This has the potential to be a new fav horror comic ! This was a good intro and tease at what’s to come. It’s dark, gritty and captures the horror of small town America under crisis with a touch of gore and interesting creature design

Wow wow wow this was great. Right away I just have to say that the illustrations were fantastic. Gory and detailed but fantastic. I’d get transfixed just staring at some of the pages because of how detailed and captivating the drawings were.
The story itself is great so far too. I really enjoy the premise and the originality of the idea.
Very excited to read the next three volumes:)
