Sacred Six #8

SACRED SIX #8, available from Dynamite Comics on April 21st, 2021, succeeds in fleshing out Nyx as one of the lesser understood characters in Vampirella canon. The art is mildly inconsistent but not enough to be jarring, and the main story works up until the erratic and chaotic ending. Read Full Review

Flip from the gorgeous allegorical variant cover art (that perfectly describes the vampiric & predatorial nature of religious institutions) by Stephane Roux and you get a little bit of backstory to set off the pure action horror dripping with sarcasm on each page. Everything in this issue felt like cinematic , but in a sarcastic since : From Draculina busting out the bathroom stall like Superman wrecking phone booths, to her scene just unimpressively picking that jail cell lock, to Vampirella unceremoniously rising from the grave sucking the blood out the coroner pleasuring himself over her like this was Kill Bill and The Bride was learning to walk again - there is a marriage of the cinematic, the gross, and the mundane here that makes "Sacred Six" the funnest tryst you can have with your pants on. And just to revisit the flashbacks, the writer doesnt beat you in the head with it like other writer's. It feels essential but cool watching a young girl blow off a date to learn her way around a car through the guidance of her father in the same vein an adopted child is told a bedtime story by Nyx on how he came in her posession in a land that looks Medieval , but features sub-machine guns & Prius' to spice it up. Yeah it may be hard to keep up which character is which but this book made Prius' look cool, if that doesn't put the 'Sacred' in Sacred Six - I dont know what does. - Audiomack.com/cvrthebard more
