I picked up this book thinking it was going to be like a horror-serial killer-esque story. That's not the plot at all. I encourage you go into this book blind because the twists and turns will truly get you. One of the best graphic novel / comic series I've read. The sequel is even better in my opinion, perfection on top of perfection.

An interesting psychological horror/mystery graphic novel. The characters blend together a little bit (I think there’s maybe too many of them for such a short story) but the art and ideas are intriguing. I want to know where the story is going with what’s been set up. Plus I always love when an author tries to blow up the Mystery Box.

This was interesting. I really enjoyed Something Is Killing The Children and found this, so I thought I’d try it out.

I’m definitely intrigued with the overall premise and I’m curious to see where this goes. I feel like there are too many characters with very similar personalities, it made it a bit difficult to track who’s who. Especially when the characters themselves don’t know each other in the beginning.

I feel like this could go on to be really awesome….or it could become really overdone and dull. It’ll just depend on where they take the story and how its handled. As for Vol. 1 on it’s own, it was good. Not stunning. But fun and intriguing nonetheless.
