Dark Horse New Recruits

(Dark Horse, 2005)
™ and © 2005 Dark Horse Comics, Inc.and respective creators

Humor, horror, sci-fi, existential despair, and Victorian paranormal detectives with a superhero sidekick. No one ever said Dark Horse didn’t cast a wide net. The New Recruits release gives readers a taste of the talents laboring in their future. It’s also good fun in its own right. The lack of any of unifying element besides their authors’ nascent Dark Horse careers doesn’t jar from story to story, and it’s really quite an impressive contrast to go from a clean-line, animated style to a deeply graded, textured work of horror. Each story achieves its aim, be it the eerie motion of “Wild Talents,” or the ne’er-do-well world domination of “The Mighty Skullboy Army.”
