Mort #1 Review: “A Body Worth Burying”

Neil Raymundo June 17, 2026 No Comments

Writer: Travis Brown Artist: Nate Walkington Jetsetter Comics, July 2026 The debut issue of Mort, entitled “A Body Worth Burying,” wastes no time introducing us to a grim, supernatural world crafted by writer Travis Brown and artist Nate Walkington.

At the center of it all is Mort, a mortician whose past dealings with the creatures of the night make him uniquely suited to navigate the strange events unfolding around him. The issue opens with a shocking sequence. A well-meaning Good Samaritan encounters a frightened young woman who appears lost, confused, and possibly the victim of an abduction. Offering her his coat seems like a simple act of kindness, but the charity proves fatal when the girl is revealed as a vampire.

It’s only been a few days but without divine guidance and a Lord to take charge, Heaven is overworked and thoughts and prayers are beginning to back up. Ancient deities and demigods
