Read as the six issues released monthly.
It’s hard to judge “Nightmare Country” at this stage. Despite being six issues into the series, past the conclusion of its first arc, it’s difficult to really know what the story’s about. This first arc acts entirely as setup for future stories rather than as a satisfying story in its own right. Now, to be fair, there’s nothing wrong with that. And the story Tynion sets up in these first six issues is immediately captivating, filled with the kind of mystique that could easily drive a series for a few years.
But on the flip side, this arc doesn’t really deliver what it claims to. These issues aren’t a “travelogue”, really. And the Corinthian only really impacts the story towards its conclusion. But the mystery at the heart of things is an immensely engaging one. And Tynion does a good enough job at setting up all the various players, from humans to Nightmares and to other beings supernatural, celestial, and otherwise, that it’s easy to just surrender yourself to the journey and follow him down whatever roads he takes the series down.
