An impressive first issue, “Coffin Hill #1″ is a dark and twisted police thriller that must be picked up. Eve Coffin is an interesting character whose tale is about to begin. I look forward to seeing how the mystery progresses in the upcoming issues. Read Full Review

I definitely want more. There are so many questions, so many unknown events. What exactly is this family curse? What happened all that time ago that she sought a different path in life through law enforcement? What is next for her now that she has decided to face the family history she seemed to have tried to walk away from? The witch of Coffin Hill they called her ancestor. A rich family with a lot of land and a long bloodline. All of which are cursed and shrouded in fear. This will probably play out more as a battle between Eve and herself, as such self-discovery themes often are, but I wonder how bystanders are affected by the journey? How many get hurt? And what does that do to Eve? Read Full Review

Coffin Hill simply deserves to be read by you, whoever you are. Read Full Review

A cross between The Killing, American Horror Story, and good ole' Stephen King-like New England horror, Coffin Hill just might be the new long term hit that Vertigo Comics has been looking for. Read Full Review

All in all, this is a great first issue. Great story, great art, great introductions to an interesting concept. Any readers looking for something of the supernatural sort, while also having it rooted to a great story are definitely going to need to pick upCoffin Hill. Read Full Review

Generally, Coffin Hill #1 feels like a story that could have benefitted from having a few more pages to breathe, though what we do have is enticing enough to inspire me to eagerly await next month's installment. Read Full Review

My only problem is that some of the panel layouts are weird or off, like the writer forgot to put something in there. For instance, look at the picture I posted above with the guy who looks dumbfounded. It seriously feels like dialogue should be there. Another weird moment happens on the previous page where the characters greet Eve as she comes up, but the next panel makes it look like they haven't even noticed here. It's bizarre and threw me off a bit. Read Full Review

Coffin Hill #1 is not a great first issue, but it is a fairly good one and I will definitely be tuning in next month for the sequel. Read Full Review

Other than that, Coffin Hill is a remarkably solid debut, and part of the new line-up of comics currently revitalizing Vertigo. I look forward to what Kittredge and Miranda are going to do in future issues. Read Full Review

The writing of Kittredge definitely keeps your attention. As I said earlier, I felt uncomfortable with the entire issue. Of course, it was a good kind of discomfort if that even exists. And Miranda's art has been matched up perfectly to the writing style. For a dark story, the colors really pop and the pages flow smoothly due to a nice panel format. The creators took their time planning this series, and it really shows in the first issue. I hope that it stays this way. If so, I see this title landing on top rated lists for years to come.

COFFIN HILL reads like a horror-themed young-adult novel, in the best way possible. It's decadent and reckless at the same time, it has a supernatural edge, and Eve Coffin is a thrilling vehicle for escapism if you ever got really into R.L. Stine or Christopher Pike (or whatever you kids are reading these days). There's some suspension of disbelief required, whether it's the supernatural elements, the high-society backdrop, or the fact that someone let Eve Coffin onto the police force with a past like that, but it's all in good fun, and it makes for a thoroughly engaging first issue.

I truly hope this book does not turn into a teen drama, but I honestly do not see it going that route. It did leave me with questions that I hope that are answered but for a first issue not all that bad of a read. Read Full Review

Moves a bit too fast and tries a bit too hard, but the series definitely proves that it has a lot to offer, especially if you're looking for something more traditionally supernatural. Read Full Review

Coffin Hill is a promising horror debut. It's always difficult to predict if a book will be able to maintain its momentum, especially with a book like Coffin Hill #1, which spends more time setting up Eve and her world than it does the actual story. But that's okay " sometimes, that's enough. Writer Caitlin Kittredge does solid work setting up a number of mysteries, tying them to her central character and (most importantly) making that heroine someone you'd want to follow. She found a heart beneath Eve's tougher, more muted adult persona, and having that point of view, that core personality to build off, is absolutely vital. Combine Kittredge's solid writing with some outstanding art from Miranda and de la Cruz and you've got a winner. Read Full Review

Kittredge provides an interesting tale that, despite the short comings, stands up to what she is attempting to accomplish. The story is intriguing, and I look forward to seeing the world Kittredge will show me. Read Full Review

I'm looking forward to seeing this story develop, there is a LOT here to love even though I had some issues with the specific pacing of this first issue. I think this may be a great series to "wait for the trade" and get a complete execution of the first story arc in one read. Read Full Review

The script is tight (if vague) and as the issue closes I'm still a bit lost, but there's enough in this set-up issue to bring me back for more. Read Full Review

While "Coffin Hill" #1 isn't entirely successful, there's a good book somewhere here, and I'll certainly give it another issue to find its legs. Kittredge and Miranda may have something wonderful in "Coffin Hill" if they can just pare it back, focus up and find its soul. Read Full Review

I feel this comic is going to read much better in a trade, but this single issue is so dull that a five hour French art-house film might be more exciting in comparison. Read Full Review
