The Accessories #1 is a fantastic new spin on classic horror franchises

Posted on by Leave a comment

After lifetimes in the background, three of history’s greatest horror sidekicks finally say what they’ve never dared to before: Enough is ENOUGH! Igor, Renfield, and Mrs. Hyde have aided their masters’ diabolical missions for decades, but today is the day they stop being loyal. Today the real horror walks out the front door. The looming question is… what do they do now? These three discarded servants find each other in the fallout, forming a band of gawky but determined anti-heroes caught between angry villagers, vengeful monster-hunters and furious former employers. Their survival will take more than just guts… luckily, they know where to procure more.

The Dirt Beneath the Devil #1 is a Solid Western with a little Agatha Christie Mystery mixed in

Posted on by Leave a comment
The Dirt Beneath the Devil #1

In the dying days of the American frontier, a young woman journeys into the unknown to claim a legacy she never asked for—and may not survive. June Buckley’s father was a monster in life. In death, he may be something worse. Summoned alongside a group of treacherous heirs, June is forced to traverse the same brutal path that built her father’s empire. But the trail reveals more than hardship—it exposes the rot in every soul traveling beside her. And at the center of it all is Hendido…a creature bound to her father’s past, and perhaps to something far older and much more wicked. As the tension simmers and night closes in, June begins to understand: Her inheritance comes at grisly price. The Dirt Beneath the Devil #1 is a nice period piece with a slow build that delivers a solid shock and surprise at the end.

Westerns are a genre that seem to come and go when it comes to comic books. There’s times when they’re popular and a glut of releases and other times it’s a desert of new comics. The Dirt Beneath the Devil #1 is here to fill the gap with a debut that feels like a moody mystery set in the American frontier. Written by Dan Panosian, the debut issue takes on a familiar concept, individuals connected in some way are brought together to deal with an inheritance. There’s rules that need to be followed and all of it has an air of mystery about it. Of course there’ll be strife between them and some twists regarding the will and inheritance, but all of it, so far, is presented in an engaging way that sucks the reader in.

The art by David Ferracci is solid. With color by Lee Loughridge and lettering by Pat Brosseau, the details feel authentic and immerse the reader into the world. But, more importantly, the comic’s art has an air of danger about it. Small details build the distrust between the reader and the characters. The art also really sets the personalities. Even before they speak or act, you know what type of individual you’re dealing with. It really helps set expectations and whatever chaos and trial there is to come.

The Dirt Beneath the Devil #1 is a solid debut issue. It takes a familiar concept and puts it in a setting that feels rather new and fresh. It does a great job of building up the tension and then leaving the reader with a surprising expectation as to where things are going. Even if you don’t dig westerns, this is one that’s well worth checking out.
