A beautiful and gripping graphic following a town taken over by witches in swampy South Florida. I loved the illustrations but be warned they are graphic (aka started reading this on a plane and was not expecting the naked blood sacrifice and shocked the person behind me). Recommend for anyone looking for my comics by women and for people into gory witch stories!

Starts with a violent bang and slowly flickers to life. The coloring is gorgeous and the art fitting for the tone—sharp and expressive. But a lot of themes are thrown around with questionable applicability.

I'm surprised this has received such a mixed reception from other readers. I thought it was a solid entry into Image's lineup of horror comics with a strong story and great art. If there is one criticism I have, it would be that the story - at least in this first volume - doesn't have much depth.

I think that most of the other criticisms others have lobbied are unfounded ("The message is too heavy-handed." / "I didn't understand what the book was about." / "The story is confusing.") and probably lazy reading and unwillingness to engage with material that doesn't instantly match what was expected.

A brand-new horror book from the minds of Eisner Award-winner JORDIE BELLAIRE (PRETTY DEADLY, Vision, Batman) and critically acclaimed artist VANESA R. DEL REY (ZERO, Scarlet Witch, Constantine) brings you to the sleepy, sunny town of Redlands, Florida. The police are failing to maintain control of their old-fashioned town, and a coven of killer witches plan to take everything from them. This summer, hide your bibles.
