Despite only being one issue deep, this is one of my favorites, if not my favorite, of the NAOH so far. I love the concept, the art, the fact that it takes place in a small town (a rarity for a DC hero).
I got to meet Philip Tan two days after issue one came out and told him it felt like classic Vertigo and he said "Shhhhh! Don't tell DC that!" and that they purposefully tried to sneak in some Vertigo elements lol. He also seemed extremely grateful to see support for his new series and was asking me what I thought of it. It seems like he genuinely cares, which is awesome, and I hope that means he'll be sticking around on art duties for a while.

It's time to let off some steam with a classic "water vs. fire" showdown!

The Hound as an ice opponent followed by Détritus, a water one ? It'll be interesting, but I can't wait to see Joe squaring off with another kind of elemental Cursed.
'The Curse of Brimstone' was so good that I may break my "no new monthlies" rule. Trying to move to trades, but Justin Jordan & Philip Tan knocked this one right out of the park.
Brimstone is very cool. Love the feel and the sense of crushing isolation. The art is unique and beautiful and fits the story. Harsh yet warm at the same time. It's going to be an interesting ride.
Beware, spoilers lie ahead.

Another awesome issue. The Hound is impressive, and I hope that somehow she'll survive the encounter, I want her to hound (eh) Joe a lot more ! The Salesman truly is a monster, considering the horrible things he has done to those forgotten towns, and I really wonder what is goal is. Creating more demons on Earth ? If then, for what purpose ? Overall, his presence truly make this a great horror story so far, and the art just add to it, complementing the story so well !
Annie is proving to be an awesome supportive character. I want to see her survive, but I have a very bad feeling...
So, issue 3 is out ? What did everyone thought of it. me ? I really liked it, even if I'm a little sad for the Hound apparent demise.
