Apr 29, 2026Operation: Iron Coffin comes out of the gate swinging with a unique premise that delivers far more than ever expected. Kenny Porter and Tyrell Cannon give us a Dracula that isn’t just here for the carnage, although we get plenty of that, but for a compelling redemption arc wrapped in a fast-paced, blood-soaked WWII setting. IDW Dark may have some heavy hitting titles in its first year as an imprint at IDW Publishing, but Operation: Iron Coffin stands out as one of the best. Read Full Review

Comic Book Clique - Frank Jarome
Jun 24, 2026Operation: Iron Coffin #1 is a pulpy, blood-soaked romp with a surprising amount of pathos that needs to be read with heavy metal music blaring through your headphones. The idea of dropping Dracula on Nazis like a bomb is gleefully insane, and the creative team makes full use of the ridiculous premise. The stakes continue to rise throughout the issue, and we're left with the promise that there's still plenty of blood to spill before the sun rises again. Read Full Review

AIPT - David Brooke
Apr 30, 2026Operation: Iron Coffin #1 is a ferocious, stylish debut that knows exactly what it wants to be and delivers. Kenny Porter and Tyrell Cannon fuse grindhouse action with a surprisingly thoughtful take on Dracula, creating a book that moves fast but still leaves room for character. The hook is immediate, the action is relentless, and the promise of what is lurking deeper in the train gives the series plenty of runway. If the next issues build on this foundation, this could be one of the most memorable horror comics of the year. This is pure action horror with adrenaline pumped in for good measure. Read Full Review
