Essa amostra do primeiro capítulo do quadrinho foi muito interessante. Foi uma forma de fazer as pessoas terem vontade de ler o volume inteiro.
Valeu a pena.

Really great mystery so far, I enjoy the art style a lot. Even in still frames there's a sense of motion. This story got me to say "what the fuck!" out loud multiple times. I'm intrigued by basically everything. The grief was palpable, everyone is acting in a fucked up way but you get it because this entire town is going through a mass trauma together. Every character in this story is broken in some way.

I don't usually read very fast, but I read this during basically all of my very little free time.

I think it probably goes without saying because of the title, but to be clear: this is about children being slaughtered. It is shown in graphic detail. If you can't handle seeing a half-alive dismembered child, which is super understandable, then this story is not for you. It's not that it's as realistic as a movie, that's obviously not possible. It's just really, really gruesome. I have a strong stomach and I had a hard time with this, but it was worth it.

I picked this up as a quick, casual read out of curiosity because I wasn't mad about the art style but was curious about the story and the comic. WOW am I glad I did!

I don't even want to explain much about the plot, just read it! If you enjoy dark, action filled comics with mystery of course, you need to pick this one up!

I did not think I would love this as much as I did! It was captivating and suspense filled. I was on the edge of my seat, flying through the pages, dying to know what happens next!

I cannot wait to read the next volume and see what happens next!
