Essa amostra do primeiro capítulo do quadrinho foi muito interessante. Foi uma forma de fazer as pessoas terem vontade de ler o volume inteiro.
Valeu a pena.

Really great mystery so far, I enjoy the art style a lot. Even in still frames there's a sense of motion. This story got me to say "what the fuck!" out loud multiple times. I'm intrigued by basically everything. The grief was palpable, everyone is acting in a fucked up way but you get it because this entire town is going through a mass trauma together. Every character in this story is broken in some way.

I don't usually read very fast, but I read this during basically all of my very little free time. 

I think it probably goes without saying because of the title, but to be clear: this is about children being slaughtered. It is shown in graphic detail. If you can't handle seeing a half-alive dismembered child, which is super understandable, then this story is not for you. It's not that it's as realistic as a movie, that's obviously not possible. It's just really, really gruesome. I have a strong stomach and I had a hard time with this, but it was worth it.

Interesting idea, but not really good yet. Will give at least the next volume a try as well.

Gory and mysterious, an excellent graphic novel for adults. Gave me big Stranger Things-meets-Buffy the Vampire Slayer vibes and I absolutely loved it. The art is fantastic and I can’t  wait to continue the series. A nice quick read for Halloween that ended on a cliffhanger.

What a solid first volume. 
Set the foundations for an interesting concept. 
I like the art style and the storyline so far has me keen to pick up the next volume.
