I’ve tried tracking these comics down in person, finally had to crack and do the ebooks—out of print graphic novels are no joke!

Anyways, this read is yet another check mark in my quest to read/watch everything related to Supernatural. Today—literally as I write this mini review—is the 20th anniversary of the pilot episode airing. Wild how time flies!

This first issue was interesting. I love the setting, as the boys never went to New York City! John Winchester is… John. And so far, this first issue sets them up for more of the usual John W being myopic about the yellow-eyed demon and Sam being upset about it all. Sigh. I’m looking forward to a bigger plot afoot in the later issues in this set!

サムが家出をするまでの話。

　2001年、サムは高校の卒業式も欠席させられて、ジョン・ディという男にメアリーの死の手がかりをもとめて一家でNYに向かうことになったことに不満たらたら。
　そもそもいつになればこんな生活が終わるのか、ジョンに対して不満をぶつけずにはいられない。ジョンもサムが的を得たことを言っているとわかっているので、まともに反論することもできずにグッと堪えている。ディーンはそんな2人に挟まれて、困っている。

　やっぱりお母さんの記憶がない分、真犯人探しといっても、それで普通の暮らしができないことへのストレスはサム大きいようで、ついに不満を爆発させ、暴言をはきジョンに殴られてしまう。

　サムに手をあげたジョンにディーンもショックを受けていた。終始2人がいがみ合っているのはディーン相当辛いだろうなぁ。

　サムもスタンフォードへの道が開そうなのに、進学も許してもらえそうな気配なく。このままだと未来もなにも棒にふってしまいそうで絶望的な気分になるというのも理解はできる。

Oh gee, an issue of a comic where a character(s) goes to hunt down some sort of creature, and shenanigans ensue. Never seen that done before.

Also, wow, I didn't realize that Waldo was such a psychotic monster. That is terrible..... can't say I really feel bad about what happened to the Hardy Boys though. That's not to say that I wanted them to die, but more so...... who gives a shit about the Hardy Boys?

Issue #1

Much better than the previous SPN comics I've read, but that's probably because I'm familiar with Dabb's writing. He was a writer for the show, after all.

I think I'm gonna stick with this one. There are some continuity errors in regards to the timeline, but I can ignore it.

Will post a review once I've finished #6.

I'm gonna miss this show when it ends. Since this is written by the writers of the show, should this be considered canon? 🤔🤔

Wow.
Been a fan for so long that even seeing the impala in comic book form, is still sexy.

Violent, angry and accurate character referencing.
