Criminal Macabre: The Third Child #1 Review Roundup

09/18/2014 10:57am
Cal’s changed . . . and maybe not for the better. Locked away and drowning himself with booze and aspirin, Cal feels the evil consuming him. Will he be able to withstand its pull or will he become the monster war’s greatest weapon of destruction?

"The first issue of this arc could not have played out more perfectly had the gods of perfect comics written it themselves. Christopher Mitten was born to illustrate Cal McDonalds world. His art is gritty, loose, hazardous. It feelslike the most terrifyingly accurate representation of Niles mind. Theres some deep shit here. Like Niles said, its going to get intense. This emotional river runs wild and I have a feeling well be touching on issues like self-acceptance, addiction, forgiveness, and most importantly, redemption.” - Bloody Disgusting 
“The mystery nature behind this tale, along with Cal facing his inner demons and the sudden return of Jason Hemlock definitely have me excited for the next issue. 
Highly recommended.” - Unleash the Fanboy 
"This issue is pretty damn close to perfect.” - Comic Bastards 
"Niles and Mitten are veterans who can spin a tale.” - Comicosity 
"The artwork by Mitten is solid; bold, clean lines, as dynamic as Cals wings coupled with dark, Gothic-inspired colours and bright red blood. I like it. “ - Big Comic Page
