Review: Jeepers Creepers #3

By Damien Becton

In my previous review of Marc Andreyko and Dynamite Entertainment’s adaptation of the 2001 horror movie, I stated that if you were a fan of the film like I am, then you would probably enjoy the book. I also stated that if you weren’t a fan of the cult classic, then you would have a hard time getting into the issue. With issue number three, the previous statements still hold true. But now even fans of the book may feel this book grow just a little bit tiresome and repetitive.

Review: Jeepers Creepers #2

By Damien Becton

As a ten-year-old kid, Jeepers Creepers, the movie, was an absolutely terrifying experience for me. Watching The Creeper toss bodies wrapped in blood-soaked blankets down a well and stare at the two main characters of the movie as they drove down the road is still burned into my memory - along with a haunting, but catchy tune, “Jeepers, Creepers, where’d ya get those peepers? Jeepers, Creepers, where’d ya get those eyes?!” As I got older and wiser, and I (almost) grew out of my fear for The Creeper, the movie became my favorite horror film of all-time because of its terrifying antagonist, cheap-looking, but charming, practical effects, and its’ haunting scenes. With that being said, I read this book with my all of my biases turned 100 and enjoyed the hell out of it. If you’re a fan of this scary character, then you’ll probably think this book is as awesome as I did but if not...well, find something else.

Review: Jeepers Creepers #1

By Garrett Hanneken

Jeepers Creepers makes its comic book debut after spawning three movies. For fans of the franchise, this comic delivers a glimpse of what so many have wondered: what is the origin of the Creeper?

Jeepers Creepers #1 focuses on two main storylines: a grad student named Devon working on his thesis in Mexico and the Creeper working on his consumption of human flesh. Devon’s story allows the reader to familiarize themselves with our protagonist, and although I didn’t care much for Devon, I was still able to gather his character traits: geeky and awkward. The Creeper’s story, on the other hand, was much more captivating, which should be expected, as we see the creature on the prowl for food. However, the standout moment and the glimpse at an origin was the Creeper’s ties to the Aztecs.
