SUPERNATURAL: Beginning's End

Since the TV series SUPERNATURAL first started I've been hooked. Following the adventures of Sam and Dean Winchester as they hunt ghosts, fight demons and save people from evil I've laughed, cried and been seriously creeped out. SUPERNATURAL is now in it's fifth season and I'm still on the edge of my seat to see what happens next as the Apocalypse is now in motion.



The SUPERNATURAL series has spun off in comic books, the first mini series was SUPERNATURAL: ORIGINS, a 6 issue story arc focusing on Daddy John Winchester and how he got started in his quest to find the demon that killed his wife while raising his boys.



It was a good set and solid story. I honestly can't get enough of this show and always want more bits and pieces. I was happy when I heard another series of comic books were coming out.

SUPERNATURAL - Beginning's End - 6 issue mini series
Issue #1 - March 2010
Writers: Andres Dabb & Daniel Loflin
Art - Diego Almos (Cover Art too)

In Beginning's End we are told of the events that lead to where Season one began, a time when Sam and Dean are all grown up and at their dad's side though Sam is rebelling wishing for a normal life and college.

The book is very much in tone of the series, it's really nice to get more of Sam and Dean with their dad though the relationship is volatile. They have a real dysfunctional family unit, and it's the family ties that are the core of the show.

In Beginning John, Dean and Sam are close to getting new information on the demon killer while meeting up with a team of Hunters in New York City. These hunters don't to have the same outlook as the Winchesters and use extreme force taking out creatures, even harmless ones just because they're monsters. Supernatural does offer a good sense of humanity and moral dilemmas which adds to it's fine storytelling.



I really do like this art style, though it's not the exact likeness of Sam and Dean a.k.a Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles respectively. The art has captured the overall grimy, shadowed atmosphere of the show and it's all pretty slick.



Now this is just the first issue, the intros have been made and the family dynamic is set up and the action has already started up nice with some monster fights. I'm quite anxious to see how the rest of the story plays out. Thanks to being a regular weekly/monthly comic buyer I have some patience but it's not always easy.

This Thursday, Feb. 4th is SUPERNATURAL TV night and I'm excited for the show. Let the Sam and Dean adventure continue! Yup!

COMIC BOOKS KICK ASS!
