Randy Queen returns with the first installment of the limited Dreams of the Darkchylde series. I have to wonder, having just read this book, whether it was first intended to be the #0 issue. It's only 15 pages in length and, for someone who has never read the comic, doesn't serve as much of a teaser. Far be it from me to question the wisdom of the creator, but I don't know if this was the best way to herald your return to comics.

For the Darkchylde fan, however, this book was long overdue and goes some way toward quenching that ever present thirst for more Queen. The storytelling is crisp and electric with the customary dark undertones and foreboding narrative. It gives a glimpse at Ariel's past where she loses her best friend Kiley to the stories antagonist; the forest. More than memorable as it stands, but I can't help but wonder whether it might have been better told in the 22 page format.

Brandon Peterson's pencils were beautiful as ever and complimented nicely by Richard Bennet's inks and Jimmy Yu's colors. I felt that Brandon lost some of the gleam towards the last 4 pages, but it didn't really distract from the overall quality of the presentation.

"I love it!  Some of the pencils were poor near the end but overall I'm very impressed.  If Darkchylde Entertainment can maintain this quality and combine it with timeliness, they'll do very very well."
