This was a very, very fun read for me. The first thing I did was recommend it to my friends in the lovingly nicknamed body horror/supernatural/human experimentation fandom. I think it would be right up their alley. No cults, which is fair, but a fair amount of gripping terror! 10/10 would read again! Would recommend to my boss! To my friends! To my coworkers! To my cat, if I had one!
The released version I read doesn't have this cover, but eh. I like the published one better. Less strain on the eyes.

I guess this might just be a product of it being a comic that'll release in bits, but it was really short and a bit confusing overall. It's a very good setup with great characters, but it ended right as it started to go into the story after the setup so I don't really have much to review in all honesty.
A group of queer teens are just trying to live life through severe homophobia and transphobia while a missing person has turned up dead. Evading having the crime pinned on them, the teens must try and survive in a world that might literally become hell.
I really can't say too much about this, the bigory is quite explicit throughout and while I imagine it is a setup, the background to why at least one of them keeps actively seeking it out isn't explained at all. Pretty much *nothing* is explained even slightly.
I think this feels like a trailer for a show/movie kinda thing, that sort of vibe and amount of content to it. It's most certainly interesting enough to make me want to read more, but on it's own as a product to buy and then have to wait for the next bit feels a fair bit bare bones in my opinion.

So in this graphic novel, we follow a group of young adults who are queer and marginalised during the satanic panic in the USA, and especially in a very religious and conservative little town. So when a murder happened the authorities create a moral panic saying satanic did it. And the group of fitness are the perfect ones to blame.
I really really really like it. I love queer horror stories. Like horror is queer for me, and we need way more queer horror stories. The drawings are great, and the group of friends is superbe. Like we can see how much they care for each others, they always have each others back, and are here for each others. The horror was pretty good too. And I really wanted to know, how they would survive this.
The thing that bothered me was the pacing. It felt weird at some point, but not bad either… I just hope we will have a sequel because this ending????
