feels a bit hard inspired by the dream warriors movie but nonetheless the kids were scary drawn and the Art itself was good. sadly it ended too abrupt

As someone who used to love the Nightmare films, this was so up my alley. I really liked how they didn't follow the same old story of Nancy and her friends, but rather I saw similarities between these two issues and the third movie: Dream Warriors. We have different characters other than Freddy Kreuger but it somehow worked out well. The biggest thing I really liked was more on Freddy's and Amanda's backstory. Their backstory is slightly shown within the later installments of Nightmare; however, I truly do not find much cannon to the original story as it really does not make sense as a whole.
One big thing within the whole series that I had an issue with that these comics truly fixed in their cannon world: was Freddy human--and if he was: was he born evil? In these issues, Freddy as an infant has violence drawn to him. He was kidnapped from a good family and placed under the home of a pimp and his prostitute--a very abusive and sexualized situation. The reason why I bring up sexuality is that Freddy, even in these issues, makes many sexual comments to his victims. It also was suggested that he loved his murdered victims (who were children).
I think this story was unique in a way. It didn't follow the same plotline of one of the movies as the remake did, but rather added another character around movie 3 or 4 (probably) without bringing mention of those children.
