A review by jamesdavidward
Cry Havoc, Vol. 1: Mything in Action by Barbra Guttman, Matthew Wilson, Miguel Montenegro, Emma Price, Simon Bowland, Lee Loughridge, Ryan Kelly, Cameron Stewart, Nick Filardi, Simon Spurrier

3.0

A solid first volume. Spurrier further develops his obvious (Six-Gun Gorilla et al) fascination with the whys of storytelling, utilising it here alongside a Buffy-esqe monster-as-metaphor device. The art by Kelly and the triptych of colourists is clear and alluring, and the variant covers by some of the top artists in the industry are a nice bonus. I'm interested in seeing how the story develops, since this volume would work equally well as a standalone novel, but it's more curiosity than the breathless anticipation of the next volume of Saga, for instance. Definitely worth a read, particularly if you're new to the creators.
