Actually, the main strength of "The Secret Adventures of Houdini" as a whole may well be that it's not afraid to be splashy, interspersing as it does some fairly realistic and grounded moments with high camp, and even some slapstick. Hunt and Von Gorman seem to have determined that when you're addressing a figure as infamous as Houdini, it's go big or go home.

Secret Adventures of Houdini is not overly serious, nor is it going to blow your mind, but it is a very good comic book. It's a very clever take on an icon from history, and it will be fun to see where these guys go next. Von Gorman's art was definitely the highlight for me, and is easily worth the price tag, it doesn't hurt that the story is fast-paced and fun as well! A great introduction to the comics provided by my new friends at Alterna! Read Full Review
