Sorry we’re so late in posting this here but we had quite a rough build up to the festive season and then a mad dash to get everything sorted for our own family Christmas.

Comic Vine Early Review: Raise the Dead 2 #1

Posted By John Reppion on December 1st, 2010

It’s not your traditional zombie book. Not only can humans be infected with the zombie virus, but it also seems animals can be as well, at least birds can. There’s also a bit of the government’s side of things, without making it feel too much like Resident Evil. I really liked the artwork. There’s a great sense of openness and isolation in some of the panels.

Newsarama Best Shots, Advance Reviews: Raise the Dead 2 #1

Posted By John Reppion on December 1st, 2010

Confession time: I have never read the original Raise the Dead.

Confession time #2: I didn’t have particularly high hopes for the sequel, both in terms of accessibility and in terms of transcending this basic, simple question — don’t we have enough zombie books on the shelf already?

Well, consider me converted — or, depending on your nomenclature, bitten.

Posted By John Reppion on June 10th, 2009

Sherlock Holmes #2 cover by John CassadayIssue #2 of our Dynamite Entertainment series The Trial of Sherlock Holmes arrives in comic shops across the US and Canada today (UK and Europe tomorrow).

The second issue is entitled “A Locked Room” and has already received some very positive (if somewhat spoiler filled) reviews.

You have been warned!

The Complete Dracula #1 OUT NOW

Posted By John Reppion on May 20th, 2009

What manner of man...?

The Complete Dracula #1 arrives in shops across the USA and Canada today (UK and Europe tomorrow).

In addition to the advance review posted on Newsarama yesterday there is now another (more in depth and slightly spoiler-ish) one over on www.hypergeek.ca

Lets hope everyone else enjoys the issue just as much as they did. ;)

Much of the credit for the loveliness of #1 must, of course, go to our fantastic artist Colton Worley for giving the book such an amazing and different look. Someone who also deserves credit is our letterer Simon Bowland who has definitely not had a easy ride on this project. TCD is so packed with captions, balloons, documents and fonts of different kinds that a lesser letterer would doubtless have gone mental by now. So, thanks chaps – you’ve both done a better job that we’d ever imagined possible.

If you haven’t picked up a copy of TCD #1 yet, find your nearest comic book shop now with www.comicshoplocator.com.
