czamorad 's review for:
The Nice House on the Lake Vol. 1
by James Tynion IV
It's been a while since I liked this much a comic book series (or maxi-series in this case). It's still halfway from the ending, but it's been quite a ride so far. There's so much detail into the building of each character. I'd dare saying the portrayals are flawless, from the little kinks that make them human, to the symbol everyone's attached to.
Horror is not an easy genre to translate into a comic book, but this series exceeds by far in its goal. The uncomfortable calmness, and the boiling tension that grows all over the place just feel so real.
I'll wait for the series to be over to get into the second half. And I can't wait.
EDIT: This is the second time I’m reading this book. Now I’ll get to finish it with the second volume and I wanted to have all the concepts and ideas fresh to keep going. All I’ll say about this first set is that it is absolutely solid. Some of the best comic books books I’ve read in a while, and I do read a lot.
