… There are some mysteries that continue to deepen, as Eddie learns about the curse that his father brought upon the family and the extent to which he is tangled up in demonic rivalries.  It’s excellently done, as always, with some exquisity artwork by Brian Hurtt.  I really can’t recommend this series enough; it’s got a great combination of nice writing, excellent art, and compelling plot.  I can’t wait to see where it goes next …

HollywoodJesus has posted a new review of The Damned: Prodigal Sons.  You can read it here.

Two more rave reviews agree; The Damned: Prodigal Sons by is even better than the first series!

Comics Waiting Room

“Bunn and Hurtt don’t rest easy on their laurels in launching volume two. The story moves forward, but it also moves in a different direction, not content to settle for re-treading over the same old ground.” Read the Review!
ComicXtreme

“It’s been a while since the first series came out, so it’s a little hard to gauge, but my gut reaction tells me that, yes. This is even better than the first phenomenal run.” Read the Review!

Pop Syndicate

“With The Damned, Bunn and Hurtt have two masters to answer to, the detective genre and the monster genre … Bunn and Hurtt perfectly blend both seamlessly with a great story and a lot of fun as well.”  Read the entire review.

Occasional Superheroine

“The Damned is pure fun through and through.”  Read the entire review.

Chris’s Invincible Super-Blog

“The scripts are fast-paced and intense, and the art strikes a great balance of clean linework and heavy mood that’s awfully hard to come by.”  Read the entire review.

Comics Should Be Good

“Bunn does a nice job setting up the whole story and making sure there’s some action so we don’t get bored. Hurtt, whose attention to detail is very good, has an excellent grasp on both the supernatural (an early drawing of a demon is truly scary) and the rather rococco trappings of the gangland world.”  Read the entire review. 

Great Caesar’s Post! 

“Things start off fast and brutal in this book, and I get the feeling it’s going to be that kind of ride straight to the finish.”  Read the rest of the review.

Rack Raids

“Let me say, for those that have read the first series, the second more than delivers on that excitement.”  Read the entire review.

” … A family drama that Lovecraft might have approved of — if he’d only been Mickey Spillane.”  Read the rest of the review.

Last weekend, Damned: Prodigal Sons got reviewed from all sides by ComicsBulletin.com in the Sunday Slugfest! Three reviewers, one book!“So I would definitely recommend the comic. It’s a worthy follow-up to the original miniseries, and I’m very excited to see what’s in store. Bunn and Hurtt have a great story going here, so catch it before you end up like Eddie, since you won’t be fortunate enough to come back like he does.” -Matthew J. Brady

This issue left me flabbergasted by its story and art. It twists and turns with swiftness from a crime family to the depths of hell. I think John Constantine would be jealous not being part of this great comic.” -Martijn Form

“…even though I haven’t read the first one, everything I need to know about the plot is included on the introductory page. New readers should be able to pick this up without any difficulty.” -Paul Brian McCoy
