Review: The Harvester #1

The Harvester #1 - Legendary Comics

Harvester # 1 hit comic book shelves recently and the name was the first to catch my attention and then the cover, the cover is what sucked me in. Harvester #1 is a good read, a comic book that will resonate with fans of Evil Ernie and Ghost Rider

The opening scene sets the stage for what readers know will follow; Chaos, Death and one Hell of a story. Harvester starts in a dive bar, with outlaw bikers and a well-dressed man in a suit, cut to new scene, a classroom, a few students and a speaker/researcher studying urban legend, specifically, The Harvester.  The next character we meet is a journalist turned private investigator, digging into none other than The Harvester.

Harvester reminds me of Ghost Rider, the way he is killing bad guys and taking them back to hell with him. His personality reminds me of Evil Ernie, wise-assed, arrogant and really mean. Comparisons aside this story is unique unto itself. The ultimate goal of the Harvester and his ally is unclear as of yet, but more is sure to be revealed in issue #2 and I anticipate enjoying the next issue even more.

White Dragon Comics has The Harvester #1 in stock now, plus many similar comic books for your reading enjoyment. Check them all out today.

Review: The Kitchen #1

The Kitchen #1 - Vertigo Comics

What’s a loan-shark’s wife to do when her husband and his whole crew get thrown in prison? How are she and the other wives supposed to survive? Who will put food on the table? And what happens to their men’s rackets? Writer Ollie Masters answer those questions, and more, in his new hit from Vertigo Comics, “The Kitchen.”

Jimmy Brennan and his crew were the toughest bastards in Hell’s Kitchen and their wives were well taken care of, never in need of money or want of anything, but, as we all know, life has a way of taking twist and turns that can leave a person unsure of their future. And, as life goes for these outlaw’s wives, they are soon taken out of their element; the easy life is over; the gang has been sent to the big house. With mouths to feed and no money, the wives come up with a plan to take over “the business”. No longer able to take a back seat, the women are in charge – and the “Kitchen” will never be the same again.

Ollie Masters takes a step away from his usual stories and really nails this one; no superheroes or magic lassos here, just ordinary people, in this case three strong women that need to support their families. Masters successfully conveys the desperation of the wives, without their prospective others to support them. Artists Ming Doyle and Jordie Bellaire transport readers to bygone decade. From the style of clothing, to the hairdos and the cars everything shouts 1970’s! Doyle and Bellaire’s artwork enhances Masters’ tale and gives readers a perfect depiction of Hell’s Kitchen during those tumultuous times.

The Kitchen is a good read. If you’re looking for something a little different this is the comic book for you. You can pick up the latest copy of the Kitchen at White Dragon Comics, on-line or in our brick-and-mortar store.
