review 1: Better art than the previous volume. Miyazawa's faces are way too manga-looking, but at least the layouts are better and the art is clearer. Moore's story doesn't have a lot going for it, but there are a couple of nice character bits -- I liked the part where the kids are "campin...

review 1: I've written about how I think comics encompass the highest form of visual storytelling -- the perfect marriage of images and text, allowing readers an immersive visual experience like film, but at their own pace like prose. Rachel Rising, written and drawn by Tony Moore, is an e...

review 1: These issues up the ante for the town of Manson and its inhabitants. There are a bunch of strange things happening around town, and no one seems to know what it all means. Rachel gains a friend in death and we're introduced to two of the major players in the storyline. The reader...

review 1: Losing Vaughn and Whedon is too much for this series. I didn't like the artwork and the story was just alright. In volume 9, the survivors of the Majesdane-Skrull war come to get their vengeance on Karolina who they view as responsible for the mess. I liked that the parents' crim...

review 1: Picking up from the last story, crazed DJ Val Rhymin finally figures out how to make the entirety of LA (or, the vast majority at least) into his own personal minions. With the help of a former connection of Nico's parents, Val works some major mojo on anyone in the city who has ...

review 1: For a series that showed such promise with volume one, this was awful. The first half was almost unreadably stupid and the second half just marginally better. In volume ten, a DJ who apparently is in love with controlling people finds a way to create "rock zombies" by casting a s...

review 1: Seems like a lot of reviewers gushing over this graphic novel were coming to it after being fans of Moore's earlier work. Being unfamiliar with Strangers in Paradise, I read Echo: Moon Lake without any preconceptions.Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be continuing on with the ser...

review 1: A spooky tale of possession and murder from writer and artist Terry Moore. There's a lot to like in "Rachel Rising": his black-and-white art is beautiful, as always, and he shows a nice touch for dialogue and dark humor. The friendships here are really well captured, and I liked ...

review 1: As a lover of all things undead, and on a highly regarded recommendation, I gave this a go and I was not disappointed. This volume brings together the first 6 issues of the series during which we find Rachel waking up in a shallow grave in the woods. We know not how or why or e...

review 1: This is an intriguing start to a story of which I have no idea where it is going. It's hard to review this one volume on its own because it really doesn't give much of an idea of the grander story here. I mean, it definitely sets up some mysteries, but as to where they will lead,...

review 1: Terry Moore's art is still hard for me to distinguish when black & white. Despite the hair colour changes and the freckles, it just isn't enough for me to tell most of his women apart.The story is engaging enough. When I saw volume 3 I'm like "oh, I have to read that starting f...

review 1: A sort of biological weapon-suit explodes while being tested high over the California desert. It rains to earth in tiny particles, some of which land on a young woman taking photos nearby. These particles merge and consolidate on her body into a kind of living metal plate, one th...

review 1: The art is refreshing--especially in this world of silicone and testosterone-riddled heroes. I've never seen a graphic novelist draw women better than Terry Moore, and few writers write women better. Terry Moore's characters are real and flawed and complicated, and, dammit, down-...

review 1: I've quite enjoyed Terry Moore's Rachel Rising, especially as a horror comic alternative to the increasingly tedious Walking Dead, which I once loved so well. Black and white horror books are a lot of fun, and Rachel Rising continues to offer up new and unique horrors while keepi...

review 1: This volume contains issues 13 to 18 of the Rachel Rising series and finds a lot more of the back story between Lilith (whom we met in volume 2) and Rachel and their history while Malus continues to cause havoc and corrupt any he can get his demon claws into. There was a fair bi...

review 1: well, I liked this one better than the others. I actually did kind of like it, whereas the others I was pretty neutral about. I still don't like how you had to wait until this far into the series to get any kind of backstory to really figure out what's going on. but I enjoyed the...
