samsterrr 's review for:
Wytches, Volume 1
by Scott Snyder
Oh man. 4.5-4.75 for sure. This is a creepy, atmospheric, and oddly touching story about being a parent, anxiety disorders, and disturbing creatures that boil and eat children. And it is just so. freaking. good.
This TP is excellent, featuring the letters from Scott Snyder about his inspiration for the comic at the end. The writing is solid, the characters are vibrant, but the stand-out for this series is the coloring. The weird watercolor-stained overlay on the pages brings an entirely new level of creep factor and dread to the story, and it is just EXCELLENT and wondrous. Ugh. Loved it.
Other than Saga, of which this comic shares a few themes, this might be my new favorite series. WHEN DOES #7 COME OUT, PLEASE?!
My only issue is that this book is just a bit too graphic for me to start putting into the hands of my teens right away, EVEN THOUGH I REALLY WANT TO. I feel like the next arc might appeal to them a bit more, though.
RA notes: adult content (graphic language- including the c word ugh, nudity- of the old lady variety hello Shining), graphic violence, issues of addiction, anxiety disorders, bullying, family relationships- especially being a parent, really cool art work, creepy, fast-paced, distinct setting, etc. YES>
