Vanish #1 Nails Nostalgic Image Visuals

Review Overview
3.5

In the first few pages of Image’s Vanish #1 you can see the callbacks to early Todd McFarlane-style illustrations. A comic book that both brings modern touches with nostalgic imagery.

From Donny Cates (God Country, Hulk, Thor), Ryan Stegman (Venom, King in Black), JP Mayer (Absolute Carnage, Fantastic Four), Sonia Oback (Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows, Han Solo), and John J. Hill (Crossover, Harley Quinn), the all-star creative team that brought you Venom, comes an all-new take on the classic hero’s quest! Vanish #1 hit shelves at your local comic book shop on Wednesday, September 21.

Oliver Harrison was a mythical hero who slayed the greatest threat to his realm before even hitting puberty. But that was then.

As an adult, Oliver leads an average cookie-cutter suburban life-aside from the fact that he’s mentally unstable, massively paranoid, smokes like a chimney, and gets blackout drunk every night to hide from his horrific nightmares. Will the arrival of a superhero team called the Prestige prove the madness isn’t all in Oliver’s head? And what about all the epic fantasy crap from his childhood?

Cates and Stegman continue to take over the comic book world after their extreme success with Marvel‘s Venom. The two brought their partnership to the creator-owned side of things and will make those fans of Venom happy campers. Although Vanish is not the cup-of-tea I was hoping for, the book is excellently crafted and should be a success for the two comic book visionaries.

Stegman’s artwork is what stands out the most for this comic book reader. His ability to take a modern twist to early Image Comics illustrations was outstanding. When flipping pages I immediately saw glimpse of Spawn #1 and said to myself “wow these angles and faces look just like how Todd McFarlane would draw.” The layout and depth of characters just adds to the story.

I have always been a huge Cates supporter and with the team-up like this one it was a must-buy. His current creator-owned work on Crossover has been something I have really been into as of late and am hoping to continue to follow his career. However, Stegman is the main reason I will be adding Vanish #2 to my pull list when the book drops on October 26, 2022. I hope the artist continues to amazes with his stylings.

Also a big fan of the logo design for the series. As a graphic designer some comic book logos tend to make me think twice about picking the issue up to read. Vanish doesn’t have that disadvantage.
