REVIEW: 'Black's Myth' #4 by Eric Palicki and Wendell Cavalcanti

BLACK'S MYTH #4

Writer: Eric Palicki

Artist: Wendell Cavalcanti

Release Date: October 20, 2021

Cover Price: $3.99

The werewolf crime story barrels toward a shocking conclusion! When Strummer disappears, we learn that Grim is a very good boy. But can he and Ben save Strummer from her kidnappers? Will they accept the help from a sad vamp? And how good are mythological creatures at handling a crisis, anyway?

Score:

★★★★☆ (4/5)

QUICK REVIEW:

Strummer's feeling the disappointment of where this investigation of Rainsford Black's silver bullets has gone, culminating in one dead end after another. Now, with the attack on the occult bookstore and the last words of The Old Man sparking a realization for Strummer, will her sudden disappearance be the end of the investigation altogether? It'll be up to Grim, Ben, and unlikely ally to find Strummer and the truth.

'Black's Myth' has been a cool detective story with some supernatural twists and turns. This version of LA, with its werewolves, vampires, and Djinns, feels lived-in yet mysterious. It reminds me a lot of 'Lucifer' on Netflix and it feels like both properties could occupy the same universe. I wouldn't mind an 8-episode series of Eric Palicki and Wendell Cavalcanti's engaging comic.

Strummer reaches her lowest point as her case has unraveled. She's in grave danger and it's up to her friends to help save her. Some big turns occur leading up to the final issue where everything will be revealed.
