Aug 03, 2022The art style is gorgeous and captures the dream-like state of the narrative, and while the book hasn't quite leaned into abject horror, we won't be surprised if things get darker before they get lighter as we embark on this journey. Read Full Review

The art is soooo fantastic. Peach Momoko, I never want this to end. A ton more characters and myths are introduced, as a result the issue is super expository, but the plots been set up and I'm excited to see where this goes. Again, the artwork in this is stupendous.

I enjoyed this, but I felt like the connections to Marvel comics weren't as strong as they were in Demon Days, though I'm assuming there will be more in the coming issues. Not overly eventful, but as always Momoko's art is beautiful to look at.

Peach Momoko's personal AU just gets more and more gorgeous; this issue is a bonafide visual feast. On the words and story side, I really like the deep dive into Mariko's character; it draws me in. I can't say the same of the plot yet; it's a little slow and opaque so far.

Beautiful art, the story thou is just flat. While it's clear that it follows traditional Japanese folklore it feels like all the characters fall into predictable anime tropes. Thou maybe not a bad thing for those that are here for that.
