“Ed Brubaker’s script is excellent, while Marcos Martín and Muntsa Vincente combine to do a great job capturing the 70s feel.”
“As before this is very well drawn with vibrant colours and detail throughout, resisting the temptation to just make everything red despite the body count. But it’s the storytelling that surprised me the most. It would be easy to make this another bog-standard horror comic, but there’s depth here, we’re getting character development and emotional nuance, which is much appreciated.”
“This is an interesting and dark piece that leaves you to fill in some blanks while clearly filling in others. It asks questions about the choices we make, and whether we can be forgiven for them.”
“This issue features a surprisingly real feeling portrayal of an emotionally abusive relationship for a comic about some unspecified supernatural creature, which makes it feel all the more unsettling.”
“St Mercy is doing enough to keep my interest, but it’s going to need a big finish for it to be essential reading.”
“Vinyl once again delivers on plot and art. I have high hopes for the final issue, but I’ll be sad to see it finish”
“We get some more excellent art here, Yonna full of sadness and fury while everyone is stylishly chopping up and shooting vampires.”
“We’re still waiting for the weird stuff to happen, but in the meantime, it’s a decent gritty western.”
“Vinyl continues to be essential reading for fans of death cults, serial killers and people who enjoy comic gore.”

“This has all the ingredients to be a bit special. One to watch.”
“It’s a strange book, but quite interesting, and there’s a high chance I’ll be rereading it.”
“Sweet Paprika is now the first thing I read when Image give us things to look at.”
