Steve Sunu Comic Reviews

Aguirre-Sacasa and Francavilla are a deadly combination in more ways than one. Not only does "Afterlife With Archie" #1 wildly succeed as a truly scary horror comic, it is a prime example of the comics medium's potential as an adaptable art. The issue is easily one of the strongest series debuts of the year and well worth a read for horror comic fans.

"Imperial" #2 ends up working because of its charm. We're not getting enough of Mark's fiance Katie yet, and since this is just a four-issue mini-series I'm hoping that changes soon since we're at the halfway point. Still, overall, this book as a certain je ne sais quoi that pushes it into the above average zone. Whatever it is, Seagle and Dos Santos need to keep it going.
