Review
Love how this story is set out, it is split into three different tales almost. One takes place in 1873, one takes place in 1973, while the last takes place in 2011. The different time lines have different generations of families in them. The best one I thought was the 1973 one in which a young man and a Police Officer contemplate going into the tunnels under Sheffield in search of the demonic prankster. Has quite a cool horror vibe to it. Another good comic, hypnotic, and entertaining and worth a look at.

REVIEWS
"It’s rare that a comic completely catches me off guard. With this series though, I was caught off guard completely when I read it, so much so that I leaned back in my chair and was like, “Damn… you got me.” around half way through the second issue when the bomb is dropped on you... I was blown away." Comic $astards, US Reviewer gave it 5 out of 5
"Daley’s unique, dry wit is the highlight of his writing. He may write great stories, but when it comes to the closing pages, there’s no one else to compare. CD Comics output has been nothing but a treat to read, with Meadowhell being no exception. Another cult gem." Horror Cult Films UK Reviewer
"So much work goes into giving a realistic bend to his comics that it really sets them apart from others which just do not have the same level of crazy detail... I was really drawn into this world, desperate to find out just what was going on." Rotting Zombie UK Reviewer gave it 8 out of 10

Have a fun read and please do have nightmares.

$1.99/£1.30 Horror Comic Reviewed

CDComics fourth macabre horror whodunit title set in Sheffield gets reviewed by Bat at Horror Cult Films


Review Extract: "The first chapter of a three part story, PUNCHLINE... manages to inject a bit of humour, in what is an actual brutal comic. The black and white style of the comic is used to great effect and keeps it from being too gory to read visually, though the written words do enough to turn your stomach as Punchline (The Surreal Detective) thinks nothing of blurting out the brutal details of the murder, seemingly unaffected by what he’s witnessed.

The Butcher of Banner Cross: Punchline is a fantastic start to a supernatural murder mystery series... a must-read for horror fans."

Nerdly review Football Crazy and Meadowhell

'Jack Kirby' from Nerdly gave a couple of CDComic title a read and below are extracts from those reviews, like all CDComics they are available from multiple download websites.


"Here’s something fairly novel: a comic murder-mystery for you to try and solve yourself. Set in 1990 shortly before the opening of the Meadowhall shopping centre in Sheffield. A grisly and possibly occult triple homicide has taken place in the building and it’s up to DCI Bramley and his lovely secretary Belle to wrap the case up before word gets out.
The plot is surprisingly engaging – it may be a bit of a stretch, but it kind of evoked David Peace’s Red Riding books (Yorkshire setting, gothic murders, police investigations, etc) which I consider to be a very good thing.
In short, it was a lot of fun, pretty engaging and struck a good balance between satire, horror and intrigue."

http://www.nerdly.co.uk/2013/05/15/comics-round-up-dmc-chronicles-of-vergil-1-solid-state-tank-girl-1-meadowhell-pts-1-and-2/


"Like Meadowhell, it’s an offbeat murder mysterious, illustrated fairly simply with some sly humour thrown in. We follow the heroic FA Cup exploits of Sheffield United. Unfortunately, after each game, the man of the match ends up being totally murder-ised. Can the rozzers identify the serial killer before the killing spree totally derails the cup run?
The streak of oddball humour that runs through Football Crazy like a cultured European creative midfielder on a lately greased pitch serves the book very well. It’s absurd but there’s a curious logic to proceedings – not that you’re likely to identify the killer and his motive prior to the final reveal, but you’ll have fun guessing. The slew of cheeky references and playful lampooning of the ridiculous world of football are also very enjoyable."
