We're pretty pumped to announce that legendary American horror magazine Fangoria has given Harbor Moon 3 out of 4 skulls. An institution for horror fans everywhere for a long time, Clay Mcleod Chapman proclaims, "HARBOR MOON (written by Ryan Colucci and Dikran Ornekian) heralds a new crop of indie-comics craftsmen who deserve the plaudits likely heading their way."
"Inking with a murkiness reminiscent of Dave McKean’s graphic novel game-changer ARKHAM ASYLUM: A SERIOUS HOUSE ON SERIOUS EARTH, artist Pawel Sambor (with Nikodem Cabala receiving a supporting artist credit) has dragged his panels deep into the shadows, letting the darkness do most of his dirty work. There’s a fun interplay between what’s actually on the page and what the reader’s imagination projects upon them, filling in those unfathomably black panels with rendings of flesh as townsfolk transform into werewolves."
"...when the claws finally come out and the flesh gets shredded, a beacon of bleeding light mercifully pours forth from this book. Colors take on a palpable presence here, and the pages glisten with viscera, pulpy enough to drench every panel. Blood splatters with such vivid intensity, one might feel the impulse to take a tissue and sop up the excess dribble. You’ll need a mop to flip the page."
"Fans of Steve Niles and Ben Templesmith’s 30 DAYS OF NIGHT, take note: HARBOR MOON shares an aesthetic kinship with its comic cousins in Barrow, Alaska. These graphic novels possess such a similar gloom-hued visual sensibility, one can easily imagine a comic-book mashup of the two. That was the fantasy that slipped through this reviewer’s brain while flipping through HARBOR MOON, at least. Reading them back to back makes for a rather satisfying pairing. Think of them together as a TWILIGHT SAGA for gorehounds."
