Terrorwar #1 is Ghostbusters with nightmares

Posted on by
Terrorwar #1

Terrorwar #1 kicks off a sci-fi horror series about working people fighting mind-bending monsters. Blue City was the last livable place on Earth. Now it’s crawling with Terrors-creatures that transform into their victims’ worst fears. Humanity’s last hope? Muhammad Cho and his overworked, underpaid crew of freelance Terrorfighters.

Written by Saladin Ahmed, Terrorwar #1 is an interesting start of a series that feels like Ghostbusters but with nightmares instead of ghosts. Much like that iconic series, this one features what feels like a blue collar crew who are trying to make a dollar while eliminating threats. It’s the detail and the world itself that makes this debut feel like more than just a reskin.

Set in the future, the series has a look and style that feels like it’s been thought out. The visuals blend The Fifth Element and Blade Runner to deliver a worn down city where the tech feels both futuristic and a bit janky. The end result makes the debut feel like Ahmed is playing as much game master as storyteller with a focus on small details that enrich the series as a whole. A quick description of a weapon or a simple conversation adds so much to what could easily have been an action focused series.

The art by Dave Acosta helps with this. With ink by Jay Leisten, color by Walter Pereyra, and lettering by Shawn Lee, the comic is packed with tons of detail. Every bit of it adds to the world and story help telling what this world is like. What also stands out is the Terror-creatures themselves. The first had me pause and laugh as it felt so out of place while the second evokes a classic character. Both help make the tone of the series bounce around a bit and keeps readers on their toes. Much like Ghostbusters, it adds a bit of humor and levity to the series and situation.

Terrorwar #1 is a great start with an overall concept that might feel familiar but the end result is a well worn world due to the detail and thought put into it all. It’s an entertaining debut that has us wondering what terrors lie in the next issue and wanting to find out.

Noir is the New Black Presents: Watson & Holmes Vol. 1

(W) Karl Bollers

(CA) Khary Randolph and Walter Pereyra

Harlem, Now. A missing girl case brings together the most famous dynamic duo in the world for the first time!

Created by Brandon Perlow and Paul Mendoza, NOIR IS THE NEW BLACK: WATSON AND HOLMES, VOL. 1 reinvents the classic detective team from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in a bold and diverse way. This reinterpretation features a mostly-black cast of characters in the neighborhood famously known as the beating heart of Black American culture for over a century.

Jon Watson is an Afghanistan war vet and works in an inner-city clinic. Sherlock Holmes is a local P.I. who takes unusual cases. Together, they race against the clock to find Trina, a missing girl tied to a web of drugs, guns, gangs and even a conspiracy!

Written by Eisner Award nominated author Karl Bollers (Marvel’s X-51, Muties, Emma Frost but also a respected editor at Valiant and Bad Idea) with art by legendary artists Rick Leonardi (X-Men, Spider-Man 2099,…) and Larry Stroman (X-Factor, Alien Legion), WATSON & HOLMES: Vol. 1 is a true gem of a graphic novel, and it comes with a brand new cover by superstar Khary Randolph (EXCELLENCE, Image Comics)!

First published by New Paradigm Studios, it won Glyph Comics Awards, was nominated at the prestigious Eisner Awards in 2014 and has been hard to find for a long time.

This new remastered edition brings the world of WATSON & HOLMES to a bigger worldwide audience through FairSquare Comics and the NOIR IS THE NEW BLACK label, distributed by Diamond Book Distributors. It comes with a brand new cover by superstar Khary Randolph (EXCELLENCE, Image Comics).

Launched in 2021 with the eponymous graphic novel anthology, NOIR IS THE NEW BLACK is now morphing into a full line of publications created by Black and African American talents. NOIR IS THE NEW BLACK PRESENTS: WATSON & HOLMES VOL. 1 is the first graphic novel in the collection and certainly not the last!

Liesel Van Helsing has always been driven by two things: science and hunting vampires. Although she inherited both interests from her father, one is a calling, while the other is her passion. But, when the supernatural and scientific parts of her life collide to take a twisted turn, Liesel is caught in the middle and must deal with the results of a failed, but very deadly, experiment. Who–or what–is Bloodborne? What does it want? And, most importantly, can Liesel stop this mysterious new creature before it gets out into the world?

Dorothy was once a young farm girl from Kansas, but now she rules in the Emerald City as the queen of Oz. The land of Oz is much larger and far older than its current inhabitants truly know, and the southern wall separating the Emerald City from the rest of the land has been broken. Now, sweeping in from the south, comes a force so evil and so powerful, that the heroes may not be enough to defend the world they love. Arriving in an all-new extraordinary adventure, Ozmo makes his triumphant return to the world he once called his dominion, to a people who knew only fear and destruction under his rule.
