I get why some would compare it to the wicker man, or others, but it stills had its own identity. I loved the graphics, the ambiance, maybe a bit predictable on the end, but still a well written story
It was actually gifted to me last year, i'm glad i finally read it

Around halfway through I thought this was going to be 5 stars - and then the end happened.
The back half was chaotic in a bad way, swapping the intrigue and creep factor from the start for straight up mess. It's a very "wait how and why did the characters end up here?" (the explanation for this was very illogical) and "why are the characters behaving in this way?" (no explanation given whatsoever).
I especially could stand how it ends. I think it was trying to go for shock factor instead of an actually compelling narrative.
My CAWPILE input gives this a 3, but it is only saved by that great first half. I could have just as easily given this a 2. So disappointed.

Very good folk horror comic. Not as good as The Wicker Man (the original) and miles better than Midsommar. Definitely recommended to read during this time of year.
