BLURB REVIEW:
Youngblood #2 (Image Comics – June 2017) by Chad Bowers and Jim Towe with Juan Manuel Rodriguez
I would like to be snarky and be cynical, but I have to admit that I am really liking this new Youngblood comic book. Writer Chad Bowers is keeping things relatively simple, introducing new characters and reviving “classic” Youngblood characters. I don't remember much about the original Youngblood series, but I like the way in which Bowers is bringing together the past while pushing forward with new blood. Artist Jim Towe and colorist Juan Manuel Rodriguez are quite good on covers and splash pages, and I can see Towe's storytelling steadily improving. Simply put, I like what Bowers and Towe are doing here and so far, I enjoy the read.

From: FROM UNDER MOUNTAINS #2
IMAGE COMICS – @ImageComics
[This review originally appeared on Patreon.]
STORY: Claire Gibson and Marian Churchland
SCRIPT: Claire Gibson
ART/COLORS: Sloane Leong
MISC. ART: Brandom Graham (pp. 22-23)
COVER: Marian Churchland
28pp, Color, $2.99 U.S. (October 2015)
Rated M / Mature
From Under Mountains is a new comic book series published by Image Comics. It is produced by the creative team of Claire Gibson (story and script), Sloane Leong (art and colors), and Marian Churchland (story and cover art). From Under Mountains is set in the world of Akhar and will focus on the partnership of a lord's daughter, a disgraced knight, and a runaway thief – a union that will change the course of a world in turmoil.
From Under Mountains #2 opens with the funeral of Marcellus, son of Lord Crowe, who is the Lord of Karsgate (a northern land in Akhar). Meanwhile, Tova, the young thief who witnessed Marcellus' death, is on the run, terrified and hunted... and haunted.
I have lost track of all the great first issues I have read that actually did not result in great comic book series. Thus, I had reason to be suspicious of From Under Mountains, which had a super-freaking good first issue. Now, my innate pessimism has to deal with this fact: the second issue is superb. So, how many times has a great first and second issue resulted in a not-so-great comic book series...
Seriously, I'm ready for issue three of this evocative and mysterious new comic book series. Reading it is like experiencing something secret and magical that will give up its secrets and magic, but only in small powerful doses. And yes, you will want the secrets, and you will drink in the magic.
I think From Under Mountains will be an excellent read in trade paperback form. I found myself going back more than a few times to the first issue while I read issue #2. I'm being truthful with you; you will go back and discover something you missed. That in itself is a kind of magic. There has not been as many great epic fantasy comic books as we would like to think, so From Under Mountains has the potential to be a fantasy comic holy mountain.

Review: FROM UNDER MOUNTAINS #1
IMAGE COMICS – @ImageComics
[This review was first posted on Patreon.]
STORY: Claire Gibson and Marian Churchland
SCRIPT: Claire Gibson
ART/COLORS: Sloane Leong
MISC. ART: Brandon Graham
COVER: Marian Churchland
36pp, Color, $3.99 U.S. (September 2015)
Rated M / Mature
From Under Mountains is an ongoing fantasy comic book series published by Image Comics. The series is from the creative team of Claire Gibson (story and script), Sloane Leong (art and colors), and Marian Churchland (story and cover art). From Under Mountains is set in the world of Akhar and will focus on the partnership of a lord's daughter, a disgraced knight, and a runaway thief – a union that will change the course of a world in turmoil.
From Under Mountains #1 opens with a magical summoning. Then, the story sets about introducing the main characters. In Karsgate (a northern land in Akhar), Elena, the daughter of the Lord of Karsgate, wishes to have the freedom to roam the world that her brother, Marcellus, has. Her father has other plans for her, plans he believes will secure his family's future.
Elsewhere in Karsgate, Tova, a young thief, plans to steal her way into Karsgate Keep. However, it is at the keep that she witnesses something supernatural and horrifying. Meanwhile, in Akara, the center of power and the seat of the king, down-and-out knight, Sir Tomas Fisher, is brought before a powerful councilor, Vassedin, who has a proposition for him.
From Under Mountains looks like a fantasy epic and will apparently take place in a land of embattled rival clans and will feature courtly intrigue, magic, heroes, villains, and goblins. After reading it, I recognize elements that are familiar to high fantasy. From Under Mountains seems like a version of A Game of Thrones touched by Lord of the Rings.
Visually and graphically, however, From Under Mountains looks different. The characters are not lily white, as if this were a film filled with the finest that Anglo-Saxon, Celtic, and Nordic bloodlines have to offer. Instead, the characters are brown, red, and rusty, among other shades. The land and settings seem Oriental (the old version of the word), Persian, and “middle Eastern.”
The art by Sloane Leong looks like a melding of the work of Carla Speed-McNeil in Finder and Jeff Smith in Bone. The graphic design, however, suggests tapestry and pottery. The coloring is earthy, except when depicting magic; then, it is wild and trippy. I have to admit that I find Leong's art beautiful and alluring.
From Under Mountains fascinates me. I cannot stop flipping through its pages. I can't wait for the second issue.
