It’s Season 1, Sam and Dean, and they have found themselves in a case that seems never-ending. Every time they think they’ve figured it all out, another wrench is thrown into their theory. However, as more unravels, the more they start to piece it all together.

The Story for SUPERNATURAL #7
Once again, we get a flashback that then drops us into a ‘NOW.’ This flashback, however, sheds some light on the mystery woman, Steff, that they’ve been dealing with. The haunted car continues to stalk and confuse Steff and the boys. Unable to figure out what’s happening, they let the car take them on another joy ride. A ride that ends in more questions, and eventually leads them to face a type of “monster” they’ve never seen before.

The Art
Season 1 of Supernatural was dark. Quite literally. The art in this comic, however, did a beautiful job of maintaining that feel of darkness in the early days, while embracing some beautiful colors in certain moments. These may be characters we’re familiar with, but it’s still a story in a completely different medium, and I’ve loved the art throughout.
Comic books don’t need to worry about budget regarding storytelling. They can blow things up, destroy property, create insane monsters, and the budget doesn’t suddenly go off the charts. That being said, we got some beautiful action moments in issue 7. All while still nailing the emotional expressions of all our characters. We saw smug Dean, horny Dean, angry Dean, and everyone’s favorite: worried about Sammy Dean. The art in this issue was badass, beautiful, and a hell of a lot of fun.

Final Thoughts
Over 15 years of the show, we saw Sam and Dean grow up and mature (in some ways). This, however, is season 1 and issue 7 absolutely nailed the early on Sam and Dean. I could hear their voices and immediately thought of early episodes like Hell House or Tall Tales. It’s always fun to see them lean into the fact that they are brothers first. There’s no love like sibling torture.
In addition to capturing the Winchesters so beautifully, we’re also seeing the overarching story come together. With 2 issues left, I’m very excited to see how this all wraps up, and where in the show it drops us off.
Overall Grade: 9/10
If you still suffer from the ending of Supernatural, and find yourself rewatching again and again (while skipping the finale), I highly recommend this comic run. It takes you back to the beginning with something new, while making you feel like the boys never left.
