I don't remember how I heard about this comic series/graphic novel. I probably stumbled over it online at some point and thought the title sounded cool.
The first volume makes for a decently engaging introduction. The premise gives me strong Netflix show vibes in a way. A little bit of a Stranger Things feeling with a potential monster-of-the-week aspect. The story plays with a lot of tropes, I think. The small American town... the mysterious danger... the sad kid that wants to redeem himself... the mysterious organization...
If one is in the mood for that sort of story, all of that makes for some good light entertainment and the art is very good. But I don't know if this will be something I'll remember for very long after I'm done. I am down to see where this goes though.
