What a solid first volume. 
Set the foundations for an interesting concept. 
I like the art style and the storyline so far has me keen to pick up the next volume.

I may revise my rating later, but this first entry into the series of horror comics feels at one and the same time cliched in its scenes and characters and working too hard to provoke readers through its gore of child bodies.

I'm a fan of Tynion's other work, especially Nice House on the Lake, so I want top read the rest of the series to see where it goes; this first volume leaves far too much yet unexplained (though the foreshadowing of a dark cabal of monster-killers isn't altogether promising). 

Am I missing something, or is some horror now more akin to dark fantasy?  I felt no horror, but was compelled a bit by the action. 

(And as ever, kudos to Tynion for normalizing the non-binary.)

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.

This would have gotten four stars except some of the panels are kind of confusing if they should be read cross page or top down.
