Baltimore, Vol. 1: The Plague Ships

The first volume of Mike Mignola and Christopher Golden's Baltimore has just about everything I could ask for in a solid Gothic romp. Really moody Seaside setting, Weird War stories, a uniquely Mignola take on Vampires, Fungus Zombies, Antique Diving-Suit Zombies, and beautifully plotted monster killing sequences. Literally what else could you ask for!

It's a very interesting comic. It made me feel a little sick to be reading it in these Coronavirus times. However, although I like Mike Mignola a lot, I don't know if it's his best work. The truth is that I'm already a little tired of zombies, I think it's a pretty boring cliché.

Great art, beautiful colors and really great writing. The story is simple, but in a good way.
Overall a pretty good read.
8/10

I'm always skeptical about stories involving zombies. So I approached this with caution but found it to be better than I expected. I loved the art and the use of the muted colors and vibrant red. Baltimore proved to be more compelling than I expected and I'm ready to read more.

Predictable story. Compulsively readable. Gothic palette. Classic horror page-turner.
Overall effect, meh.
