Sorrow by Seth Peck, Rick Remender, Francesco Francavilla

I'm not sure why I wanted to give Remender another shot after suffering through the train wreck that was Sea of Red... well, probably because I did enjoy The Last Days of American Crime... but anyways, Sorrow is another weak effort from Remender. It all feels very amateurish. This is a pretty standard bad B-movie in graphic novel form.

Kids end up lost, get to a "deserted" town, run into some weird people, have some crazy stuff happen, have it all explained in some convoluted storytelling from someone who randomly shows up, and then there's a quick climax that feels too brief and undercuts the supposed danger that everyone was in.

So if paint-by-numbers, badly paced, eye-rollingly written horror is your thing, then by all means grab this. You'd be better off finding something else to read, though.

I got this at the clearance section at a comic shop for $5, I think it retailed for $14, but its worth no more than $5. First off let me say, the character Matt is the biggest pile of garbage. The story had a great build up but ultimately I was let down. I was left with a lot of questions and I doubt there is going to be a part 2 so I may never know. Concept was different which I enjoyed. The artwork was black and white but it added to the eerie feel of the story.

Where did those kids come from?

What happened at the end? Was that a reflection of herself?

Who didn't die in the fire?
