Elliott Kalan, Andrea Mutti, Mike Marts: Maniac of New York (2021, AfterShock Comics) 5 stars

Great Halloween comic

5 stars

My Halloween season has been pretty slasher-heavy, so I finally picked up Elliott Kalan's Maniac of New York. Did not disappoint! I didn't know anything about the interior art (by Andrea Mutti), and was very pleased with the watercolor treatment, since it makes the whole story kind of dreamy and ethereal and spooky. Makes for a nice contrast with the gritty and bloody story, and also makes the more traditional lettering really pop out and make it easy to read without a lot of distraction. Very much looking forward to Volume 2!
