I think I picked this up on a Free Comic Book Day several years back.  I’m on a quest to actually read a bunch of the comics I’ve acquired over the years, then pass them on, so I can reduce the amount of stuff I own.  Most of what I’ve read recently hasn’t been interesting enough for me to feel like writing a review for the site, but this one stood out.

There was a time, in the 90s and early 2000s, I guess, where I was really into Urban Fantasy, especially the stuff that leans more toward Clive Barker’s style.  Though I’ve drifted away from the genre, generally, this was a nice reminder of how fun it can be.  Greg Rucka is one of those comic writers I pretty much always enjoy, but for some reason, rarely seek out.  I remember really liking Whiteout way back when.  I don’t recognize Nicola Scott’s name, but it seems like (as of the time this was published) she’d done a bunch of work on DC titles.  Whatever the case, I really like what she’s done here.  It’s mostly in grayscale, with occasional punches of color.  It all looks really good.

The overall story deals with a witch who works a day job as a cop.  A weird hostage situation tips her off that something is amiss.  What follows is a series of escalating weirdness.  We also get hints of villains, as well as allies.  I was pretty intrigued by how things were going, as events didn’t play out as I expected.

This is a pretty cool book, and I was left curious enough at the end to want to check out the next volume.  I think there are maybe three volumes, total.  Anyway.  I’ll have to find volume 002. 

I’m an independent author, so… If you like what I do, you can buy me a coffee. Check out my YouTube, and/or take a look at my Patreon page, where I’m working on a novel and developing a tabletop RPG setting. I’m also proud to be an affiliate of DriveThru RPG.
