2.0

 Cullen Bunn's works tend to be a bit hit-and-miss for me, and sadly, this one was a miss. It felt like I was getting the middle of a story that was missing the beginning and never effectively worked its way back to explain what was happening, or why. I did get a bit more interested in the backstory by the end of this volume, but it ended so abruptly that my interest fizzled out and I probably won't continue the series.

Thank you to the publisher for the review copy! All thoughts are honest and my own.

Absolutely disgusting, I loved it. The art is indescribable but it felt as if I was really there. So much story was told in so little pages, it's impressive. I caught myself saying "ew" so many times in this comic. That's a really good thing for horror! It's a type of horror I don't find myself reading a lot of because it can get overwhelming quickly. This story had a good balance between gross and interesting.

I do wish the switching between the time the story takes place and the past was done with a little more grace, but other than that, this is an amazing story and I can't wait to see more of it.
