Black-Eyed Kids #1
Black-Eyed Kids, Volume 1: The Children
When the lull of night falls over a sleeping midwestern town, an ancient, unimaginable horror creeps violently and purposely through the night. That's when the children come out to play. Children with eyes of solid back, devoid of emotion and remorse, and only asking for one thing... to come inside. But there are some who will not go quietly in the night. Some who will fight back to save not only their own souls, but those of their children, as well. This is their story.
Collecting the blood-chilling first five issues of the hit AfterShock series BLACK-EYED KIDS, from author Joe Pruett (X-Men Unlimited, Cable) and artist Szymon Kudranski (Spawn, Daredevil/Punisher).

I wasn't familiar with the urban legend of the black-eyed kids, but from what I can gather from this glacially paced story is that they are kind of like vampires, but not vampires. They have to be invited into your house and they've been hiding among us for many years. And I guess you have to kill your family to become one of them. The story has potential but we don't get enough information during this arc. I have very little idea what's going on. The art doesn't help. While it definitely sets a creepy atmosphere, it was so dark I couldn't tell what was going on in half of it. I feel like the darkness is a crutch Kudranski always relies on. By making the art so dark, he doesn't have to provide the same amount of detail as other artists, especially when it comes to backgrounds.

I actually met Joe Pruett at the Daytona Comic Con. Super nice dude, I bought bunch of Aftershock graphic novels from him, so expect more reviews coming soon. So what did I think of HIS Comic?
This is basically children of the corn but a little bit more sci-fi. These kids begin to turn on the town they live in one by one. It's almost like a cult is forming, except instead of it feeling like a religious brand converting everyone's eyes turn pure black and start killing people. It's a slow, and creepy, build to something larger that isn't quite made clear just yet.
Good: I liked most of the art. Everything flowed well enough and easy to understand. I also liked how fast paced it become at points, and that nobody feel felt safe. I also enjoyed the mystery behind it all and eager to know what comes next.
Bad: I felt some of the dialog wasn't hitting the marks it wanted. I didn't get a sense of a main character or someone to root for (yet) and I thought the art worked for most part but was often too dark to understand at points.
Overall this is a mix bag. I didn't love it, but didn't dislike it, so it goes around a 2.5 for me. I'll bump it up to a 3 just because I enjoyed the setting and idea behind it and hoping volume 2 expands that.

This was a decent first volume. The art was dark and creepy and definitely helped enhance the mood, although sometimes it was a bit difficult to follow what was going on and there could have been a bit more distinction with some of the character designs. The plot was okay but so far it seems to be your fairly standard body snatcher esque horror story but my interest is piqued so I'll have to see if it picks up any in the second volume.

Meh. I thought this had a lot of potential to be awesome, especially as someone who has been following the "black-eyed kids" urban legends a loooong time. It's not something I really ever see depicted in media, so I was pretty excited to learn this graphic novel series existed, but sadly, it was really boring and the art was so dark that I could barely make out any details at all. I won't be continuing the series. The only reason I'm giving it 2 stars is because I was intrigued by the subplot idea of these black-eyed kids having been around on the planet for a long time and having slowly plotted this world takeover sort of ordeal.

An interesting horror story where a group of kids begin exhibiting strange behaviour, most notably violence and the tendency to have entirely black eyes.
This is just the introduction, so it's hard to say where the story is headed.
Art is good, but I found myself only vaguely interested.

I've always thought that the urban legend of the black eyed kids was interesting and creepy. The creep factor pulls through in these comics. Witham dark and muted palette, it really adds to the atmosphere. I'm interested to see how the characters develop and where the story goes.

It was a decent setup, but it felt really slow; by the end of it, I felt like the story had just gotten around to starting. Mysterious stranger shows up to help (some of) the family escape from the BEKs, writer with repressed childhood memories has been kidnapped and is pointedly not being killed by the BEKs. (Like so pointedly. Seriously.) A couple of pets are murdered. A cop can't believe what's happening. Somewhere, the BEKs are taking over a juvenile detention facility.
(All this is in 120 pages. I feel I would like more story in 120 pages.)
I also found the art really dark, to the point where I had trouble distinguishing between some of the characters. The fact that the cover was coming off the book didn't help; I was trying to hold it very gently and not strain the spine too much. (It didn't help. The cover fell off completely by the time I was done reading it. Aftershock, I am not impressed.)
It seemed like an interesting premise, but overall it felt like it was a little too heavy-handed and slow, and the whole "there is a vast overarching conspiracy which the bad people will threaten to explain to you" approach isn't a plus for me.
(P.S.: I am still not sure why I am supposed to believe the lady with long flowing hair who was introduced with a cleavage shot and what looked like a flipping tiara was a nurse.)

The artwork is highly detailed, but dedicates large areas to pitch darkness that suits the mysterious story. There is hardly anything revealed at this point, only that the kids have a goal and the strength to carry it out. A few characters oppose them, but so far can do little but run away. Overall, the setting is urban fantasy horror, so I don't have high hopes for a definitive ending. Still, the ride is entertaining, with plenty of mystery, violence and also hope and determination.
The reader is thrown into the deep end from the first page. The kids with black eyes are shown to be cold-blooded killers and they are recruiting. The newly-added Michael first stabs his whole family before being accepted into the kids' cult-like organization. Another kid kills two people in a local store and gives himself up to the police. There are more and more of them with each passing moment. Their goal is to end humanity altogether.

Several years ago, my friend Sam and I were walking around on a crisp winter night. We were in a very rural residential neighborhood. We were approached by a white van filled with pale giggling children with dark eyes. Even the driver looked no older than twelve. They kept asking us where they could find Christmas lights. “Why, they’re all around us,” we replied. “Get in the van and show us,” they said. But these children were hella creepy, and there was no way we’d even consider getting in that van. They got annoyed and drove away down a one-way street and vanished into the night. We never saw them come out.
It was only later that we learned about the legend of the Black-Eyed Children, who are rumored to show up at people’s homes asking to be let in.
So, when my local comic book store had a trade paperback of the Black-Eyed Kids comics, I knew I had to read it. Normally, when I buy a book, I wait a while before I read it. But I devoured Black-Eyed Kids Vol. 1 the moment I got home. It presents an eerie take on the Black-Eyed Children legend, and I loved it. It’s about a little kid named Michael, and he’s turning. And apparently the process of turning from a normal child into a black-eyed kid involves killing your entire family. Meanwhile, a woman named Meredith has been abducted by the black-eyed kids, who want her to chronicle the demise of humanity.
The art in Black-Eyed Kids adds to the creepiness factor. Most of the panels are drawn in blue-tinged nighttime colors, which are dramatically interspersed with short bursts of red for impact. It has the feeling of a nighttime storm. It set the mood so well.
The ending did feel somewhat abrupt–most of the trades I read feel like more of a complete piece of the story arc. But I suppose that just means that I’ll have to buy the next volume when it’s released in April.
If you’re into creepy and atmospheric horror, then Black-Eyed Kids is a solid choice that explores an urban legend that isn’t already overdone in mainstream media.

I really DID like this, though not my genre. The craft is engrossing, meaning great storytelling. Problem I have with horror fiction is characters run together. But doesn't stop me from wondering: what comes next? There are two more volumes. IF I can find them...
Aftershock Comics had a pretty uniform high level of craft in their substantial publishing efforts. Pruett, in addition to editing and coordinating, writes really well. The dialogue is pretty snappy. The black-eyed kids are obnoxious. Artist Kudranski and color art and letters are tops.
I'm open to revising my evaluation higher because I will reread.

No Remorse
This volume collects the first five issues of B.E.K.. The mood is great; the drawing, coloring and lettering all enhance the darkness and sense of imminent doom that permeates the tale. But, bear in mind that these are slow moving, dark, threatening black eyed kids who often seem to be on autopilot.
There is a fair amount of backstory, and loads more hinted at. The feel is that of an alien invasion sort of thing, with a "black oil" kind of vibe. The B.E.K.'s are gathering up other kids, threatening the adults left behind, and clearly engaged in a larger dark plot. On the one hand this is supposed to be an interpretation of the "urban myth" of black eyed kids, (which doesn't really resonate with me), and on the other it's a Children of the Corn kind of conspiracy, (which I'm O.K. with). Maybe the best part, apart from all of the lurking and mayhem in the shadows, is that the B.E.K.', seem to have a little/young B.E.K. leader who is a major league monologuer. He kidnaps some sci-fi writer to chronicle the B.E.K. takeover, and his monologues are both informative and exceptionally creepy in an elegant and finely crafted fashion.
So, instead of stabbing and gunplay and running around, you get a lot of slow-motion violence, creepy skulking, and hyper-creepy top-bad-guy declaiming. That turns out to be a fair amount of fun. Between the excellent art, (because a book composed entirely of nighttime scenes is tough to pull off as well as it's done here), and the literate dialogue, this had a dreamy, remorseless and dread filled impact that was a nice change of pace. An ambitious and interesting find.

Apart from that I have no connection at all to either the author or the publisher of this book.)

Fall is right around the corner which means Halloween isn't too far after. If you're like me, you're looking for some spooky books to read and Black-Eyed Kids definitely delivers.
For those who are not familiar, black-eyed kids or black-eyed children are a popular urban legend where supposed paranormal entities appear as children between the ages of 6 and 16. They have pale skin and completely black eyes and are usually seen late at night hitchhiking, panhandling or on your own doorstep, claiming to be lost and asking to come in.
In this story, the Black Eyed Kids have made their way to a small mid-western town where they wreck havoc on the locals, and even convert one of the families' own kids.

I'm not sure if I just got a bad copy from edelweiss or what but I had no words in my edition, only pictures. The graphics were really good and it had classic horror movie vibes going on. But since I had no words, that means I had no story line, and that means I don't know what the hell was going on. Maybe my library will have it so I can give it a proper review but until I find out I have no choice but to give it 1 star. It's safe to say I am disappointed.

Really pulled me in, immediately. The creepy urban legend of The Black Eyed Kids. No one knows how it started, what they are or anything. Loving the art style, the dark settings and colors being dark, at night and in the snow. The bloody scenes sure make a contrast because of the use of color in this comic.
Keen to read Vol 2. I also just found out there's a volume 3 so I'll definitely be hunting that down.

A gruelling horror story for the not so feinted of heart. Atmospheric and stylish at the same time. I adore the drawing, the composition and the dark colours. I would give it a five-star review if the characters were a bit more fleshed out. I saw two grammatical errors in the lettering... Aaargh !!! Maybe better in the next volume?

It's slow, it's too dark, it's visually indistinct (all the adult dudes with mustaches look the same). Is it creepy? Maybe, but mostly because the kids don't offer anything in the way of narrative or explanation. They're just lurky murdery eternal children of the corn. So am I gonna read volume 2? Sure. This is what libraries are for.
February 2, 2026
I’m really not sure what I expected going into this, but I still managed to come out feeling a little disappointed. It’s essentially five issues of unkillable murderhobos slaughtering everyone that comes close, with no exposition whatsoever. The artwork was nice though, if a little confusing at points.
April 18, 2020
This had a great spooky feel to it. I just didn’t enjoy the swearing. I also didn’t feel like the characters got enough development. The motivation for the main villain was also very murky. It had potential.

Review is for the entire series.
Don't bother starting it, because it doesn't end.
15 issues/three volumes of interminable set-up without a single payoff.
Then it closes with "End of Season One" - a big old lie.

Really enjoyed this series of books, a bit reminiscent of “The Midwich Cuckoos” in places, but still different enough to be original.
The art fitted the dark and nightmarish story excellently.
“5stars” you say?
Yes, because I liked it…

The start of a seemingly adequate horror story. There are some hints towards a deeper back story, so I wouldn't be surprised to see this dragged out for a while.

"No matter who tells it, the encounters always occur the same way: someone home alone in the middle of the night hears a knock on the door. When they peek through the window, children, normally in a pair, are seen standing in the cold. As the resident cautiously cracks open the door to see what might be wrong, a familiar feeling of dread washes over them. The strange children beg to be let inside, but something isn’t right ... there’s something “off” about these kids. As the lonely resident looks closer, they see that these children’s eyes are black as an oil slick, an unnerving detail that causes them to slam the door and deny their pleas for entrance. Some of them call the police, others clutch a weapon, but never, ever, do they let the Black Eyed Children inside." – Greg Newkirk, weekinweird.com
I’ve been generally impressed with the Aftershock comic imprint -- Animosity, Insexts, and Rough Riders being favorites – and so as I came into the Thanksgiving holiday, Pruett and Kudranski’s Black Eyed Kids looked like a nice diversion. The B.E.K. – which inhabit the same paranormal space as the men-in-black, Bigfoot, and the shadow people – are harbingers of doom. Let them in … and bad things happen.
Unfortunately, for Pruett’s characters, they seem to have missed that memo.
Kudranski’s moody, atmospheric art is perfect for this kind of book and Guy Major’s coloring is nothing short of amazing. Rich blues, blacks, and greys convey a cold and sinister setting, punctuated by these wonderfully red chapter dividers (the covers of the single issue floppies) by Francavilla. The story line is unnerving as the B.E.K. begin a murderous invasion of a small town, riffing -- surprisingly enough -- much more along the lines of Invasion of Body Snatchers than say You’re Next or Let the Right One In. This is clearly 'volume one' of a longer series as Pruett and Kudranski don't tie up much in their initial arc and the pessimist in me thinks that they certainly have a bit of a tightrope to walk as the story progresses. It’s very tempting to see this as just another ‘alien takeover’ tale by another name – ground that’s been tread and retread before.
(By comparison, one of the team's more innovative moves was the introduction of author Meredith Williams, who is promptly kidnapped by the bad guys to chronicle their ascendancy. It’s nice to have bad guys with some sense of posterity.)
There are a few niggling criticisms. While the art was generally wonderful, telling the characters apart was sometimes difficult – a problem many comics have once you get past super-heroes standing around in their gaudily-garbed union suits. The timeline of the first chapter also felt a bit disjointed; it was hard to tell whether the events were all happening on the same night, different nights, flashbacks to the past – it was a bit confusing. Most of these issues get ironed out as the story progresses, but my biggest 'swing-and-a-miss' is the 'introduction' the book’s editors chose for the volume. I may be an ignoramus, but the folklore of the Black Eyed Children isn't exactly as common stance as that of bigfoot, the yeti, or even the chupacabra. And though I'm sure he's a great guy, Aaron Douglas’s introduction certainly didn’t add much to the overall package whereas a nice text piece on the book’s titular subject could have certainly been a beneficial backgrounder to the untutored in B.E.K. lore ... to say nothing of ratcheting-up the creep-factor.
Rant aside, Pruett and Kudranski did their jobs. I'm certainly interested in where this story is going and will picking up volume two of this tale.
P.S. For the fundamentals of Black Eyed Children sightings, I recommend Greg Newkirk's (cited above) short article on weekinweird.com titled, “Witness Report: I Let the Black Eyed Children Into My Home, and Now I’m Slowly Dying” at http://weekinweird.com/2016/01/28/wit.... It tells you pretty much all you need to know about these misanthropic little monsters and is a nice prologue to Pruett and Kudranski’s graphic novel. Also ... it will probably keep you from opening your front door in the wee hours of the night to strange little children.

Black Eyed Kids, or Black Eyed Children as they are referred to online, are a modern day boogeyman of sorts. For the past 20 years they have popped up all over the Internet. This comic book series takes the myth and spins into something else. Are the BEKs an ancient evil older than man? An invading alien species? Beings from another dimension which possess the bodies of children? We shall see...
Modern day comics (meaning anything made in this century) are cinematic in layout and delivery. Old comics were something in between a novel and movie, but modern comics rely on “camera angles” and “edits” for impact. For my money this style worked for this material. Horror comics benefit from less explanations, as a fear of the unknown and a lack of understanding have a tendency to add some kick to the proceedings.
The writing and artwork are top notch. While I felt that the black and white version of #1 was moodier and somewhat more effective, this was very enjoyable in color as well. Black and white is a tougher sell for a mainstream comic book audience, and a series as slick as this stands a fair chance of reaching a wider audience than the standard Horror comic crowd.
I liked this so much that I read it twice before reviewing it. I never read anything twice anymore.

Not bad.

October 16, 2017Horror story based on an urban myth I don't really know, about sinister killers who look like your nearest and dearest, exhibit astonishing strength and resilience, have to be invited in, and view humans as cattle. I mean, that's just vampires, isn't it? No idea why this is being hailed as some kind of landmark horror book, though I suppose it's efficiently nasty in places.
