Review: The Curse of Brimstone #3

By Garrett Hanneken

Action-packed comics can be a fun thing. They remind us why superhero stories are told through comics. We are able to read the dialogue between the hero and the villain while watch them fight it out through the panels. The latest issue of The Curse of Brimstone delivers on the action, but it doesn’t quite deliver on the fun.

Review: The Curse of Brimstone #2

By Garrett Hanneken

We last saw our “hero” Joe Chamberlain become engulfed in flames as he transformed into the destructive Brimstone. Picking up right after, this issue shows the aftermath of his encounter with the mysterious salesman while giving the reader a slight insight into the bigger picture. As a result, we learn more about this curse that has only just begun.

Review: The Curse of Brimstone #1

By Garrett Hanneken

A man makes a deal with the devil, a classic scenario that always turns out poorly. Which is, unfortunately, how I felt about this issue. The Curse of Brimstone has the potential to be a roaring fire, but by the end of it, I felt a spark of something that could’ve been better.

The Curse of Brimstone begins with a city on the verge of becoming a ghost town and in it lies our main character, Joe Chamberlain. Joe is down on his luck. He has no money, he has no job, his car is breaking down, and his father is on disability. Things sure don’t look well for Joe, but he hopes things will pick up after he hitches a ride with a mysterious stranger. A stranger who promises to “fix” Joe’s disdain for the town that brought him nothing but misery.
