Absolute Green Arrow #1
Writer: Pornsak Pichetshote
Artist: Rafael Albuquerque
Publisher: DC Comics
WITHOUT THE TRICK ARROWS… WITHOUT THE MONEY… WITHOUT MERCY… WHAT’S LEFT IS THE ABSOLUTE HUNTER!
A serial killer is slaughtering corrupt billionaires. The only clue to their identity is the mysterious green arrows sticking out of his victims’ corpses. Executive protection specialist Dinah Lance, a.k.a. Absolute Black Canary, is one of the people tasked to uncover this murderer’s identity as she investigates her suspects… all familiar DC archers uniquely linked to a recently murdered Oliver Queen.
I Know What You Did Last Summer for billionaires, Absolute Green Arrow reimagines the Emerald Archer’s mythos into a dangerous, urban horror murder-mystery by Eisner winners Pornsak Pichetshote (Dead Boy Detectives, Infidel) and Rafael Albuquerque (Detective Comics, American Vampire).
Seven Wives #1
Writer: Zoe Tunnell
Artist: V. Gagnon
Publisher: IDW Crime / IDW Publishing
Forty-nine witnesses, seven wives, one dead husband.
On Monday, April 17, at 9:04 a.m., two police detectives are dispatched to investigate a death on a Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints compound in remote Arizona. Matthew Dunn, the patriarch of the Dunn family, has been found stabbed on the pulpit of his temple, basking in the blood-soaked gaze of his savior.
Detectives Aguilar and Halwell begin the arduous task of questioning each of Matthew’s seven wives and quickly encounter a brick wall of memorized Scripture, canned platitudes, and locked lips. It becomes clear that the women’s intricately braided hair, voices with sweet affectations, and modest clothing aren’t just signs of Matthew’s brainwashing but armor they use to protect their family. But with each interrogation, the cracks begin to show — the abuse, the truth of living and surviving in this cult — and the detectives uncover the unholy gospel of Matthew Dunn.
Seven Wives is just the story you want launching IDW Publishing’s IDW Crime imprint. Zoe Tunnell and V. Gagnon craft a murder mystery with many different levels, twists, and utter surprises while also bringing the horrors of real life cults into the fray. Add this one to your pull list. – CLICK HERE to read the entire review
