In this issue: King&#8217;s latest case goes from freaky to fatal when he&#8217;s hired to find the lost son of a deceased horror host! The mystery begins in this new supernatural horror series!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Bernie Gonzalez&#8217;s Midnight Mystery is the Alterna series I was most looking forward to and it lived up to all of my expectations.&nbsp; Gonzalez created a fun issue that quickly introduces us to Zeke King&#8217;s world and things to come.&nbsp; I grew up watching Sammy Terry introduce late night monster movies and love that Count Karloff (a&nbsp;perfect name for a horror host) is used in the first Zeke King arc.&nbsp; The issue ends with a cliffhanger and left me wanting more.&nbsp; What better praise for a comic?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Gonzalez&#8217;s writing, like his art, is clear and supports the story in a lean, efficient way.&nbsp; Many folks compare Gonzalez&#8217;s art to Darwyne Cooke and I don&#8217;t disagree but I also see the influence of Alex Toth and Paul Grist.<\/p>\n<p>Bring on issue 2!<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<br \/>\n<\/strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/stallonezone.com\/zone\/logo\/zview_b.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"100\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Midnight Mystery #1&nbsp;is part of a four-issue mini-series published by&nbsp;Alterna Comics.
