Grim #1

This is a great, fun read that takes a bunch of well known ideas and thoughts of death and the reaper, mixes them around to produce something new. Under the clever writing of Phillips and the gorgeous art of Flaviano, death and dying has never been as fun or looked as good. Read Full Review

The 1-2 combination of Phillips' pacing and fluid dialogue, mixed with stunning visual panels from Flaviano, Renzi, and Napolitano makes Grim #1 a gratifying read for fans of their previous works, or curious new readers looking for the next great series to latch onto. Read Full Review

This was a good start to what I can imagine is going to be a great (and enjoyable) series to read. I have so many questions about Jessica Harrow, which probably wont be answered in the next issue, but I am still excited to see what happens next! Read Full Review

Another intriguing new series from BOOM! Studios then, and while this is certainly more of an appetizer than a main course, there are enough intriguing storyline seeds being sown to make anyone picking this first issue up feel fairly confident about forking out for the second. A sharp, stylish take on the afterlife, this series has a ton of potential and is well worth a look. Read Full Review

I've really been enjoying the macabre books that BOOM! Studios have been putting out recently and GRIM #1 is no exception. A thoroughly intriguing tale which is well written and matched by superb artwork. If you like death, mystery and suspense, then this should be on your reading list. Even if you don't, pick this book up because I can assure you that you won't regret it. Read Full Review

Jessica Harrows afterlife and mysterious death pull her into the world of the reapers, though. And in Grim #1, with Phillips, Flaviano, Renzi, and Napolitano serving as our Charons, they ferry us right across with her. Read Full Review

If you can find a copy, give Grim a look. If not, give it a month or two for Boom to reprint the comic. There are many worse things than familiarity. Read Full Review

What a high-quality comic! I got that issue with Foil Cover. I'm so happy about it. This is my first Foil Cover. And it's absolute rad! I started reading this comic while a storm outside breaks loose while hearing "Grim Reaper Song" [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5UVcadjYPU] (starting with "X Ray Dog - Sorcerer"). The first part of the comic was breathtaking and I enjoyed every detailed - especially the truly awesome colors. That was a unique setting! The second part unfolds more details of the "new world" convincingly. Interesting start - I am curious how the story continues.

Off to a strong start. While the story and execution (lol) are pretty standard for these sort of tales, GRIM has enough spunk, energy, and identity to keep me interested. With a group of characters and world and lore brimming with potential, Stephanie Phillips and Flaviano have what they need to make an interesting new series.

Pretty interesting! Love the way it's illustrated. Definitely a concept I feel we've seen before, but I'm willing to give this one a spin.

This was a strong and intriguing start to this series. While I do think this, somewhat, suffers from first issue setup, I enjoyed this and I think there's a lot of interesting ideas here. The characters here are compelling and I think there's a lot of potential in terms of exploring them further as times goes on. Plus, Flaviano's art here is great and he really adds to this book.

A concept that has been done before so I'll hold judgement for now but how many times do I have to see one more soul not willing to move to the afterlife story with many caretakers' team ups straight out of the futuristic 80s. Flaviano is absolutely dialed in and his art is crisp, clean and tight lined or muddied when it's suited. We'll see what the twist is but this is a decent start for a good comic to a new reader but nothing ground breaking to someone that has consumed other similar stories.

Rather unoriginal, and hardly inspiring much hope of a decent series.
