Review: The Backways #1

By Patrick Wolf

Backways is a new age, gothic, horror-romance that features a pair of feisty teens out to find their missing girlfriend. While the series’ artwork is wonderful and the characters are charming, the story suffers from too much jargon and hidden exposition to be as fluid as it needs to be. At the moment, the franchise does seem to have a lot of potential, but it still needs more time to get off the ground. Until then, I’ll give it a pass.

Review: InferNoct #1

By Jonathan Edwards

I literally had no idea what this was going in. I'd never heard of it, nor had I even read a synopsis. Really, the title just kind of jumped out at me from the spreadsheet. I figured InferNoct was probably a portmanteau of the words "inferno" and "nocturnal," which was at least as intriguing as it was vague. And after a quick glance at the art, I figured I might as well commit whole hog. So, I did. And after finishing this first installment, I can't really say whether or not my prediction of the title's meaning was accurate. But, I can say that it was a decent issue if ultimately flawed.

Review: Blue Baron #2.1

By Patrick Wolf

‘Don’t judge a book by its cover’. We’ve all heard this advice and we’ve all rarely followed it. In fact, ignoring this counsel was exactly what I was doing when I picked up a copy of Blue Baron #2.1. What I initially deemed to be a mediocre indie read quickly flipped-around after reading the first few pages. Don’t let the cover fool you: Blue Baron may be the best action-comedy series of the summer.
