Vermillion Edge #1 (Review)

Neil Raymundo June 1, 2026 No Comments

Writers: Alan Mcalindon and Steven Paris Artist:: Guilherme Raffide Reverie Publications, March 2026 Vermillion Edge #1 from REVERIE Publications isn’t trying to reinvent the wheel. Instead, it sets its sights on the well-explored blend of high-concept sci-fi and cosmic horror. It mostly sticks the landing. Written by Alan Mcalindon and Steven Paris with art by Guilherme Raffide, this debut issue builds a far-future sandbox rich with potential. The title however occasionally trips over its own world-building. The story drops us into the year 2450. Humanity has tamed the stars through “gateways” that “rip” through space-time. We found that the comic does a great job of showing how mundane this tech has become. Travelling across the galaxy feels as casual as a modern-day flight, more akin to Star Wars than Interstellar. Of course, that expansion comes with a price. Here is the promotional copy: In the far future, humanity’s reach across

Westron #2 (Review)

Neil Raymundo May 31, 2026 No Comments

Writers: Shawn McBee and Maciej Jankowski Artists: Nicolas Nieto and Matias De Vicenzo Fandom Limb Media, June 2026. Fandom Limb Media’s Westron #2, written by Shawn McBee and Maciej Jankowski, with art by Nicolas Nieto and Matias De Vicenzo, is the follow-up issue to the intriguing debut. The creative team sharpen the series’ identity into something far more emotionally devastating. What initially seemed like a stylish paranormal mystery is quickly revealing itself to be a story about trauma, obsession, and the lifelong scars left behind by unresolved horror. Here is the promotional copy from the website: “A dead sister. A missing girl. Something waits in the woods. Jan Westron follows a missing-person case into Landri’s Trail, where grief, old violence, and Slavic supernatural lore begin to point at the same impossible answer.” For those who did not read the first issue, our critique can be found in this link: https://worldcomicbookreview.com/2025/06/18/westron-1-review/
