Home Sick Pilots is a horror/sci-fi series by Dan Watters and Caspar Wijngaard.
Summer 1994 — Ami, Buzz, and Rip are three teenagers that make up the punk band Home Sick Pilots, and they are all foster kids. Their rival band is The Nuclear Bastards. And then there’s the Old James House, a haunted house that apparently kills people.
When Ami ventures into the house, her friends can’t seem to find her. And the adventure continues from there.
I really enjoyed the premise of the story and the art is fantastic. It was strange but in the best way. I wasn’t expecting the government involvement aspect, so I’m curious where they will take that part of the story in the next volume. I also hope to get more of Ami’s back story that they kept alluding to.
CW: suicide/self harm, substance use, blood/gore

I usually prefer to read fiction with as little knowledge of the plot as possible. So, misguided by the title, I thought this comic would be about pilots and for some reason, there would be time travel? My mind works in mysterious ways. Anyway, the story appears to be less creative (I wasn't very much enticed by the 'ghostly-mechs' idea) and more horror-inclined, but it wasn't too bad overall. I'll have to wait for the second volume to decide if it's worth my time. I'm especially intrigued by the 'ghostbusters' team that showed up last minute, and that seems to be the one that will push the whole story through.

This is an awesome story with awesome illustrations to accompany it. However, the character development and plot both seemed a bit too rushed for my liking. Still, I’m excited for what comes next!
