  The moody and atmospheric storytelling of Hine and Nichols come together here for another fine issue of this supernaturalnoir series. The reliance on exposition and stiffness in the art do hold it back some, but that shouldn't keep you from checking this out. It's well worth your money. Read Full Review

  While this second issue wasn't quite as strong as the first, it is now two-thirds through the entire story and it is one hell of a tale. Once we get the set up and back story, this book rockets through some decent action but it is the immoral interplay of the characters that delights on a visceral level. This is nasty fiction about terrible people caught in a messy situation. And the twist on the last page is like a dagger in the hands of a very bad man, it's sure to deliver pain and it's probably not finished yet. But you can't look away. "Ryder On The Storm" is a great crime comic influenced by the beats and tropes of the classics, study this and understand that new stories and thrills are always possible. Read Full Review
