The Story for SUPERNATURAL #5

We kick off right where we left off in a library full of books and ghosts. A familiar face shows up, and the possessed car once again takes on a mind of its own. As the boys suddenly find themselves in a ghost town, it’s time to face the judge, jury, and executioner. In the only one they know how… as brothers.

The Art

Supernatural was on air for 15 glorious seasons. During that time, they covered a lot of monsters. From creepy to comical, and everything in between. However, no matter how creative they got, or how much CGI and budget changed over the years, there are things only comic book art can do. Supernatural #5 absolutely took advantage of the beautiful fact that comic book art can set a tone and feeling like no other.

From giant jackalopes, to a courtroom full of monsters, to a gorgeous BLAM scene. The art was incredibly enjoyable to take in. I truly loved every page, right up to the beautiful and unexpected last page.

Final Thoughts

It’s no secret to anyone who knows me that Supernatural is my favorite show. I didn’t drink the Kool-Aid until October 2016, but it was so good, I just can’t get enough. This comic book run has been a fun little side step into the lives of the Winchester brothers, early on. Supernatural #5 wrapped up a bit of the overarching story and left us with one line that got me amped for issue 6.

Overall Grade: 8/10

To any other idjits out there who need more of the Winchesters, definitely grab these comics. There’s so much story to uncover on the road so far.
