Review: ‘Hunt.Kill.Repeat.’ #4 Somehow Keeps Upping The Bar

Welcome to the table,

The team is coming together in the best possible way.

Mad Cave Studios’  Hunt.Kill.Repeat team has yet to disappoint, and I love them for that. Writer Mark London, artist Francesco Archidiacono, inker Marc Deering, colorist Lee Loughridge, and letter Rus Wooton deliver yet another witty, action-packed story full of gods doing the stuff you want to see gods doing.

The dialog in this book flows so well. Often banter can feel a little clunky but the back and forth across these pages are a testament to the writing skill and the way the letter puts things into play.

The story continues to follow Artemis as she cuts a bloody path through the pantheon, seeking vengeance for the wrongs done to her by Zeus and his holier-than-thou ilk. Artemis is joined by a growing team of loveable outcasts including Tempest, his cat Fur Ball, and a newly resurrected Hephaestus creates a cool dynamic in this book that is slowly shifting from a singular character-driven vengeance story to something even more elevated with the additional protagonists feeling like they are well rounded and able to hold their own in the story alongside the lead.

Tempest has some of the best lines in this issue and is honestly quickly becoming one of my favorite characters in modern comics. He’s a disruptor and the way he is played with reckless abandon while still managing not to be as cringy as some of the other characters who may be given that label really works in the story.

If you have not been reading Hunt.Kill.Repeat up to this point and you are a fan of things like Darksiders, God of War, and Kill Bill, then I urge you to go back and get them all.

Until next time, man it feels good to have comics to look forward to again. I love that I was so close to being gone from the fandom and some of these most recent finds have really resolidified my love for the artform.
