Review: Sacred Creatures vol. 1

If Ales Kot’s Wolf taught me anything (other than that a mediocre series can still get you back into reading comics), it’s that I’m a sucker for extra-sized first issues. So, when Sacred Creatures #1 came out in July of 2017 boasting a whopping 66 pages on top of a contemporary fantasy story (a subgenre I already prefer), I was more than a little intrigued. I picked up the first issue, as well as the other issues in the first volume as they came out, but they all ended up unread and in my backlog. That is until I signed up to review this trade.

Review: Sacred Creatures #1

July 6, 2017

By Ben Snyder

With the enticing concept of Angels and Demons playing a shadow war using humans as their tools, Sacred Creatures #1 almost reeks of a Hellblazer rip off including a blonde man who seems to have all of the spiritual answers. However, Sacred Creatures does enough in its storytelling and aesthetics to set it apart from the other would be clones and inspire hope for the ongoing series.
