Sister Imperator #1

This comic, going in, was not what I was expecting at all. But after reading this first issue, I'm sold on this book. For fans of Ghost/Metal Music, this is for you. For fans of Horror comics, this is also for you. And for fans of really good stories, this is something you will want to check out. Dark Horse has another fantastic series on their hands.

Overall Sister Imperator #1 is a solid start. It sells the concept perfectly whilst showing the limited, four-issue run is neatly paced to fill in the gaps from the opening kill scene. Whilst it doesn't break any new ground it does go above and beyond being a simple musical tie-in. Read Full Review

Doubtlessly there will be some complexity that will be explored as the series continues. However, the first quarter is just setting up basic premises of pacing and conflict and things of that nature which absolutely need to be rendered in order for the rest of the story and the rest of the series to make any kind of sense at all. And everybody involved is doing a very good job of delivering that to the page in the course of the first issue. However, there isn't much to necessarily draw the reader into a second issue that feels all that terribly interesting. It's a fun story. But there isn't enough there. Read Full Review

I'd say give it a shot if the art grabs you. There's definitely something hereit just needs time (and maybe a tighter script) to fully come together. Read Full Review

I'm a big fan of the Ghost band. I like the music and the aesthetics a whole lot. The lore, however, is not something I'm incredibly interested in. I don't really mind it, nor do I anticipate it. I see it for what it is: A marketing tool to sell the music. With that in mind, I wasn't expecting a ton from this comic. What I got was pretty good. The pacing could be a lot cleaner, and some lines don't come out as I think they were intended, but it's serviceable.
