Comic & Manga Reviews
Once again, behind on the times, I'm trying to catch up on all the series I've missed out on. One such series is The Silver Coin, a horror anthology created by several of my favorite comic writers and authors. A big no-brainer for why I needed to read it!
The first plot arc in Vampire The Masquerade Comics ends with Vampire the Masquerade: Winter's Teeth #5. The World of Darkness has again come to life, telling two unique tales of vampires and politics.
Soma is such a strange yet fun tale; I don’t even know where to begin. It takes one comic book artist (ironic, I know) on a grand adventure that involves aliens and saving the world. The characters, even the human ones, are completely out of this world in the best of ways.
Dracula as a sword master in the modern world? Well, color me curious. Blood Blade Vol. 1 is a dynamic beginning to a world where Dracula has been reborn, again as a vampire, but this time as a woman with katana skills.
I have been meaning to read I Hate Fairyland for (checks notes) eight years!?! How did that happen? Anyway, I’m super late to the scene but better late than never, right? I Hate Fairyland Vol. 1 is an instant chaotic mess, and I loved every second of it.
The World of Darkness will never die, not while tales from that captivating world still pop up. In Vampire: The Masquerade: Winter's Teeth #3, two differing vampire tales continue, providing a dark view into their lives.
Night People is a compelling and sometimes disjointed story about a collection of people. Every person in this story has a reason for committing crimes, from simply liking it to trying to survive. It makes for an interesting view of the human soul.
Slice-of-life meets follow your dreams? Where do I sign up?! Bless Vol. 1 is a sweet introduction to a very human story. We have two characters who have deep desires about what to do with their lives - yet society keeps trying to pigeonhole them in a different direction.
So, I’m very behind on the times here, but I’m finally diving into Black Cloak. I should have done this sooner since one of my favorite comic authors (Kelly Thompson) is at the helm. Even aside from that, Black Cloak has a compelling premise - magical cities, royalty, and a police procedural all wrapped into one. What more could a girl ask for?!
The World of Darkness is back again in Vampire the Masquerade #2. The second issue in this series is already proving to be just as memorable as the first. And potentially even darker, an impressive feat, to say the least.
