The Curse of Brimstone #7

The Curse of Brimstone #7 spent more time pushing us into that area where it is now becoming a race against time to put a stop to this madness before it consumes Joe and Annie. Some may say the quickening of the pacing was sudden, but we did ultimately need to see some problems arise given the time Joe has already spent as Brimstone. Read Full Review

It's a good, creepy issue, but it still feels like there's very little substance to this comic. Joe and Annie wander from town to town, fighting demons, but any progress in terms of story development is slower than molasses. Read Full Review

Despite the opening fight scenes, this was a story about introducing new characters and arranging chess pieces for the next chapter of the story. I think it can be a difficult process, but Eduardo Pansica and Justin Jordan do a nice job of using suspense to pull it off in this issue. But, now that we have established that the new players are making big moves I would love to learn more about their motivations and how this will come to impact the story of Joe and Annie.

As Brimstone dives deeper and deeper into its mythos, it gets more and more difficult to care about the story. Read Full Review

The Curse of Brimstone #7 continues with another excellent issue. After taking down another of the Salesman's pawns. Joe and Annie continue their journey and discover another small town under his influence. The story direction should be getting old but the scenarios keep getting darker and more interesting as the series progresses. It's a real shame that the series has been canceled.  In this issue, the town looks pristine from the outset but upon closer inspection, it's clear that something is terribly wrong as all of the inhabitants are missing limbs.  The situation is already pretty dark and gets downright grim when it's revealed that beyond the dismembered townsfolk, women and children are being trafficked into town against their will.  The Curse of Brimstone is without a doubt my favorite comic under "The New Age of Heroes" banner. Imagine Spawn on a road trip and you have Brimstone. The art direction for this issue is flat out gorgeous. The team of Eduardo Pansica, Julio Ferreira, and Rain Beredo deserve praise. The issue is the perfect blend of anti-heroics and atmosphere. I'm currently reviewing a legit horror comic and the atmosphere is ruined by the colorist. This issue is a perfect example of how it's done, the right way. While trafficking is nothing to take lightly I appreciate Justin Jordan, not shying away from mature storytelling and themes. The Curse of Brimstone is a top tier horror series that deserved much more attention than it received. more
