Locke & Key: Crown of Shadows #1 Review
by
IDW, $3.90 Story: Joe Hill Art: Gabriel Rodriguez, Jay Fotos Having heard nothing but praise for Joe Hill’s original supernatural series, I bull-headedly decided to jump on the train at the third carriage. Yup, this third volume/act in the series isn’t exactly welcoming to new readers. Not that is necessarily should be, but I’d advise…

Victorian Undead #1 Review
by
Wildstorm, $2.99 Story: Ian Edginton Art: Davide Fabbri, Carrie Strachan The current trend in lazy literature seems to be the implementation of zombies or vampires into every pre-existing work of fiction under the sun.

The Ghoul #1 Review
by
IDW Nov 09 $3.99 Story: Steve Niles Art: Bernie Wrightson Colours: Tom Smith Try as he may, Steve Niles has never quite outdone 30 Days of Night. That title brought him such attention; party because it was good, but largely because it ran on such a clever and instantly “gettable” premise. Niles latest series for…

Greek Street #3 Comic Book Review
by
Vertigo Writer: Peter Milligan Pencils: Davide Gianfelice Colours: Patricia Mulvihill Issue 1 of Greek Street was quite possibly one of the bleakest, unpleasant comics ever published by Vertigo. While the series has yet to top supposed protagonist Eddie’s self-castration, Peter Milligan has managed to reach the end of Issue 3 without a single joyous moment.…
