REVIEW: 'Vinyl' #6 by Doug Wagner, Daniel Hillyard, and Dave Stewart

  VINYL #6 Writer: Doug Wagner Artist: Daniel Hillyard, Dave Stewart Publisher: Image Comics Release Date: November 24, 2021 Cover Price: $3.99 Critic Reviews: 2 A sunflower death bunker ablaze. Ella Fitzgerald blaring in every room. It’s Walter versus Madeleine. Score: ★★★★☆ (4/5) 'Vinyl' has been quite a ride. As issue six arrives as the concluding chapter, it's been one blood-soaked road to the finale by the twisted creative team of Doug Wagner, Daniel Hillyard, and Dave Stewart. In this world of serial killers who are as tight as a family in the same way the 'Fast & Furious' crew are, Walter is Vin Diesel and this is his last ride.  Consisting of violent gory deaths and black humor, 'Vinyl' has been a surprisingly delightful horror series where serial killers assemble like psychotic Avengers to help Walter rescue his "friend" and FBI agent from the clutches of a cult led by a woman named Madeliene. Another agent, Victoria, is caught in t...
