GWW - B Ferg
Jul 22, 2020The young defense attorney, I assume they named him Perry, representing his father. An unfortunate and desperate situation led Benton to Docktown. A chance encounter providing him the opportunity to take care of his son, his wife. Amazingly it seems his solution is a drug that does what the name says for once. Bliss provides ignorance….and in a bad place like Docktown the individuals that Benton encounters seem to believe that is Bliss. Read Full Review

Comics: The Gathering - Nick Devonald
Jun 20, 2020It’s a surprisingly emotional comic, with excellent writing and a unique and exciting concept at its core. This first issue only just introduces us to the world and the characters and while it’s an excellent and entertaining story it feels like this issue is only setting us up for the larger story. There is a rich mythology that is just begging to be explored. Yarsky’s art brings this story to life and makes the world and characters feel real and alive. Read Full Review

Major Spoilers - Jonathan Cadotte
Jul 26, 2020There's something going on with this book that I can't quite put my finger on yet. While the plot here in the first issue isn't going to blow anyone away, there's enough going on around the peripherals, especially visually, that I think it deserves a few more issues to see where it goes.
