‘Bedlam #8:’ Advance Comic Book Review

Is evil just something you are, or something you do?

That’s the question asked by Bedlam creators Nick Spencer and Riley Rossmo. Let me warn you right off the bat that Bedlam, published by Image Comics, is not a series for everyone. It’s uber-violent, bloody, and features plenty of villains that will make your skin crawl. Bedlam is, by far, one of the sickest, most twisted stories I’ve had the pleasure of reading. An interesting look into what exactly “evil” is. Any person who considers themselves a fan of horror and thrillers should definitely pick this up. Writer Nick Spencer does a fantastic job of weaving together an intricate story filled with plenty of gut-wrenching moments throughout. If the story doesn’t creep you out, the artwork in this issue by Ryan Browne most certainly will, which is a compliment for the record. Bedlam is one of my favorite-looking titles out there. It’s unique, jarring, and makes you feel more immersed in the world. 

The eighth issue in the series keeps the crazy train a rollin’. We’re introduced to a new storyline involving multiple explosions across the city, and given more flashbacks to the super psychotic supervillain Madder Red, who may be the greatest, most intriguing psychopathic character ever created. Every time he’s featured, I find myself picking my jaw off the floor. Kudos, Mr. Spencer. Along with Neil Cross, creator of the BBC TV series Luther, you really know how to give someone the willies. A product of living in England? Maybe there’s something in the tea. Anyway, I highly recommend picking up Bedlam.
