Think Alike Productions have been out in the independent market for just a short time, but have been doing some incredible things. We first met them when we attended New York Comic Con last year, and Chris did a review of their comic The Agency. Since then, they’ve put out such great titles like: Salvagers, Max Hunter, and their newest work, Prey for Angels. The comic is adapted by Ruben Romero (The Agency) from a script by Kristian Fraga. The artwork is done by the amazing Sajad Shah (read our interview with him here.), whose worked on Zindan: The Last Ansaars and Brimstone and the Borderhounds.

The story follows a series of murders set in the 18th Century cities of London and Paris. The police are baffled by a killer who seems to have an acute knowledge of medicine and is removing the sexual organs of it’s female victims. Things begin to escalate as the killer starts to take out men as well, and a French detective has to bring in the only other person whose ever encountered this savagery in the past to help solve the crimes.

I don’t want to focus too much on the story because I want everyone to check out this comic and not have the plot ruined. It starts off strong and definitely makes you want to see where things are going to go as the full seven issue series unfolds. I think that the artwork by Shah does a great job to compliment the writing by Romero. I’m a huge fan of that era of Jack the Ripper and other gothic things like Penny Dreadful; and the imagery does a good job of bringing the reader to that time period. You get that feeling in Prey that you could walk around any dark corner in Paris or London, and someone could jump out and attack you.

The comic takes you down a lot of twists and turns, and at the end of the issue you really don’t know where all of the characters stand. Or they good or bad? You know that you want to see how the detectives will catch this killer, but you also want to know who the next victim is going to be. It’s a great dichotomy between the violent and the brilliant and the pairing of Shah and Fraga do a fantastic job with the subject matter at hand.

You can get the comic by visiting Comixology HERE and if your’e interested in the other comics by Think Alike, make sure you check out their website and Facebook page.
