“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.

” … 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
