 Hi everyone, welcome to my channel and welcome to another comic book reading and Just so you know, we're Livestreaming this as well and we had a little poll action going on It was a choice between this one and one of the comic which is impact comics from 1955 Impact comics number three from 1955 and I walk with monsters one Roller to die because it was a tie Pole that we ran it was 50 50 Split so I walk with monsters one on this reading and we're gonna read impact from 1955 in the next reading But for now, I walk with monsters from vault Comics from this company right here and if you're reading comic books If you're a comic book aficionado if you love comic books, you should be checking out what vault comics is putting out They're putting out some amazing books amazing stories Independent comic books Independent creators putting their heart and soul into these things Highly recommend it. There are a lot of a lot of amazing independent publishers out there right now They're worth checking out as for I walk with monsters this comic. This is number one It's the debut edition of I walk with monsters. It came out in November 2020 okay the writer for this is Paul Cornell. He's a UK Writer and he's done a lot of work for TV and he's done some work for comic books as well for Marvel Comics for DC Comics He's worked on Coronation Street on Core Coronation Street, which is a very long running TV series in the UK Robin Hood Primal, Casualty, Hobby City, so he's worked on a lot of different TV series, especially in the UK. The artist for this is Sally Cantarino and she's based in New York okay, and The other person that worked on this is I'm brutalizing the names by the way here Dear dear Bala Kelly and she's from Ireland and I believe she did the inking for this Right, so we have Cornell here the writer Cantarino is the artist for this Kelly. I believe is the Colorist for this and and world. I believe that the lettering for this right? I don't know where And world is is based. I'm assuming They're in or male or female. They're in the United States and we ended up picking up this comic book on the cheap with All the variant covers to issue number one in a previous comic book haul, right? So let's take a look at the alternate covers. We're going to read this one. This is the main cover okay, and This is believe cover B, which is also beautiful love the coloring on this Okay, beautiful. Now all these are in sort of my lower back. So I'm not going to take out all of them She says I voted Right, did you vote? Here is cover C. I believe Beautiful color again, and this is a horror based comic from Walt comics Very nice of putting on an angle because our skylight and the camera is good for lighting for reading the comics But you get a serious glare off the mylar this cover. I believe was the one in 25 or 1 in 10, which is a beautiful color as well Very beautiful coloring. I love the coloring of this This one is a foil cover and I believe It's the same cover as this like all these three are the same. Let me show them to you hard to see Because all the reflections, right? All three of these are the same But this one I believe was 1 in 10 or 1 in 25 This one was the one foil cover So it's got a More of a glare to it, right? And this was either 1 in 10 or 1 in 25 And or this could have been the special that was sent out one per comic book store And this is the virgin cover right and the virgin cover is beautiful because you see the The whole artwork without any of the text in there even though I love the text on comics I don't collect too many virgin covers, but it's beautiful And we ended up getting this for You know it was around mid 20s or $20 $20 plus off an auction comic book haul I forget which comic book haul it was but When we upload this video on the platforms that we're going to share this in this video on this live stream on I'll provide the link in the description if I remember To do that Okay so Let's crack this open and I Read through I walk with monsters from 2020 And I guess the nightfall They're calling it as the horror Horror titles they're putting out and these were in mint condition one of the comics I think the one in 25 had a ding on it But aside from that It was Fantastic, there's a ding here like a right you can see it if you run your finger through it as well But it's a it's a really good shape So that ding probably brings it down to like a 9.2. I doubt it 9.2, let's call it but everything else on it looks Fantastic, I would even say 9.4, but the ding might knock it off if there's any other flaws in this We'll kick it down to 9.2 But just with that little thing I would say 9.4 The edges are crazy sharp So the only flaw that we see is right there That guy right there From the main cover or the front cover and the back there's no No creases no dings, right? cameras a hard time focusing on black and white, but We try we try really crisp I walk with monsters What is that drying? Oh, it's footprints. Take a look our shoe prints That's a nice design Look at the wolf monster bird What else do we got here? Those are the boot prints right Whole bunch of animals and there's little dragons and creatures there. That's super cool and Cornell can Terino Kelly and and wood Let's read this In JC's past Is the important man who took away her brother? Now JC has David who sometimes transforms into a terrifying beast Together, they found a way to live at the hunt Sniffing out men who prey on the vulnerable But JC and David are about to run into the important man again a Haunting story about the monsters that walk beside us all and sometimes lurk within beautiful artwork Check this out beautiful design So vault comics presents artist Sally Cantarino writer Paul Cornell letterer and Wood design so and wood design is I would assume as a company All right It'd be weird if it's the person's name, right and what design is a company and colorists is dear dear dear la Kelly. I'm assuming that's a serious Irish name Let's see if the red text will show up Oh, it's trying. It's trying There it is Publisher Damien a wassall editor-in-chief Adrien F.
