any comic that have held my gaze for so long as some of the ones in this book. I just spent long minutes staring at them, captivated.
Peach Momoko continues her stint on easily the most inventive unique and inspired book coming out of the big two right now.
The manga influence snd reference to Asian folklore and religion are unlike anything else from Marvel, and it astounds me with joy they gave something like this the time of day.
Im really hoping we can see more things like this, this feels like an indie take on Marvel. The usage of "Thor" and "Storm" are fitting for their roles in the story, but the real selling point is the art. Momoko is an absolute master at her manga influence watercolor painted pages, and it is clear with this series she can sell an action scene like the best of them but with a nice twist of style no other comic artist this more
So, I love Chibi Ororo.
"We aren't yokai, we are GODS". The marriage of Japanese style storytelling and the Marvel U has got me smitten. Beautiful artwork and a legend for a story, I really hope next issue isn't truly the last one.
Excited to see what the HARDCOVER for this one will look like.
The present-day action is a trifle simplistic, but I deeply love how fully-formed and satisfying the revealed backstory is. Plus, of course, it all still looks exceptionally gorgeous. This isn't a complex story, but it's told with formidable talent.
Fantastic art but the story hasn’t really grabbed me.
The art here is great, but the story itself seems very all over the place.
Maybe I was too tired when I read this, but it feels like the plot has become utterly lost in favor of nods to Japanese mythology and superfluous action sequences.
