Review: Lady Demon #4
It is perhaps still a little unclear about what Dynamite aims to accomplish with its Chaos imprint. There was some interest initially around these titles, but as they were rolled out it became evident that perhaps there was little different about them that wasn’t already on the market. After all by resurrecting the likes of Vampirella, Dynamite already had a supernatural bad girl on its hands, and it wasn’t even that successful at maintaining interest in her. If there is to be any future for the imprint though, it will rest in series that can produce similar quality as this series. Although this series is no great standard bearer in terms of its exceptional quality, it was a fun read throughout, which was brought to a close in the entertaining final issue.
A lot of this series relied on the simplistic setting of rural Arkansas as opposed to other series which have focused on political bickering within the realms of Hell. This added human element is where this series succeeded, even if the series was fairly heavy on action throughout. This final issue is no different, as while there are some slower moments between mother and daughter and between Lady Demon and Violet, it mostly focuses on the battle between those calling upon an ancient destroyer versus those few who are trying to stop it.
It is the strength of character that is built into Violet which allows this series to succeed, and this final issue is indicative of the series throughout. There are some fun action sequences, perhaps none of which is particularly memorable, but equally this series had more than a few redeeming factors. It is a better mix of the supernatural into daily life than what many are able to achieve, partially because they kept it simple and focused on basics.
