Bought the second omnibus after the first arc of the first omni. A masterful use of narrative for a horror series, fast action, great twists and plot points but a very very satisfying ending. Best thing I've read so far this year.

Fantastically spooky! I love the world Bunn and Crook are building, its country ghost stories spooky set in a modern-but-not time. I liked this mysterious introduction but it feels a little disjointed. This story really wants to surprise you in the middle and Emmy is rightly terrified through this, but then it totally flips and she's a badass all of a sudden. It's not bad, it's just strange. Regardless I loved this book and am all in for the rest of the series! (I have an overwhelming fondness for creepy magic in a modern-y world). Highly recommended for fans of Snyder's Wytches, Hellboy, and/or lovecraftian things.

Glad to see my library has this series, it's very atmospheric with Southern Gothic vibes. I'm intrigued enough to continue!

Small town, rural family with girl about to turn 18. She is haunted by a tree, turns out the tree is where the town burned a witch back in the day. Huh, wonder what that means. So this part of the plot was pretty thin, and as often happens in horror comics, as a reader, you just accept it in order to get to the rest of the story.
It's otherwise a pretty fun start to a series. The haints are great, and I really like the art style (although the human faces can be a bit...weird). The character is yet to be fleshed out, but seems pretty standard young woman protag. I'm still in it for the haints and supernatural horror elements, which are pretty cool so far.

This comic gets less and less enjoyable as I read it, and I guess that's kinda the way with this sort of story. When a character has ultimate power, there are only so many ways to kneecap her before she realizes she has ultimate power. The last bit of this book goes way out there. It almost pulls it off, but it has me worried for the rest of the story.
I generally like the art, the haints are great, lots of cool designs. The humans however, all have weird, huge faces. The scenery is pretty well done and detailed.
Art- 4 stars
Story- starts at 3.5, goes downhill.
Overall, it's fine.

2.5.
It was fine. The art was fine, some of it was great, a lot of it was good, some of it started getting very repetitive, and why are their eyes so far apart? The story too started getting repetitive.
I've never really been a big fan of overpowered characters, and the main character here was not particularly interesting to me. She was boring good guy with not much personality and godlike power. Her ending was fine, it was at the best possible ending I suppose.
I guess overall it really was just fine. I didn't hate it, but it didn't blow me away the way I thought it would. I think had I read this serially, the repetitive art and storylines would not have been nearly as annoying.

Why, when she figures out that she is the reincarnation of a previous witch, who had been killed and consumed by Hester, does she then think that if she kills her "sister", she has to eat her to make sure she stays dead. She didn't stay dead. In fact no one stays dead. They all just keep being reborn and eating each other and killing each other and it was all kinda...repetitive.I've never really been a big fan of overpowered characters, and the main character here was not particularly interesting to me.
