The art is beautiful, the story is interesting, the dialogue is super clunky and trips everything up.

Horror-themed amusement park staffed by actual horrors. Run by the (a?) devil. What's up his sleeve? Why does he treat his employees so terribly? Was that demon always a demon? These questions and more remain unanswered! (But there is a second book, so I guess we'll maybe find out.)

Anyway, that's 64, I'm taking a nap.

Les enfants étant devenus accros au film j'ai eu envie de me refaire les albums dans l'ordre et surtout sans pause dans l'enchainement. Quel plaisir !!!

Aurélien Zanher est embauché après avoir été percuté par une voiture. Les dirigeants du parc hésitant à le transformer en loup-garou ou en vampire, il va finalement prendre la forme d’un gigantesque démon rouge qui mute lorsqu’il est en colère.


Il va, sans le vouloir, rendre les zombies jaloux de son succès et ceux-ci vont tenter de se débarrasser de lui.

Heureusement, il peut compter sur Gretchen, une mystérieuse stagiaire sorcière, pour veiller sur lui.

L’image est très belle, je suis particulièrement fan des très jolies couleurs. En revanche, le scénario ne m’a pas emballé malgré une histoire de départ assez originale et des personnages assez attachants.

The artwork is good, the story line is okay, but very under developed and rushed. I feel like another 10- 20 pages would have given this that little something that was missing. Just because this is a graphic novel doesn't mean the story has to suffer or be so clipped that it feels incomplete, which for me this felt incomplete as a lead in to the next volume. I hope this will get better in that respect because I think I could really enjoy a little more fleshed out version of this story/concept.
