Penny Dreadful  будет жить как серия комиксов.

Many fans of Victorian fiction and classic Gothic monsters were heartbroken when it turned out that last year’s third season of the drama Penny Dreadful on Showtime would turn out to be its last. Although the finale episode gave definitive conclusions to some of the characters, there were many, many plot threads that could have continued forward if the show’s creator John Logan had decided to keep going with the show.

While we won’t be getting a fourth season of the series anytime soon it seems, the folks at Titan Comics are continuing the story in a new comic book series from the creative team of the show’s co-executive producer Chris King as writer, with interior art from Jesús Hervás (Sons of Anarchy). Set six months after the series finale, the new comic book series is called Penny Dreadful: The Awaking

In this new comic book continuation, we find Josh Hartnett‘s character of Ethan Chandler unable to move on from the painful events of the show’s final episode. As he searches desperately for meaning in a world without his beloved Vanessa Ives, ancient words echo across the centuries, and he is called on once again to take up arms against the creatures crawling out of the night.

Titan Comics’ Penny Dreadful #1: The Awaking comes with six fantastic covers to collect from artists including; Stephen Mooney (Half Past Danger), Rob Davis (The Motherless Oven), Shane Pierce (Judge Dredd, Vikings), Louie De Martinis (Penny Dreadful prequel mini-series) and also two incredible connecting photo variant covers. Penny Dreadful #1: The Awaking hits comic stores and digital platforms on April 5, 2017. You can see all the cover images in our gallery below.

Penny Dreadful #2.6 Review: Hemorrhaging Dialogue And Cliches Abound

Lily and Ethan prepare to deal with the forces of Hell itself, and, to do so, they must find Dracula and make use of an ancient weapon which he alone possesses.

Meanwhile, Lucifer, possessing the body of Vanessa Ives, prepares to begin his quest for dominance by calling upon every vile instinct which humanity possesses. He also calls upon an old pact with Dorian Gray.

Sedna and Kaetenay are assaulted aboard a boat in the chaos.

Frankenstein and Jekyll prepare to resurrect Sir Malcolm, but Catriona is in touch with Malcolm’s spirit and knows a better way to seek his aid.
The show Penny Dreadful was fun but flawed. Using the Victorian/Gothic era horror to paint something of a shared universe (not too unlike League of Extraordinary Gentlemen) is a fun idea. Timothy Dalton and Eva Green are great actors, and Josh Hartnett arguably put in the best performance of his career on the show.

Continuing that show to put together a Biblical apocalypse wherein Miss Ives turns out to be the Lilith of the Apocrypha seems like a logical extension of the series.

Unfortunately, the dialogue in this story is pretty bad and impossible to ignore. It uses clichés as much as it uses reference to Gothic horror.

Penny Dreadful #2.6 implies that Lucifer is trying to start World War I, which has become a bizarre fixture of stories taking place in the late 19th Century (see also Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows).

They make Dracula a part of Lucifer’s fall from grace. I get it; everyone likes to tack on their pre-Stoker origin story for Dracula. There’s been everything from Vlad the Impaler to Judas Iscariot, but this one feels like it’s trying a bit too hard.

Dorian Gray feels a bit out of character too. He is too submissive and is unhappy with his current existence, both of which feel very unlike him.

The art is pretty solid, with its washed-out and shadow-heavy style. It looks quite good, and the color work is appropriately grim. Jesus Hervas and Jason Wordie put in some admirable work in this comic.

Unfortunately, the clichés, the weak recreations of the characters, and the abysmal dialogue make Penny Dreadful #6 a pretty dire book. This one does not earn a recommendation. Give it a pass.
