Johnson-Cadwell shares Mignola’s taste for stories-within-stories, gruesome mythologies, and a reminiscent, though less refined, illustration style, resulting in a work that is satisfyingly horrific but refreshingly imaginative and playful.
Every release by Mignola is an event, and while this lacks the epic scope or foreboding darkness that most of his work is known for, fans are sure to find a lot to love.
