Editorial Reviews

[Ash & Thorn] brings the wit you'd expect from an AHOY comic to a plot that's equal parts
“Golden Girls” and “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.” Plus there are recipes in the back!”

"Ash & Thorn has an engaging, offbeat heroine, an amusing supporting cast, and a fun premise that suggests life experience counts, especially when demons are about to overrun the world.
Come for the company, stay for the adventure. You'll be glad you did!"



- Louise Simonson



"I love stories that take familiar fantasy tropes and twist them into something new thanks to amazing execution and a clear, entertaining point of view. Ash & Thorn, the new AHOY Comics series from writer Mariah McCourt and artist Soo Lee, is exactly that kind of story, and the first issue is one of the most delightful starts to a comic that I've picked up so far this year. ... This is a series that doesn't have first issue jitters, doesn't need time to figure itself out, and doesn't take its time making with the monster action. It arrives with a big magical flourish,
and it's an absolute delight to read thanks to beautifully paced dialogue and absolutely gorgeous art that has me itching to see what kind of monsters Lee will dream up next." -

"I mean, you gotta have something to do between knitting and baking. Why not fight eldritch horrors?... Ahoy Comics' latest supernatural series, ASH & THORN, where the savior of the day isn't some muscle-bound superhero or a scantily-clad femme fatale but instead, a little old lady named Lottie Thorn." -

“An apocalyptic, supernatural fantasy series with a difference... There's something of Douglas Addams and Ian
Edginton in the way Mariah McCourt writes her characters. ... Once again Lee's artwork does a grand job of bringing the story to life. There's a few eldritch moments that are Lovecraftian enough to ring a bell for me... I'm going to continue recommending that you grab a copy (and possibly a cup of tea and a slice of cake) and give this one a look." -
