People live. People die. The "good" are pleasantly escorted off to Heaven; while the rest unceremoniously rots in Hell. Hell - a world where torture isn't retribution, it's just hazing. Isaiah Jefferson fancied himself a dashing rogue; the greatest thief of the Great Depression, but a cruel betrayal left him dead in the dirt. Erin Foley was a scared grifter desperate not to be another child fed to the violent maw of the Salem Witch Trials. When they're given the chance to leave Hell and spit in the face of judgment, can they face their demons and become the master thieves they were meant to be?

Heavenly Blues #1 is a beautiful and cleverly-written book blends dry humor and supernatural elements into an intriguing heist tale. Kahn's pacing makes the first issue feel like the opening chapter in an exciting serialized radio drama, a talent that's surprisingly rare to find in a medium based on monthly issues. With an engaging and surprisingly relatable cast and beautiful illustrations, the debut issue is a must-read. Read Full Review
While only being a first issue, Heavenly Blues #1 does a very good job of introducing readers to the two main leads and their relationship dynamic. While there isn't an overflowing amount of action or deep plot development, it's just enough to hook you in and wonder what sort of trouble Isaiah and Erin are about to get themselves into. I was pleasantly surprised by reading the book and accredit that to talent of its writer. This series is an independent sleeper hit in the making if future issues can continue to be just as entertaining. Read Full Review

Heavenly Blues is a charming excursion into a different kind of eternal punishment. With a lot of humor, great characters, and great artwork, this comic brings a lot to the table. Ben KahnandBruno Hidalgo do some great work here.You should definitely check it out. Read Full Review
Hidalgo's art is solid in many ways and reminds me of something, though I can't quite put my finger on it all. There's small details in the afterlife that tell a story on their own even if they don't do anything but be present in the background. It's the details here that adds so much. Read Full Review
Great storytelling and style, hampered somewhat by a feeling of not being completed. Read Full Review
Heavenly Blues has an undeniably great hook that's backed up with solid character development and striking artwork. You might come in for the supernatural heist but you'll stay for Isaiah's story to see if he and Erin can stick it to the holy man that judged them and sent them down to Hell. Like any good heist movie, you can't help but root for the bad guys. Read Full Review
