Our third Eyeskream review is Hellbound. It is an adventure/humor strip in color that follows a demon and an unemployed guy who’s helping her. Written by Eric Nault this is a fun read and has fairly good artwork.

The art is very reminiscent of 80’s comics but takes bits and pieces from different pop culture to help flesh out a growing style.

The overall style of the strip is reminiscent of the golden age of comics. Continue reading →
