It took a little while to get into, but I was sold around the halfway mark and desperately needed to continue by the end. The level of imagination and creativity that went into some of this is absolutely staggering.
Wow, this is excellent.This is how grant morrison writes when he’s good. This is fantastic, so much so I can’t even compare it to anything except maybe....a little like the invisibles, but much better. Read it!
LOVE THE COVER AND ENJOYED THE STORY, A WIN.
Okay! So Colder Is an original series from Dark Horse Comics; it tells the story of a man named Declan, who has been in this vegetable state for a very long time, and he has been under the private care of a nurse named Reece; he's got cold sub zero skin, which they explain later in the book! Declan is also tormented by a demon? Ghost? I'm not sure, called Nimbles Jack! Long story, no spoilers short, Declan wakes up, and the adventure begins! That's as much as I can say, with no spoilers! The Art...
Shortest review I can think of is boring...art was nice tho.
Hello Declan. You will grow colder This graphic novel was a quick and easy read. I really enjoyed the artwork but the story was lacking. The concept, original, but the execution could of been better. Declan has been a ward of the state moving from mental institution to the apartment of a lonely nurse when the hospital burns down. For 40 years he has gotten colder and colder till one day Jack Nimble comes back into his life to claim what is his. Jack Nimble feeds off of the insane. And Decla
I read a digital version of this book. Colder starts with a mental asylum in 1941 burning to the ground, and a portal opening and a creepy being leaning through to Declan, a patient within the asylum with the threat he is going to get Colder. Fast forward 70 years, Declan has remained the same. Never speaking, never changing, growing colder and colder. A medical marvel, passed from care home to care home and his records being lost every time. When his last home was closing due to lack of funds
Cold is the new hot!Do you really think you are sane? But what if you just need a tiny little push or a tipsy bit of wrong in your righteous mind to prove that wrong!?! Do you think madness can't be spread? What if madness is actually a feast for a soul eater? What if everyone mad are just trapped in another world but can not get back? Now tell me what would you do when these happen to you!!Incredible! The story is so gripping that you can feel it slowly crawling up your spine! A nurse (Reece) k...
This cover is so fucking gross! And it's hugely misleading about what's inside the comic.Ew. I don't know whose idea this nasty serial killer-y/body horror thing was, but it definitely kept me from reading it, so I can only imagine there are a lot of other people out there who have been avoiding it for the same reasons. I took one look at this thing and assumed it was about some gross fucker that liked to wear people's skin. Or it was about a monster who sheds its skin...peels its skin off...som...
Bullet Review:Geez Louise. I get wanting a catchy cover art, but I had to hide this f$&@er or never get it read. -1 star for that fact alone.Story is rather absurd. Guy turns cold when he taps into crazy people (ableist much?); if he turns 0 degrees, he's a goner. Even though 0 degrees F is of no real significance and any human would have been long dead.Reece is a stereotypical damsel in distress and the only named female with lines. Who basically falls in insta-lust with Cold Boy.Best part by f...
World where strange creatures feeds on human insanity. These predators are inhabiting strange world that is something like dark mirror to ours. I really enjoyed art that bring creepy nightmares to life. However storytelling fails to set basic rules of the world like who, why and how? So whole book you are wondering if you are didn't get something or author just didn't bored with it. Anyway, visual style really worked for me so I'm willing to let the it be.
If you can get past that disturbing cover, this is pretty great. The real star is the art. Juan Ferreya's painted art is tremendous. He brings in a ton of Lovecraftian elements. And then there's Nimble Jack. He's like a contortionist version of the Joker and Ferreya brings such life to the characters. You can see the madness and menace in Jack's face. The story is a bit confusing in places and a lot is left unexplained. The gist is that Nimble Jack causes madness and then eats it while killing t...
I was originally kind of on the fence about it based on the summary alone but once I got a good look at a larger version of the cover I was hooked. That cover is AMAZING. The art all throughout this is gorgeous really, and although it doesn't get that much into body horror until near the end, if you're really grossed out by the cover then you might just want to skip it. The story is a little bit light on the details at this point but I like both the main characters and overall it's just a really...
Declan is a catatonic invalid who’s been “frozen” young for 70 years. Reece is his minder. Nimble Jack is an interdimensional demon who wants to eat Declan’s soul. Yup, that old chestnut - oh, the fun they have together!I’m surprised Colder isn’t more well-known – this comic is great! Paul “Bandette” Tobin and artist Juan Ferreyra concoct a relatively simple cat’n’mouse storyline with astonishingly brilliant horror visuals that’s really good fun to read. I can’t stress how good Ferreyra’s painte...
This was more interesting than I expected. The cover is a tad on the graphic side, and I found myself setting the book face down quite a bit if other people were in the room. So the main character, Declan, is mad. As in crazy. He's in an asylum in the 40's as the book opens. There's a fire, and in the chaos, something that looks like a rift in space opens and Nimble Jack comes through. He's a brilliant, Joker-like antagonist and he eats madness, which kills the ones he feeds from. He does someth...
When the asylum Declan Smith was in burned down in 1941, he managed to survive in a catatonic state where he never ages, but with a very low body temperature. In our time, a nurse named Reese has taken him home to observe him and to keep her company in her lonely life. What she doesn't know is that he is tied in with a supernatural character known as Nimble Jack who feeds of the insanity of people.When Declan awakens, the battle with Nimble Jack is on. Declan can help cure those with mental issu...
Declan Thomas was a patient at an insane asylum until it was destroyed in a fire. He has an unexplainable condition, he's always cold and his body temperature is still dropping. He also can cure people's madness, but will he be able to cure himself before a demonic predator gets to him?!I enjoyed this one more than I thought I would! I really loved the art and the scenes with them in the "madness" world. The concept was also very original, and I had never seen anything like it before. I would de...
Pulpy, Bonkers, Enjoyable EnoughNimble Jack is an inter-dimensional demon who feeds on madness. Once he has devoured a "crazy" mind, the remaining body conveniently commits suicide. The madder the yummier, so Jack decides to nourish the madness of our protagonist, Declan, for a few decades before eating it. In the meantime, he prevents Declan from aging by gradually lowering his body temperature, keeping things fresh and delicious. Problem is: if the body temperature drops below zero, it's game
3 1/2 starsThis horror comic from Dark Horse was a pleasant surprise. The story does feel a little rushed resulting in a lack of character development and scarce explanation of the mythology that drives the plot. The abilities and origins of Jack Nimble, the bad guy reminiscent of Joker, and Declan, the hero, are murky at best. Also there are several plot points that I felt went unexplained.However, it is a non-stop breakneck pace and you will not be bored. The standout star of this book is the
3.5*Loved the art work but the story is very disjointed at times and difficult to follow.
