Review: By The Horns #7

Posted on by
By the Horns #7

I feel like a broken record when I say that the short version of what you’re about to read is that once again, the creative team have delivered a brilliant comic. By The Horns #7 is another high quality entry in a series that keeps hitting new heights.

Written by Markisan Naso, with art by Jason Muhr and colours by Andrei Tabacaru, the comic picks up more or less where issue five left off before issue six took an origin/zero issue style break with Elodie, Sajen, Zoso and Evelyn continuing their quest. Albeit now instead of trying to kill the unicorns, Elodie is trying to save them after Zoso’s revelation that he could heal Elodie’s husband (whom I had assumed was dead and not in a coma, but after rereading the issues, I realized that was an assumption on my end as Shintaro was never explicitly stated as dead, only gone).

By The Horns #7 has a little flavor of everything we’ve seen in the series thus far; fantastical creatures in fully realized cultures, fast violence against vivid backdrops all set against an emotional story that will pull on different strings depending on what you’re feeling in the moment. The series as a whole has been very moving, both the ups and downs of the emotional spectrum, and sometimes the same scene can leave you with different feelings on a second reading. Naso’s storytelling has been utterly wonderful throughout the series.

As always, Muhr and Tabacaru are brilliant. I’m not running out of ways to describe how much I love the art in this book, but I fear my metaphors and analogies are becoming increasingly more erratic and far reaching as I try to put words to (digital) paper in order to capture art that is amongst the best I’ve seen all year. By The Horns is an utterly gorgeous series.

You’re doing yourself a disservice if you’re not reading By The Horns #7.

Scout Comics New Chispa Imprint Announces The Black Demon Movie And Comic Series

Posted on by
Attack at Acapulco: A Black Demon Tale

At New York Comic Con 20221, Scout Comics announced that it’s partnering with Mucho Mas Media to launch the LatinX comic imprint Chispa Comics. The new imprint, helmed by veteran comics creators David Bowles, Hector Rodriguez III, and Javier Chapa, was created to explore within the global LatinX community and communities of color to find diverse creators and curate stories that are culturally relevant across various mediums of entertainment.

Their first release, Attack at Acapulco: A Black Demon Tale, puts readers in the middle of the busiest week of the season when things on the Pacific coast of Mexico are not as they seem. Written by Sebastian Martinez-Kadlecik and illustrated by Bruno Oliveira, Attack at Acapulco is rooted in the Mexican myth of the Black Demon, an ancient megalodon that lurks the seas, guarding nature at the behest of Tlaloc, the supreme Aztec god of rain, earthly fertility, and water.

Revealed this week, Josh Lucas will battle a giant shark in The Black Demon, a survival thriller from Rambo: Last Blood director Adrian Grunberg. The film was written by Boise Esquerra and is set to start principal photography in December on location in the Dominican Republic.

The film follows oilman Paul Sturges (Lucas) as he takes his family on vacation to Bahia Azul. There, the coastal town he and his wife once knew has mysteriously crumbled and the locals are nowhere to be found. Paul starts off his day with a routine visit to inspect his nearby oil rig, but before he knows it, his entire family has landed with him on the rotting metal tower. From the depths of the ocean rises a massive megalodon known only by its name: the Black Demon. Under constant threat from this primeval species of shark, Paul must find a way to get his family back to shore alive.

The Black Demon is produced by Mucho Mas’ Javier Chapa and Silk Mass’ Jon Silk, alongside R.U. Robot’s Petr Jákl. The movie is executive produced by production company Mucho Mas’ Phillip Braun, Simon Wise, Bruce Barshop, Vincent Cordero, Highland Film Group’s Delphine Perrier, Arianne Fraser, and Henry Winterstern, The Avenue’s JJ Caruth and R.U. Robot’s Martin J. Barab. The Avenue and R.U. Robot are on board for financing.
