Not content to rest on his well-earned laurels, John Carpenter, the King of Horror, joined forces with his wife, producer and fellow horror titan Sandy King, to create Storm King Comics. The label ensured that the resurgent horror comics scene would have a new home. From their series Storm Kids—which is dedicated to delivering thrills, chills and age-appropriate horror to young readers—comes the modern-day retelling of the classical Greek tale of Orpheus and Eurydice, in the form of Fetch. Fetch, Book One: The Journey is the first chapter of a two-part story. It was written by Mike Sizemore, illustrated by Dave Kennedy, with colors by Pete Kennedy and letters by Janice Chiang. The book with 12-year-old Danni mourning the untimely death of her best friend, her dog, Pirate. In the throes of grief, she’s gifted a grand tome of Greek mythology from a mysterious substitute teacher. She then embarks on a quest to recover her dog’s soul from Hades’s realm. However, she has a few problems. One, her curious little brother Sammy has followed her into the Greek afterlife. Two, she’s going to need more than a book to guide her through this strange new world. She needs a hero, and the legendary, yet amnesiac Odysseus seems up to the task. But is Dani really going on this ultimate fetch quest for the right reasons? More importantly, who really set her on a quest into Hades’ realm, and why?In true kids’ adventure fashion, Sizemore filled Fetch, Book One: The Journey with the genre’s most familiar tropes and archetypes. Some familiar conventions include the enterprising kid hero, the loss of a beloved pet, a wayward and carefree younger sibling, a strange and dangerous world to explore, a mentor — albeit an eccentric one — to help guide them, and a lovable cast of characters who join the party. While this sounds straightforward, Sizemore provides a few twists and turns, implying neither Danni’s nor the gods’ motives aren’t completely pure.
