Balanced critique in an unbalanced world

On resolutions, rituals and good ’80s horror.

Pumpkinhead and Phantasm for a strange, entertaining and unapologetically weird double feature.

Atlantis Wasn’t Built for Tourists slams together small-town horror and creature features to good effect.

“Ghoster” draws us in with good Gothic horror, a balanced aesthetic and enough intrigue to satisfy in a first issue.
My horror jaunts over the past two months have taught me the greatest spine-tingling truth of all: you gotta watch ’em all!
“Disorder” examines the pupating, cyclical nature of pain, transmutation and horror in impressive detail.

“Bleed Them Dry” #1 doesn’t sacrifice story for style.

Eliot Rahal dropped a double feature last week with two separate creative teams, and he was kind enough to spend some time answering my questions about “Creature Feature,” “Midnight Vista,” how he works with his teams and how his year’s going. You can find these and more of Rahal’s work wherever fine comics are sold.

“These Savage Shores” #5 is a dynamite conclusion to an epic and expertly crafted miniseries.
