/0 Comments/in , /by

Cullen Bunn is one of the hardest working creators in comics.  Not only has he written a variety of “X-Titles” for Marvel such as Magneto and Uncanny X-Men , but he is equally well-known for his award winning Dark Horse series Harrow County.  Horror fans got a little nervous when Bunn started to shift much of his creative output to the the Marvel Universe (including the recently completed event series Monsters Unleashed), but fans have nothing to fear with his latest slice of paranoia-filled nightmares called Regression (published by Image Comics). read more

Horror News Network’s 2016 Horror Comic Awards: Best Mini-Series (Non-Monthly Title)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Horror News Network’s top mini-series (non-monthly title) for 2016 is Image Comics’ occult conspiracy title The Black Monday Murders.

Written by Jonathan Hickman with art by Tomm Coker, The Black Monday Murders is an elaborate story involving clandestine banking cartels, Russian vampires, Black popes, magical one-percenters, and more oddities in a world that resembles our own a little too much.  

Jonathan Hickman is no stranger to modern comic book fans, most notably for critical and financial successes such as Fantastic Four (some of the best work ever done on the series), FF, Avengers, and Secret Wars.   Marvel fans may not be as familair with his work for independent publishers however and this is where Hickman is really able to “stretch his creative muscles” with Image titles as Transhuman, The Manhattan Projects, and East of West.   The Black Monday Murders is no different, as Hickman works with standard occult, horror, and film noir motifs applying his own unique sensibilities to them, yet he also anchors the story in a believable setting. read more

Dark Engine #5

 

Writer: Ryan Burton

Artist: John Bivens

Publisher: Image Comics

Release Date: March 4th, 2015

Rating: 10 out of 10

 

Synopsis: THIS IS HOW THE WORLD BEGINS. Sym is trapped at the bottom of the ocean, the Enemy is on the move, and there is evil at every turn. But there is light in the darkness—the Inkface Ranger rises.

 

Our Thoughts: I consider myself a pretty good judge of horrific tentacled monsters, and I have to say the horrific tentacled monster field has been somewhat lacking in quality lately. Dark Engine #5 aims to rectify that. A godlike monster from beneath the waves has left the world in shambles – gloriously illustrated shambles mind you, but shambles nonetheless. read more
