A unique mix of baseball and horror, this is an enjoyable, but ultimately forgettable graphic novel. It follows a traveling baseball team who have the bad luck to enter a small town with a dark past. The resulting showdown is filled with every imaginable horror movie and baseball cliche, and is about as "over the top" as "over the top" can be. It's a diverting entertainment, if that's your cup of tea, but it never really rises above the concept. It's the art that is the real selling point -- the artist really knocks it out of the park. (Pun intended.)

amazing book, and as usual STOKOE really brought his game... too bad there's a disagreement b/w Stokoe and Smith

The best thing about this book is the artwork. The storyline is like Evil Dead, and isn't enough to carry for more than 1/3 of the book.

Let's face it, I was really only here for Stokoe's art, and he doesn't disappoint. Smith's writing is hacky and stupid, relying on crude stereotypes that he doesn't even bother to deconstruct or make fun of, just letting the art carry the whole project.

This is an incredibly stupid, hackily written, pant-by numbers ultra-vilent monster story about a team full of formerly professional baseball players trapped in a haunted town. But you kind of know that going in, so it shouldn't be a letdown when the writer hits every horror story beat without adding any flair or interesting humor.
If you like baseline (umm...sorry) horror or James Stokoe's art, this will be a fun read. If you're not a fan of either, I'd stay far away.

The artwork is gorgeous but the story leaves a whole lot to be desired. I guess it's decent fantasy stuff.
Really it's only worth it for the Stokoe art.

Note: I kickstarted this project
This book was really, really good. The characters were entertaining, the story moved at a fairly quick pace, I kept trying to guess what would happen next and was always surprised! The story is also very unique. All in all I am very, very happy with this book.

Fun, over-the-top horror tinged with humor and baseball. What more could you ask for? The oversized format is really fantastic for this volume too, really fitting the insane larger-than-life monsters drawn by Stokoe.
