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.

3.75 stars. finally, a creepy series to follow Locke & Key. yay for skinless boy/boyless skin spy/protector...thing. the watercolor illustrations are hauntingly beautiful in their southern gothic way. awesome extras at the end, especially start of novel that it was based on. can't wait to read next volume.

Hace un par de años, leí los primeros dos tomos sueltos de Harrow County y quedé enganchadísima. Incluso los recomendé en un video de mi canal y desde entonces me había propuesto leer el volumen completo pero por alguna razón u otra, simplemente no pasaba.
Finalmente lo hice y la verdad es que fue un agasajo. No sé si hayan escuchado el término gótico sureño, que se utiliza para hacer referencia a novelas con elementos góticos que ocurren en el deep south estadounidense, en lugares como Nueva Orleans... justo como lo que hace Anne Rice en su saga sobre brujas, para darles un ejemplo muy conocido.
Pues Harrow County es gótico sureño a tope. Todo inicia con la quema de una bruja y la posterior maldición que ella ha echado sobre el pueblo asegurando que, cuando menos lo esperen, resucitará. Así, las señales empiezan a volverse cada vez más claras y la gente del pueblo no puede ignorarlas.
Pero no les será tan fácil, porque la nueva bruja descubrirá sus poderes a tiempo para comenzar a defenderse.
Cadáveres sin piel, criaturas demoniacas y extraños rituales son algunas de las cosas que se esconden entre las páginas de este increíble cómic que los pondrá en el mood otoñal sin duda.

Disclaimer: I'm adding every book I read in 2016 to Goodreads in December. I think I read this one... sometime before summer or early in summer. May/June?
This was surprisingly good. A bit slow in parts, far from flashy, more character-driven but I prefer that. It was truly creepy, and the bits that didn't really make sense I was OK with because they seemed like openings to more parts of the story yet to come.
Much better than a few other Witch things that came out this year - this year and last seem to have been big on witches. I liked it enough to seek out and read the second volume.
