• Strong character development? It's complicated

4.0

This is probably the creepiest graphic novel I've ever read. The author and illustrator succeed in giving you a sense of who the characters are at the most basic level in a limited number of pages. It is pretty gory, though, so keep that in mind before reading. This is just the beginning of the story, though, so learn from my example and make sure to have the next issue on hand, because it's easy to get hooked on the plot.

Because this was such a fast read and I tried not to focus too much on the gore, I'm shockingly looking forward to reading the rest of these.

Warning: The title is not lying…

This just may be one of the best comic series I have ever read. I could not put it down and I was so excited to learn Netflix is adapting it into a show. I got my husband to read it and he stayed up late reading issues #1 - #20. Now we are both die hard fans and have bought many alt covers and had them graded. So much care has been put into this series and as you read it, you can instantly imagine it as a show along with where season 1 could end and season 2 could pick up. Erica Slaughter is a dry witted badass with so many layers that make you absolutely love and root for her. If you love horror and comics, you will love this!
