This was my first reading of any work by Joe Hill, per a recommendation by my uncle. I haven't read a graphic novel in years, so it was fun to jump back in to that medium. 

June was a fun character and I loved the random but awesome Norse axe which leaves its beheaded victims alive. The plot itself was fairy basic and came to be a tad predictable, and I did find some of the dialogue to be q little too exposition-heavy, but it was a fun read nonetheless. Also I think in the comic format it's difficult to give backatory since dialogue is the main way to transmit information to the reader, so I understand that.

A fun story, gruesome art, and makes me want to read more work by Hill :)

It's shorter than I expected but still great. I wasn't exactly that surprised with the true reveals of the bad guys and their real plan. If it was longer I think it could've been better, but it was still well done. Not as scary as I expected, either.

An interesting little story! But not worth the money for the physical copy.  While some stories are more captivating, this felt ultimately forgettable at the end of the day.
