You want to hear about a book I’m excited about? No? Well, that’s cool… But I’m gonna tell you anyway. Nancy in Hell, that’s what I’m excited it about. It looks like complete nonsense, and I think that’s the reason why I’m excited. Much like the release of last month’s “Officer Downe”, “Nancy in Hell” looks to be this month’s over the top violent comic. But, unlike Officer Downe, Nancy in Hell is a four part miniseries which will hopefully keep us entertained until October.

So what’s the comic all about? It’s about a cheerleader who is living in Hell. Apparently, she died at some point and went there for her afterlife. When we first meet Nancy, she’s been hardened by “life” in Hell. The majority of the previews that I’ve seen of this book show that she’s probably really good at killing things with a chainsaw. Also, there’s a lot of the color “red” in the book. Whether it’s from all the blood, the demon girls, or the fire, there’s a lot of red. Hell, there’s even a blood waterfall with a skull imprint in it. That’s cool. But then, that’s about all I know about the book. The creators, writer El Torres (The Veil) and artist Juan Jose Ryp (Black Summer), have stated that the book’s Hell is influenced by the standard idea set by Gustave Dore, plus the standard set by 80s horror movies. That’s a good mix, in my honest opinion.

Anyway, the art looks good while giving us both sexy and gruesome images to behold. I feel as if someone heard my plea for more extreme nonsense violence in comics. And lately, it seems like someone out there has been listening. So thank you, whoever is out there, for making this a good year for violent horror comics. Also, thank you for not making Nancy look like a Suicide Girl. We all know I love Hack/Slash (which the main character is officially a Suicide Girl), but that’s about all I can take. So yeah, quick blog this week. See you next time.
