#IReadsYou Review: NOCTERRA #4
NOCTERRA #4
IMAGE COMICS/Best Jacket Press
STORY: Scott Snyder
ART: Tony S. Daniel
COLORS: Tomeu Morey
LETTERS: Andworld Design
EDITOR: Will Dennis
COVER: Tony S. Daniel with Tomeu Morey
VARIANT COVER ARTISTS: Jenny Frison; Tony S. Daniel with Tomeu Morey
28pp, Colors, 3.99 U.S. (June 2021)
Rated “M/ Mature”
“Full Throttle Dark” Part Four
Nocterra is a horror and science fiction comic book series from writer Scott Snyder and artist Tony S. Daniel. Published by Image Comics, Nocterra is set on an Earth that has been experiencing an everlasting night, the “Big PM,” since the sky went dark and the world was plunged into an everlasting night over a decade ago. Colorist Tomeu Morey and letterer Andworld Design complete the series' creative team.
In Nocterra, any living organisms left unlit in the dark for more than 10 hours start undergoing a biological transformation. Soon, the living turn into monstrous versions of themselves, becoming something called a “Shade.”
Valentina “Val” Riggs – call sign “Sundog,” – was in the fifth grade the day the “Big PM” occurred. Thirteen years later (“13 PM”), Val drives a big rig hauler, a heavily-illuminated 18-wheeler known as the “Sundog Convoy.” A skilled “ferryman” Val transports people and goods along deadly unlit roads between the few remaining human outposts, and now she has her most dangerous haul – a girl with a dangerous secret and her brother, Emory “Em” Riggs, who is becoming a Shade.
Nocterra #4 opens in Val's memories of “Day Three” of the Big PM. She and Em are trapped in the basement, as their parents are transforming into Shades. They are knocking at the door of the basement, determined to enter and kill their children. Val and Em have each come up with a plan, but they always follow Val's plans. Em wants that to change. So what now?
Back in the present, exposed to the dark for so long, Em is changing. Val need a “solar lamp” to slow down the change, and she knows where one is located. It's in the outpost town of Tipton; make that “brought down” outpost town. Even if Val gets lucky, there still is the problem of getting Bailey to Sanctuary, which might not be there.
THE LOWDOWN: As I have written in some of my earlier reviews of Nocterra, I enjoy writer Scott Snyder's creator-owned series. I have also told you, dear readers, that I am usually happy to read a comic book drawn by Tony S. Daniel, going back to his early days writing and drawing creator-owned titles at Image, such as The Tenth.
Well, I am having a blast reading Nocterra, which reads like an old-fashioned pulp serial with its haunting settings, crazy monsters, bad-ass villains, questionable supporting characters, and one against-all-odds female hero. Nocterra #4 even has a theme: what to do when there only two choices, and both of them are risky, but one means destruction.
Snyder and Daniel are delivering in Nocterra the kind of work that has made them superstar comic book creators. If you are fans of either, there is no reason that you should not be reading Nocterra.
If you are a fan of colorist Tomeu Morey, then, you want to see how beautifully he colors the dark world of Nocterra. And I always enjoy reading the lettering of Andworld Design. Thus, it is easy for me to give this series the highest recommendation, especially when Nocterra #4 delivers a powerful chapter that is built on a riveting backstory in order to deliver a heart-stopping last act.
I READS YOU RECOMMENDS: Fans of Scott Snyder and Tony S. Daniel will want to sample Nocterra.

#IReadsYou: Review: THE SILVER COIN #4
THE SILVER COIN #4 (OF 5)
IMAGE COMICS
STORY: Jeff Lemire
ART: Michael Walsh
COLORS: Michael Walsh and Toni Marie Griffin
LETTERS: Michael Walsh
EDITOR: Chris Hampton
COVER: Michael Walsh
VARIANT COVER ARTIST: Christian Ward
28pp, Colors, 3.99 U.S. (July 2021)
Rated “M/ Mature”
The Silver Coin is created by Michael Walsh, Ed Brisson, Jeff Lemire, Kelly Thompson, and Chip Zdarsky
“2467”
The Silver Coin is a horror comic book anthology and miniseries published by Image Comics. It is the creation of artist Michael Walsh and writers Ed Brisson, Jeff Lemire, Kelly Thompson, and Chip Zdarsky. Each issue of this five-issue miniseries tells a tale of terror that is set in a supernatural world in which the mysterious “Silver Coin” changes the lives of those who take possession of it. The fourth issue is written by Jeff Lemire; drawn and lettered by Michael Walsh; and colored by Walsh and Toni Marie Griffin.
The Silver Coin #4 (entitled “2467”) opens in the year 2467. The new metropolis of this new world has buried the old world beneath its junk and refuse. A trio of scavengers are on the run from Officer Colten Dudley and his remote controlled drone (called a “bird”). But one of these scavengers is going to discover an ancient treasure. The price it carries is unimaginable, and everyone may end up paying that price.
THE LOWDOWN: As I wrote in my reviews of the first three issues of The Silver Coin, I am a big fan of horror comic book anthologies. That includes everything from the classic EC Comics titles to later titles like DC Comics' Ghosts and House of Mystery, Kitchen Sink Press's Death Rattle, and Approbation Comics' Amour, to name a few.
“2467,” the offering in The Silver Coin #4, surpasses the stories offered in issues #2 and #3. Jeff Lemire, who has written some outstanding science fiction comics, including Sweet Tooth, offers a tale that shows that the past isn't always history – a thing long gone – even if we have forgotten that past.
Once again, Michael Walsh's art and graphical storytelling are what really delivers the unsettling moments in this tale. The “worms” which the citizens of this world use to connect to each other as if each person were a device, are both nasty and chilling. I think the world of “2467” is worth some expansion. Dear readers, let's come back for the finale and see what's in store.
I READS YOU RECOMMENDS: Fans of classic horror comic book anthologies will want to spend The Silver Coin.
