I read this tonight. Very atmospheric, great art from Sean Phillips (and Jacob Phillips's colours play a very significant role in this one too) and some interesting subtext from Brubaker that makes the book feel as relevant today as to the Satanic Panic era. A compelling read.
Hello Darkness #2 was a really good read. Still loving the Garth Ennis/Becky CloOOoOoOonan 👻 story which is really disquieting in a subtle way, but the new done-in-one stories here from Azam Raharjo, FRΞDΞRIK and Wes Craig worked great too. A great little horror anthology.
Still really enjoying these Oni Press EC anthologies. This latest issue has some fun tales, including a cracking short story by Chris Condon, Javier Fernandez and Alessandro Santoro that delivers some nice twists and turns, and a great little two-pager by Ben H Winters and leomacs.
Are Jason Fabok & Brad Anderson the best art team currently working in monthly comics? On the strength of Image Comics & Ghost Machine's Rook Exodus, I think they might be. The book looks amazing - I'm constantly wowed by the art, which adds so much to an already great story.
If the first Spider-Man Reign paid tribute to Frank Miller and DKR, then the sequel builds on that but definitely leans more towards Todd McFarlane-era ASM, particularly the Venom stories. In particular #3 has a fantastic pastiche of that era, perfectly done by Kaare Andrews.
Just wanted to say a huge thanks to Adam Kreutinger - my son recently got into puppets, and your videos have been fantastic at not only showing how to build them, but also inspiring him to come up with his own ideas and giving him the tools to translate them into reality. Thanks!
