i'm not much of a comic reader, but this is definitely the exception to the rule...THIS RULES!!!! Shawn and Sam Stronghand are the reincarnation of a hellbound entity split in twain, and realize their quest for dominance by how? playing a record backwards, summmoning the dark forces that have shaped their lives from the uterus! GET THIS, OR DIE SUCKING!!!!!
Black Metal was MOST EXCELLENT.

I really liked this book a lot. The art was great and you can tell these guys respect the Black Metal. If you like comics or if you like Black Metal, or music in general, you will like this. But you don't have to take my word for it ... (go get it yourself is what I mean by this).
Black Metal....amazing.

This book is a fun, intriguing read from start to finish. Great character designs and an epic story propel the reader into a cartoony homage to the grim music of Black Metal. You can tell this book is a labor of love. Keep more stuff like this coming.
Awesome

Since day one, the genre of music known as "black metal" was asking to be spoofed. Grown men in pseudo-KISS make-up, singing about trolls, frost, castles, and frost trolls that live in castles. It's pretty silly. But I've always loved it, none-the-less. When it comes to Spear's & BB's graphic novel take on black metal (called Black Metal, of course. I mean, c'mon!), I feel the same way- it's over the top and silly. And that's the point. However, one can't really call this a spoof, because it's obvious these guys love the genre, and aren't simply laughing at it. They're honoring it in the best way possible- with a good mix of humor, violence, action, the supernatural, and an itty-bitty dash of romance. A truly grim and epic adventure!
FROSTBITTEN MADNESS!

HAILS TO SPEARS AND BB FOR CRAFTING A TRULY GRIM MASTERPIECE OF CHAOS! This book is for any fan of the finest of metals. It's like listening to the best Immortal or Darkthrone or Bathory album WITH YOUR EYES! A non-stop riveting adventure from page one on, I cannot recommend this book enough. Unless you are too weak to handle the brutality of it all, pick this baby up.
