geekwayne 's review for:

5.0

'The Nice House on the Lake' by James Tynion IV with art by Alvaro Martinez is a graphic novel about a group of people all connected by a man named Walter.

Walter has been collecting friends for years. Everyone sees him as a little odd, especially with his game where he asks how the world should end. When he invites a select group of friends to his lake house for a week, the somewhat friends and acquaintances find that things aren't at all what they seem, and neither is Walter.

I didn't expect this story and I found it thrilling and compelling. The ephemera that accompanies the story in the form of transcripts and emails is a really nice touch to this strange story. The art sets a great mood and tone to the story.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from DC Entertainment and NetGalley. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
