![]() Rating: - Boring EvilThis should really have been called Essential Son of Satan & Satana as those two characters take up the entirety of the book. The Son of Satan stories take up the most of the book, dealing with the half-human son of "Satan", Damian Hellstrom, as he fights his father. Though an interesting premise, how would he use his satanic powers for good and how will he avoid becoming evil as his heritage would indicate he should be really gets repetitive. The beginning stories are interesting, ... Read More Rating: - Son of Satan/Son of AdamYes, it was common for DC, Marvel, and some of the smaller houses to not do their best work on their "horror" titles. There was often a revolving door of second-rate hack writers and artists working on them. Well, this was definately not the case with these stories. Every story here is well drawn and well plotted. There is a remarkable consistency considering how many people worked on all these issues at Marvel. I am not exagerating when I say that this volume was (surprisingly) the best Essentials ...

Collecting issues from a variety of different series', Essential Marvel Horror mainly revolves around Daimon Hellstrom, who despite his demonic heritage (he is the son of Satan after all), fights evil at every turn. Also taking focus in this collection is Daimon's succubus sister Satana, and Ghost Rider pops up as well. Reading this collection can help ...

Quality 70's drawing and story development throughout, increasingly cool and thoughtful as it moves along through the issues ... Daimon Hellstrom becomes quite a character ... a thoroughly enjoyable WILD read. I had been looking forward to its release since the Ghost Rider collection last year and I was NOT disappointed. It gets far out and sinister, just like you'd want it to. Rating: - Hit and miss (with more misses)It would be wonderful to say that everything Marvel is putting out under its Essentials line is truly essential, reissues of classic works, particularly from the 1960s and 1970s. Wonderful, but not true. While some Essential books are truly great (for example, the Spiderman or Fantastic Four books), others definitely show that Marvel put out its share of clunkers as well. Sadly, the Essential Marvel Horror, Volume 1 - while it does have its share of decent stuff - is overall, one of the clunkers. Read More Browse for similar items by category:
