Colder – Paul Tobin & Juan Ferreyra
Besides having one of the most unsettling and memorable covers on a graphic novel I can recall seeing in a long time, this is a really good horror comic.
Declan Thomas was an inmate in an asylum that burned down in 1941. He’s been in a catatonic state ever since, cared for by a nurse called Reece. And hasn’t aged a day in a long time, partly because he is cold as an icicle. He is being pursued by a really creepy antagonist called Nimble Jack who can suck out the soul of his victims.
Juan Ferreyra is quickly becoming one of my favourite comic artists. And Paul Tobin is also the author of the wonderful, and far removed from this genre, Bandette.
Kiss Me, Satan!: New Orleans is a Werewolf Town – Victor Gischler and Juan Ferreyra
Engaging tale of a fallen angel, Barnabus Black, who left heaven to join Satan, but wants to get back into heaven. He roams Earth, in square jawed human form, and ends up acting as a protector for some witches. A crime lord/werewolf wants them dead, because they know about his secret. The oldest, most experienced witch knows that his soon to be born son doesn’t carry the mark required for him to be his heir. He wants to cover up this fact by putting an open contract on them. The hopeful killers includes a vampire disguised as a maid, a voodoo cowboy and the zombie ninjas he controls, a suave wizard and even a priest and nun assassin duo. All sorts of mayhem ensues. Fun read. And Juan Ferreyra is quickly becoming one of my favourite artists.
