This was a very, very fun read for me. The first thing I did was recommend it to my friends in the lovingly nicknamed body horror/supernatural/human experimentation fandom. I think it would be right up their alley. No cults, which is fair, but a fair amount of gripping terror! 10/10 would read again! Would recommend to my boss! To my friends! To my coworkers! To my cat, if I had one!
The released version I read doesn't have this cover, but eh. I like the published one better. Less strain on the eyes.

I guess this might just be a product of it being a comic that'll release in bits, but it was really short and a bit confusing overall. It's a very good setup with great characters, but it ended right as it started to go into the story after the setup so I don't really have much to review in all honesty.
A group of queer teens are just trying to live life through severe homophobia and transphobia while a missing person has turned up dead. Evading having the crime pinned on them, the teens must try and survive in a world that might literally become hell.
I really can't say too much about this, the bigory is quite explicit throughout and while I imagine it is a setup, the background to why at least one of them keeps actively seeking it out isn't explained at all. Pretty much *nothing* is explained even slightly.
I think this feels like a trailer for a show/movie kinda thing, that sort of vibe and amount of content to it. It's most certainly interesting enough to make me want to read more, but on it's own as a product to buy and then have to wait for the next bit feels a fair bit bare bones in my opinion.
