Publishers Weekly Loves ‘Pinocchio, Vampire Slayer’

Jump to Comments

Pinocchio, Vampire Slayer -- on sale Oct. 28

The new Publishers Weekly Comics Week has a review of the upcoming graphic novel by myself and Dustin Higgins, Pinocchio, Vampire Slayer. The reviewer really enjoyed the book:

This enjoyable reworking of Carlo Collodi’s classic tale drops the magically animated puppet into a horror movie plot. … Jensen’s script is clever, full of irreverent irony. But the highlight of the book is Higgins’s b&w art that offers page after page of amazement. Swirling, whirling, jittery, skittery, the story dances gracefully from grin to grimace and back again.

Full disclosure: I previously wrote for PWCW. That said, I don’t know any of the reviews staff and have no idea who reviewed the book.

Oh, and check out PW’s The Beat, where Heidi posts a couple photos of yours truly from Baltimore Comic-Con.

In other news, just got confirmation that Diamond is getting PVS to shops in time for an Oct. 28 release.
