Review:

Silver is so bold, big, and juicy! I absolutely love this book! --BILL SIENKIEWICZ (Stray Toasters, Elektra: Assassin)

With SILVER, Stephan Franck cuts right to the bone of the story and masterfully drives his narrative home. A breath of fresh air in the world of comics! --TOMMY LEE EDWARDS (American Alien, Marvel 1985, The Question, Turf)

(Silver issue 5: Rama Rating: 10 out of 10): Professional grifter James Finnegan and his partner, Rosalyn Sledge the granddaughter of Abraham van Helsing advance their long con of stealing a massive hoard of silver from under Dracula s castle while an orgiastic Dracunalia rages overhead. Although writer and artist Stephan Franck continues to masterfully craft his central characters particularly in this issue with the bonding between Finnegan and the likable pre-cog boy, Tao what makes this issue shine is the world building Mr. Franck performs in exposing the secretive and decadent vampire aristocracy far out of reach from the laws of men and the eyes of God. The artwork is stunning in black and white, and this series continues to be not just a great pulpy adventure story, but excellence in comic book storytelling. --Newsarama
