So, so, so dark. And wonderful. The legacy a witch leaves behind - and how the prodigy wants to forge her own path... Creepy skinless boy, but a great companion to have.
Amazing watercolors - especially with the grave haints (orange, yellow, red).

There were parts that I really loved and parts that were "meh" for me in this 16 issue omnibus. I liked the characters and especially liked Emmy and after the latest story arc I want to continue on to the 2nd Omnibus.

Cool world and rich horror that feels like it will go well beyond some of its more basic starting blocks in the volumes to come.

Another pick by Bre for our RealmofComics book club that did not disappoint! It was gruesome, yet intriguing and fun!
Harrow County isn't a comic that I would have picked up on my own so I'm excited that Bre made the decision to pick this title. While this isn't for the faint of heart, this one definitely explores some pretty interesting elements/conversations like nature versus nurture, friendships, racial tensions, good versus evil, power, arrogance, and more. Some parts of the story aren't told in a linear fashion, but I appreciated that we were given multiple perspectives outside of Emmy. If you do make the decision to pick this one up, make sure that you have the second omni on standby because you're going to want answers. The artwork in this is also stunning and truly fits the horror/gothic vibes of the story. I definitely understand why this was nominated for an Eisner and I'm excited to pick up the next and final omni in the series.

Done nicely enough, but I couldn't really bring myself to care about the story.
