Awesome horror comic with a kick-a** female protagonist

Awesome horror comic with a kick-a** female protagonist
I really like James Tynion's DC work, and thought his other stuff (like Backstagers) was pretty good. This one...this one blows all of his past work out of the water. It's a little Tim Seeley's Imaginary Fiends and Hack/Slash, a little Scott Westerfeld's Spill Zone, and a little Stephen King's IT, and yet it's still uniquely spooky. I like my horror comics to have some mystery...I don't want to waste precious panels on text explaining all the details of the monsters or monster fighters. Things are much scarier when you leave them up to your imagination, which is exactly what Tynion does with this. It's gruesome and brutal, but not gratuitously so. I immediately loved Erica Slaughter, who also embodies another of my favorite and more atypical horror comic attributes; a female protagonist who knows what's going on and doesn't run around screaming in disbelief for half the book. She gets sh*t done. The book ends at a good spot - the world is built out but not fully revealed - and I can't wait to read the next volume.

El cómic es genial. La edición en inglés es perfecta para la colección y a un precio inmejorable, la calidad del papel es muy buena y los colores son vividos. Por mi parte, la edición que me llegó tenía un pequeño daño que pasa desapercibido, pero que si tienes mucha manía podrias no dejar de verlo. Le recomiendo a Amazon que maneje de mejor forma los paquetes que envía, ya me llego sin plástico protector y sólo con bolsas de aire dentro de la caja para protegerlo de movimientos bruscos en el transporte.

I've only read about half of this comic book but after being recommended it by Amazon and having a look at the preview I'm really happy I took the plunge and ordered a copy! For less than £8 delivered to your door you can't complain.

The artwork is great and the story seems like such a mystery at the start that as soon as opening the first page I had to force myself to put it down halfway and actually do some adulting.

Interesting characters and a monster plot have me hooked already!
