Critics Review
“It all feels realistic, grounded, and larger than life at the same time. In other words…it’s METAL!” – “Nerd Initiative”
“There are so many twisting and turning stories on the Internet–especially the early years of the web–that are the stuff of legend and I think that the ballad of Witch Taint is one of them. It’s fun to hear Dave Hill retell it with a few years’ perspective behind him and with a touch of whimsy and wildness overlaid on top of an already over-the-top tale.”– “Freak Sugar”
“A wild one…a lot of fun to read”– “Nerd Initiative”
“Artist Artyom Topilin and Hill go for metal from the very first panel on… Dark Regards kicks off a wild ride of a story. Satanism, angry music labels, and bad ideas all converge for a series full of possibilities. Fans of comedies like Heavy Trip and Lords of Chaos will find much to love here… [An] outrageous descent into the darkest parts of metal.”– “Comics Beat”
“Get ready for a wild ride into the absurd… A unique blend of comedy, heavy metal, and a viral hoax that spirals hilariously out of control… A must-read… As bonkers and as entertaining as it sounds… It’s funny, original, and beautifully illustrated. Dave Hill and Artyom Topilin have created something special here, a comic that will appeal to fans of dark comedy, nerds, and anyone who appreciates a well-told, outlandish story.”– “Comic Book Addicts”
“Oni Press just flipped the switch from ‘mildly unhinged’ to ‘full-blown hemoglobin-soaked chaos, ’ and we’re here for every single drip… It’s gross. It’s glorious. It’s metal AF.”– “My Kind of Weird”
