Evil Ernie

Evil Ernie Lives (2021) is Volume 3 of the Evil Ernie reboot by Dynamite Entertainment under their imprint Chaos! Dynamite. This time, he is incarnated yet again with a new origin story in Ernest Gleckman. As expected of the titular character, this comic is full of violence, blood and gore as Evil Ernie goes on a truly evil rampage to avenge himself. However, we also witness redemption and salvation as he learns about love and humanity. The line art is superb, with precise lines that are pleasant to look at. Likewise, the coloring art is excellent, with vibrant colors that pop and enhance the viscerality of the art. The story is well-written, emotional and grounded, with everything contained in the comic without leaving any leftovers or cliffhangers. A full-page cover gallery allows the reader to appreciate the variant covers in all their horrifying beauty. Highly recommended comic for both new and veteran readers alike.
