Raymond Delgado isn't well. He's the newest inmate at the Hoxford Correctional Facility and Mental Institution. He has no hope of release, parole, rehabilitation, or decent conversation. On a good day, he'll tell you he's Zeus and only bite your arm off. Literally. On a bad day, you won't have time to scream to the prison guard for help. But Dr. Jessica Ainley, his doctor for five, years wants to help Ray and can't understand why the newly privatized, corporately-run prison won't give her access to her patients. And why are people always transferred into Hoxford, but no records show anyone ever transferring back out?… (mere)

This was a whole lotta fun. I don't necessarily thing Templesmith delivered on the initial promise of Ray Delgado, but overall, the characters, the story and the art were great.

Just a fun, simple little story of some prison inmates and some werewolves. What could go wrong? ( )

The three volumes of Wormwood, Gentleman Corpse were my introduction to Ben Templesmith and I was blown away by the artwork and the writing. Welcome to Hoxford is darker, with less humor but more intensity. There are a couple of scenes where you'll laugh and then wonder if the laughter was appropriate - it was. This is a focused, nasty horror story about the - vanishingly small - differences between men and beasts. ( )

I adore Ben Templesmith. He was the best thing about 30 Days of Night (the writing just couldn't live up to his art). Welcome to Hoxford is a stand-alone both written and illustrated by Mr. Templesmith and it is awesome. And very disturbing. My husband got about 10 or pages in and went, "Nope. Not reading this. Don't want the nightmares." I loved it!

Who doesn't love a comic set in an asylum for the criminally insane run by a mysterious Russian corporation? I don't want to say very much because I don't want to include any spoilers, but this book will scare your pants off. Templesmith's art is gorgeous, his writing is wonderful, and he manages two different things at once: the out of the corner of your eye kind of suspense, and the aftermath when that thing you thought you saw out of the corner of your eye appears and rocks your world.

Horror comics and horror books and horror movies are all three things that are very difficult to do well. There are so many cliches and so often things tend to devolve into something resembling torture porn. Mr. Templesmith knows from horror - he can write it, he can illustrate it, and he's in my pantheon - right up there with Messrs. Moore, Gaiman, and Morrison. Can't wait to start Wormwood: Gentleman Corpse (an ongoing series)! ( )

Pretty violent and short. A darn decent werewolf read. I just wish it had gone a little longer. The underlying premise doesn't make too much sense. Even extremely violent, death row people would have lawyers, relatives. It's hard to imagine this working for too long. ( )
