Comic review: Inferno #4- One for the kids

Writer: Dennis Hopeless
Artist: Javier Garron
Publisher: Marvel Comics
Released: 19th August 2015


Inferno #4 is a funny, silly, Nickelodeon teen speak book that follows the X-Men as they fight ‘evil’ monsters in an alternative hellish reality.

The tone is light and playful. The characters joke and quip with each other and the plot is not really very important.

The art isn’t particularly great, but you can differentiate the characters and the happy, smiling faces of both heroes and villains fits the playful tone of the narrative.

There are no themes or issues in the text. The characters are toys, cartoon characters, and they act like children having fun in a playroom full of plastic superhero figures.

The boys and girls are pretty much identical to each other. Some are good, others are bad, but the good and bad isn’t very deep, and the meaning is only surface level, so further analysis is not needed.

Get the book if you are under the age of about sixteen or so, and want a fun, playful fights and quips comic book to read. For anybody else though, it’s not going to make much of an impact.

Inferno #4 is a book for children, so I’m not going to be too hard on it. There’s nothing here for me, and so I’ll be one and out with this one.


Rating: 6/10 (A friendly, silly comic book that is perfect for children)
