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.

Notes: 
 ● I am loving how the author is showing "flashbacks" from the past at times that it's good for the reader to see them. I'm also enjoying the colour pallet changing between time settings to indicate a change. 
 ● left me with a cliff hanger that has me desperate for more 

Positives:
 ● Art is well done 
 ● interesting story
 ● flashbacks at relevant moments  
 ● has me guessing 

Negatives:
 ● too few place and date banners used

I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book Netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This was so good. I'm obsessed. I want the next book already!

We have a a horror graphic novel with a serial killer playing with a bunch of doctors.

Our main character seems to have childhood trauma relating to the serial killer as well as his grandparents. 

I have so many questions and I just want to keep reading.

Only downside for me was the art style made it a little hard for me to tell the different between some characters but I figured it out.
