'Fear Itself' #1: An Advance, Spoiler-Free Review and Preview – ComicsAlliance | Comic book culture, news, humor, commentary, and reviews

On one hand, you've got the elements of an old-school Marvel event or summer crossover: an extinction-level threat, the relationship between god and man, a sense of impending dread. This part of the book is great fun, with a big, whiz-bang, continuity-twisting, mythological engine made of dope fights and "oh SNAP!" moments that are exactly what I want out of this kind of comic.

INTERVIEW: Tyler Crook Takes The Pencils For Mignola's 'B.P.R.D'

There was something like 3 weeks from the time they first asked me to take over until I started drawing pages. I think they picked me because they thought my style already fit with the world so I haven't really had to search for a new style or anything like that. The fun part was getting up to speed with the story. I've been a fan of B.P.R.D. for years but there was a lot of the material that I had missed and never read. So I had to sit down and read all the trades back to back.
