Review: 30 Days of Night #1 (2017)

By Dustin Cabeal

I’ve read a lot of 30 Days of Night. At one point it was the comic that put IDW on the map, and the offshoots were a staple in their monthly publishing line. When I saw a new 30 Days of Night I wondered, what the hell is this then? Even after reading the issue I was a little bit confused until I saw an ad for it in another IDW comic. It’s a re-imagining of the story “for a new era.” This era doesn’t feel vastly different from the era in which it came, but it is over fifteen years since the original series released. It feels like ages since that shit fuck movie as well.

The ongoing series—first co-created by Image Comics co-founder and partner, Marc Silvestri, with Brian Haberlin, Michael Turner, and David Wohl—is set to launch this December.

Zenescope Reveals New Grimm Fairy Tales Series

By Dustin Cabeal

I was curious what Zenescope would do after ending their longest running titles and truly one of the longest running small press monthly titles as well. The answer it seems is, give Sela a daughter and go back to their roots. Which isn't bad. I'm kind of for it actually because I think shared universes in comics have become a pain. Everyone wants one, but even the big two are struggling to make people care about all aspects of the universe. I'm glad to see at least one publisher return to making stories that are self-contained rather than a part of a whole. We'll see how that story actually turns out though because Joe Brusha is writing it and while he's been better lately, he still has plenty of room for improvement.
