By Zack Quaintance — We are now three issues into Black Stars Above, a cosmic horror historical fiction story set in the snowy Candian wilderness (redundant, much?) during the 1800s, and I am both happy and deeply unsettled to report that this book has lost none of what made its debut one of the best of last year. On the contrary, as this book has continued it has started to accomplish something that is incredibly difficult.

By Zack Quaintance — Through two issues, Black Stars Above has quickly established itself as a comic unlike any other. Admittedly, this sounds cliche — and, to be sure, a case can be made that the vast majority of creator-owned comics are wholly unique — but Black Stars Above is singular to the extent that I struggle to find even a vague point of comparison with any comic that has come before.
