Review: Miskatonic High #1 & #2 (Mike Shea & Ryan Mendoza)
Whether it be Riverdale, Buffy the Vampire Slayer or even One Tree Hill, the school setting has long been a favourite setting for comics. With the school term ending, what better time to enrol in a new series as we check out Mike Shea and Ryan Mendoza’s Miskatonic High, a supernatural adventure/thriller series which sees five students face some unusual goings on. Can this series earn itself A’s with readers, or will it end up languishing in detention?
Publisher: Mike Shea & Ryan Mendoza Comics
Writer: Mike Shea
Artist: Ryan Mendoza
Price: £0.69/$0.99 per issue on Comixology
Miskatonic High tells the story of five students: Alexandra ‘Alex’ Davison, Karen ‘Ren’ Santos, Simon Harris, Matthew ‘Matt’ Williams and Sarah Clarke, who, either by choice or from a lack of options, enrol in Miskatonic High’s Community Services Club. Forming to go out into their local neighbourhood to help those who might need assistance, the five are stunned when they find themselves helping in a misty, fungi covered basement which causes them to transport on an adventure to Ancient Egypt. Now, this ‘infamous five’ must go out into their community to help others, stumble upon other bizarre adventures and attempt to figure out what is going on to make them encounter so many unusual happenings.
Ryan Shea has formed a very enjoyable, light hearted idea within the story of Miskatonic High. With a semblance of many different school based works, such as Morning Glories, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, this series has a very Scooby Doo vibe (minus the dog) as these five characters investigate (albeit somewhat reluctantly) the bizarre events they find themselves in within these first two issues.
Shea does a good job of forming a kind of ‘done-in-one’ comic as each plot wraps rather nicely in a single issue to provide a full and entertaining tale for readers. However, there are references to an ongoing subplot which seem intriguing enough to promote return-ability. The cast are quite an eclectic bunch, seemingly based upon many stereotypes of current day social circles in an almost ‘Breakfast Club’ ensemble.
However, some of these characters do come across as more likeable than others, although two issues may not be enough time to sell them all. Also, the opening half of the first issue feels a little slow and lacking in story direction, possibly due to series setup, although it does help with the air of mystery upon the first big reveal at the midway point.
Meanwhile, Ryan Mendoza offers top notch artwork on this title as his style, again very reminiscent of Image’s Morning Glories series, really works well with the concept thanks to it’s clean, smooth pencils and it’s light, almost pastel like colour scheme. Mendoza really works well here to sell what Shea’s script is offering as the artwork looks equally fun and light-hearted throughout, such as early in the first issue with the falling of the mist in the basement (which looks like a light hearted Francavilla style). However, he also manages to offer hints of a darker tone to build on the mystery with some great inking and shadows during the Egyptian and underground scenes.
Miskatonic High is such a fun, enjoyable comic to read as both its artist and writer have managed to find a sweet spot between slice of life and horror genres and perfectly rendered them onto the page. While, the first two issues are not perfect, their charm and intrigue over the longer story points should be more than enough to convince readers for another lesson. As such, Miskatonic High is a which deserves full marks for the entire class.

Dieses Casino ist eine der Hauptattraktionen auf dem Las Vegas Strip, denn es bietet eine maßstabsgetreue Nachbildung der Skyline von New York City, der Freiheitsstatue und eine Achterbahn in voller Größe
(und funktionstüchtig) innerhalb des Casinos.
Das New York-New York Hotel and Casino bietet
einen Vorgeschmack auf den Big Apple in Las Vegas.
Dieses MGM-Resort verfügt über ein Casino mit 2.000 Automaten und 87 Tischen. Das Resort beherbergt
auch The Chandelier, eine Bar, in der die Mixology-Expertin Mariena Mercer eine Speisekarte zusammengestellt
hat, die moderne Varianten klassischer Cocktails und Drinks
zum Mitnehmen bietet. Das Jaleo serviert Tapas und andere spanische Gerichte von Jose Andres.
Das Casino ist zwar für seine riesigen Tischspiele und einen der geizigsten Spielautomaten in der Geschichte von Las Vegas bekannt, doch auch für Nicht-Spieler bietet das weitläufige
Gebäude jede Menge Abwechslung.Besuchen Sie auf jeden Fall LEVEL
UP, die glorifizierte Spielhalle für Erwachsene, die sich
direkt vor der Tür beim goldenen Löwen befindet.
Im selben Jahr wurden auch die 1992 eröffneten Forum Shops, wie auch die
Casino- und Konferenzflächen erweitert und die ebenso römisch gestaltete Pool- und Gartenanlage errichtet.
Das Hotel am Las Vegas Boulevard besitzt 3.960 Gästezimmer
und Suiten in sechs Zimmertürmen.
Mit seinen erstklassigen Restaurants, exquisiten Spas und beeindruckenden Pools bietet es
ein unvergleichliches Erlebnis für jeden Gast.
Dabei steigt Tony im Caesars Palace ab, entspannt dort am Pool des Hotels und zockt im dazugehörigen Casino.
Hierzu zählen die vielen Statuen, die Originalen in der italienischen Hauptstadt Rom nachempfunden sind,
so wie zum Beispiel der Trevi-Brunnen mit seinen Götterstatuen. Es wurde 2003
eröffnet und seitdem sind hier berühmte Künstler wie
Celine Dion oder Elton John aufgetreten.

To avoid bad publicity, some casinos review AskGamblers
and respond to player complaints. Contact an online casino’s customer support staff if you have a technical issue
or payment issue in an online casino. From the perspective of mastering a
casino game, these are the games that are the easiest to win. Yes,
but only if you choose the best USA casinos online. Instead, many US casino sites offer RTG and Rival Gaming software, which have big
but not record-setting jackpots.
This is why I suggest you either time your sessions or take breaks in between games.
Some games can be immersive, and you can easily lose track of time.
When you’re gambling online, an unstable connection is problematic, so I suggest upgrading your plan or switching providers if your internet isn’t stable.
No round-trip to casinos, no dressing up, and you
don’t even need to be on a PC. This is a variety that you won’t find in land-based casinos.
When given a choice, I would choose playing at an actual casino 10 out of 10 times.
