  Tom Ward and Luke Parker have in four issues created a world richer and more interesting than many books can attain in years, if ever. Ward mixes the real, surreal and downright weird perfectly, without any visible seams. Parker's art is reminiscent of Mike Mignola's and he would fit in filling in on any of the Mignolaverse books easily. Parker's coloring, particularly his use of oranges and blues gives this book its ownvisual identity. These guys are on their way to bigger things, so get in on the ground floor with Merrick, it is a truly unique read in today's glut of boring superhero books. Read Full Review
