Hello, and welcome to First Issues Now the Weekly Show Post,
2
00:00:03.399 --> 00:00:06.919
a daily ish about only the newest first issues released
3
00:00:06.919 --> 00:00:10.359
by insert comic company. Here this week I'll be looking
4
00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:13.039
at the comics released for the week of September tenth,
5
00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:18.280
twenty twenty five. Wait, Nocturnals has a new comic, Nocturnals
6
00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:21.679
the Malibu Comic. If this wasn't just audio, i'd show
7
00:00:21.679 --> 00:00:25.280
off my Nocturnal Floppy collection. But anyways, Yeah, this is
8
00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:29.519
a pleasant surprise on the pile. Time to check out Nocturnals.
9
00:00:29.559 --> 00:00:34.039
The Sinister Path number one, written and illustrated by Dan Brereton,
10
00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:38.960
with letters by Lewis Boallis. While the town sleeps, evil rises.
11
00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:41.840
A war is fought for the soul of Pacific City
12
00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:46.719
by monsters human and supernatural. But some of the monsters
13
00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:50.399
are on our side. The Nocturnals, led by Doctor Horror,
14
00:00:50.679 --> 00:00:54.359
his daughter Evening, and their band of misfit Vigilantes, are
15
00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:58.399
all that stand against an Eldrich criminal underworld. The death
16
00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:01.600
of the mysterious Judge Hemla opens am a Cobb power
17
00:01:01.679 --> 00:01:06.000
vacuum in the Eldrich underworld of Pacific City. When the Nocturnals,
18
00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:10.840
Doc Horror, Evening an armed revenant, the gun Witch investigate
19
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:14.079
the Colton Shroud at Hemlock House. What they find will
20
00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:18.239
lead them down a twisted and deadly sinister path. So
21
00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:21.120
that's the solicit but I'd argue that that's just the
22
00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:23.719
general premise. Now. The main plot is setting up the
23
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:25.840
players and the world, and it may not be that
24
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:29.319
new reader friendly. I mean, when you have a raven
25
00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:31.879
turn into a hot chick who's talking to a dude
26
00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:34.480
who's kind of a ghoul. All they're talking about is
27
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:38.159
po and everything, it can be a little head scratching. However,
28
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:40.239
I think that in the main plot of the issue,
29
00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:43.239
which is checking out Hemlock House that starts about halfway
30
00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:45.480
through the book, really does allow for a bit of
31
00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:50.000
decompression after the rapid fire cast of characters. But honestly,
32
00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:52.519
I like the plot, but the art is honestly the
33
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:55.640
reason why I will always say by this book. Burton
34
00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:58.599
has been painting this comic since it came out and
35
00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:02.120
even won an Award ninety five because of it, and honestly,
36
00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:05.239
it looks brilliant. I do think he probably switched over
37
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:08.280
to some digital painting or digital touch up work, because
38
00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:10.479
it does feel a little bit sharper, but I am
39
00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:14.400
going off of me reading this digitally versus me remembering
40
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:17.719
newsprint comics from the nineties, so my memory could just
41
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:20.840
be fuzzier. It is still brilliant looking and one of
42
00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:23.759
those things that make you wonder why Baritone or just
43
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:27.400
anyone really never became a go to painted cover artist.
44
00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:30.319
So I know this is a shorty, but my verdict
45
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:34.039
for this comic is fairly straightforward. By it by it
46
00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:37.439
means it is absolutely worth reading and you should definitely
47
00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:39.960
have it on your pull list. But there is a
48
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:42.759
caveat that I did read this digitally for the review.
49
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:46.080
I do have the physical and I think that everyone
50
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:49.039
should definitely have this on a physical pull list level.
51
00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:52.520
It is absolutely a book that on the page just
52
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:56.120
sings or screams because you know, it's kind of spooky.
53
00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:59.719
But maybe I'm wrong. Let me know what your thoughts
54
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:02.120
on this. This issue is over on Facebook at the
55
00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:05.719
Comic Archivist or Twitter at ajac underscore does it All
56
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:09.520
or Blue Sky at ajac does it All without any Underscore.
57
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:12.080
Don't forget to like, share, follow, and do all the
58
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:14.879
stuff that I'm being told is important to continue doing
59
00:03:14.919 --> 00:03:17.520
these and while you're at it. Check out the other
60
00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:21.199
podcast from carry On productions like killing fifteen minutes, Mithing
61
00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:25.319
fifteen minutes, Blanking fifteen minutes, and some hiatus stuff like
62
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:28.960
retrostatic radio or randomly fifteen minutes. I'm not on that
63
00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:32.199
one though, and more than anything, stay Golden Inklings.
