The X-Files' Joe Harris takes on The Prince of Darkness - Alice Cooper in his FIRST ongoing comic series! Rock n' roll legend Alice Cooper was never a stranger to the mystic and the macabre. His stage shows were the stuff of legend, featuring snakes and pyrotechnics and the invocation of dark themes and darker forces. But while he was a legend in the waking world, few knew his role as "The Lord of Nightmares" beyond it, where he watched over us while we dreamed, and delivered horrors unto the deserving. Only someone took it all away from him, cast him out of his realm and locked him away... until now. And if he's going to reclaim his dark throne, he's going to need all the help he can get!

Alice Cooper #1 (Published by Dynamite Entertainment; Review by Aaron Duran; 'Rama Rating: 5 out of 10):

Believe it or not, there was a time when both theatrical rock and comics were considered counter-culture. Something for parents to fear and condemn. Alice Cooper #1 is very much a product of a time long past, which is something that writer Joe Harris could have played upon. Instead, the reader is presented with a very by-the-numbers "album summons the devil" comic that just feels tired and a little sad. The art by Eman Casallos is bright, vibrant, and incredibly expressive. But like Harris' writing, plays it safe with its stylistic homage to classic EC comics. Don't get me wrong, there isn't anything bad with this comic, but nor is there anything all that good. It's the same story we've ready before, usually from KISS. Even fans of the Godfather of Shock Rock might want to think twice.
