I liked the premise of this comic: Paul Revere (famed silver smith of the American Revolution immortalized in Longfellow's poem) is not only a patriot to the colonies but a werewolf hunter. Although the secret of werewolves (and other scary creatures) is hidden, in the aftermath of Lexington and Concord, Revere feels he needs to let his fellow patriots in the Sons of Liberty know about their existence. (Better that they know what they are fighting fully in the coming months and years.) Much l

Having never seen the original 4-issue miniseries, I am glad Archaia Studios put out this deluxe collection because Revere: Revolution in Silver is a tale that demands to be read by all. The simple premise -- Paul Revere fights off Werewolves during the early days of the American Revolution -- grabs you by the throat; it's amazing more tales like this, combining the early history of our nation and the supernatural, have not been done (and those that want more like this, should immediately go and

Mash-ups are all the rage; whether it be Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter, or any number of lesser-known works, putting two seemingly unlikely things together has become a literary obsession recently. Revere: Revolution in Silver carries on this growing tradition, positing that, in his spare time, Paul Revere was actually a werewolf hunter and member of an occult organization dedicated to defending the world against supernatural threats.

This graphic novel was a really fun "What would happen if we took history and inserted vampires/zombies/werewolves?" in the recent vein of horror/history mash-ups. Paul Revere's profession as a silversmith takes on a whole new level of meaning as a werewolf-slaying hero. The graphics are nice, although the plot, for all of its fun, is a little sub-par, trading in gore for story. Nonetheless, it was short, fun, and definitely a worthwhile quick read.

The art is good, but the story pacing is hurried, and the hero is the stereo-typical brutalizing Punisher/Van Helsing archetype. Its a good start, a base to build on, but Revere needs a healthy dose of humanity to really sale this series. Gritty is fine, good horror writing is gritty, but to get the impact of the brutality, you need to feel for the victims or protagonists, or you just have monsters and gore.

This volume takes history and inserts horror in the form of werewolves, zombies and vampires. Skilfully weaving both historical and horror together, the story was atmospheric and the slightly altered poetry used well. It may not stand up on its own as a single volume with the larger story unfinished, but I have some interest for the subsequent volumes, especially to see how the horror interacts with known history.

All right- a bit too heavy on the fantastic vs. historical. It's one thing to introduce mystical elements to history in a fictional setting. It's completely another to be sloppy in your history in the process. It weakens the fictional elements. I like the idea; not so much the execution.

Ever wonder why Paul Revere was a silversmith? Well, to have a legit front for the whole werewolf (and other silver-fearing monster) hunting he does 'round Boston! The visuals are bathed in greys and many characters appear having a sickly green pallor, as if the scourge of darkness inhabiting the colonies isn't limited to the werewolves (or the British soldiers for that matter).
