Devil in the Details is Moonstone's third all-new comic book featuring TV's original paranormal investigator, hard-nosed reporter Carl Kolchak! On the surface, this one looks like an open and shut case of embezzlement, as Chester Fredesen takes off with his company's loot while his brother (and business partner) Barry lies dying in a hospital bed. Soon, other members of the family begin to vanish, and Barry's disease goes into an impossible state of remission, as Kolchak tumbles headlong into a hi-tech horror story.

Kolchak #5 maintains solid quality of renewed series.,
By
This review is from: Kolchak Night Stalker: Devil In The Details (Paperback)
When the lesser half of a troubled technology company vanishes into thin air reporter Carl Kolchak investigates. What he discovers is something far more macabre than simple corporate thieving. Moonstone has yet another feather for the straw hat of its Kolchak: The Night Stalker line. Once again they have captured the flavor of the series, bringing in the news room regulars (Ron Updyke, Miss Emily, and, of course, Tony Vincenzo) for comic relief and the monster Carl battles this time is arguably the best one yet. Another nice touch is the continuity and the growing frustration Kolchak is beginning to show with constantly running into the creatures of the night. That touch gives this series a realistic element that makes it all the more entertaining and addictive. Highly recommended. Be on the look out for issue #6, Pain Most Human.

The fifth Kolchak graphic novel,
By
This review is from: Kolchak Night Stalker: Devil In The Details (Paperback)
Jeff Rice and company at Moonstone have done a wonderful job with their KOLCHAK series of graphic novels. This one is no different, while the artwork might leave a little to be desired (sketchy, and Kolchak often doesn't look like himself-overly pointed nose) it is adequate to tell the wonderful storyline they cooked up this time. Devil in the Details starts off with some wonderful narration from our intrepid reporter. It then procedes to delve into some dark moments which immediately engages the reader with the characters and environment. It then continues with the same wonderful narration throughout the rest of the book. This is some of the best writing I have encountered in a comic in some time. Keep em coming Moonstone-Recommended

5.0 out of 5 stars
Captures the original TV series perfectly!,
This review is from: Kolchak Night Stalker: Devil In The Details (Paperback)
Carl Kolchak, the intrepid reporter with a knack for stumbling across the weird and unusual, takes on one of his strangest cases yet in "Devil in the Details". The fifth in Moonstone's line of Kolchak graphic novels, this book takes place in modern-day California, where Carl and the old gang from INS now work at the Los Angeles Dispatch. When a bizarre event occurs at a Santa Carla technology firm called Byte-by-Byte Inc., Carl is sent in to cover the story, and he soon finds himself up against his most high-tech adversaries to date on a mission of murder according to a master plan.
Writer Stefan Petrucha does a marvelous job capturing the spirit of the classic Night Stalker television series in this excellent Kolchak graphic novel from Moonstone. Trevor Von Eeden's sketchy illustration style may bother some, but, as an illustrator myself, I rather like it. Though, I do agree that better likenesses to the actors who originally portrayed these characters would have been nice. Doug Klauba's cover art is a wonderful likeness of Darren McGavin's Kolchak, and it's one of the best Kolchak comic covers I've seen so far, though I haven't seen many (they're pretty hard to find in my local comic shops, just found this one and it's about 5 years old). The cover doesn't really clue one in to the story at all and so may not recruit many new readers, but being a Kolchak fan, I don't need more than an image of Darren McGavin in a straw hat and seersucker suit to catch my attention. I highly recommend this and other Kolchak material for great nights of spooky reading or TV watching! Great stuff!
