Count Crowley: Amateur Midnight Monster Hunter #1 by David Dastmalchian, Lukas Ketner, Frank Cvetkovic, and Lauren Affe is now available in print. See what people are saying:
“The Story: Dastmalchian keeps the edge in both the character and the story with this issue. There is a great mix of humor and horror throughout and the tension and pacing of the plot kept me engaged at every turn. I continue to be impressed at the world of these characters and this return has all the makings of a fun, frenetic and hilariously wild ride for the reader. I can’t wait to see where this story goes next. The Art: Ketner delivers some beautiful imagery in this issue. The style is perfect for this story and the characters pop off the page. The action is visually thrilling throughout and there are some great moments to be found in the story.”-Super Powered Fancast
“What a delightful throwback to pulpy TV monsters. Count Crowley was established as such a great lead character in the first series and that trend continues in this follow-up. An extra chef’s kiss to the zombified story host narrating the tale of a movie host. It’s a brilliant little layer that makes Count Crowley even better. It’s so great to have David Dastmalchian and his wonderful lead back in the funny books.”-Comicbook.com
“Writer David Dastmalchian crafts a tale that is straight out of an old EC Comics back-issue. In Jerri, Dastmalchian has created a complex character whose life had little meaning before spiraling wildly out of control with the discovery of real-life monsters.
Perhaps the book’s greatest strength lies in its look and style, thanks in part to the outstanding art by Lukas Ketner. Taking place in the early ’80s, the characters and locations look and feel genuine. The brilliantly-muted colors by Lauren Affe give the entire book a weathered, purely vintage aesthetic. There’s no ironic commentary or overly-saturated nostalgia here; it literally reads like the adaptation of a 1983 horror flick, only with much better writing. Equal parts Fright Night and Creepshow, Count Crowley: Amateur Midnight Monster Hunter is an entertaining yarn that both respects and embraces the genre to which it’s paying homage.”-Geek’d-Out!
