As high quality as The Woods was, this is a fantastic start to what I hope will be an incredible series.

I got a lot of Buffy The Vampire Slayer vibes from this an that is a good thing, but it was also unique in its mystery and lore. 

The only downside for me was the creature design, which I found pretty generic.

This is one of my all-time favourite graphic novels, probably second only to Black Magick. If you like Wytches or Saga, this is definitely up your alley. Hard to say much more about it without giving anything away!

Important to note that the warning for homophobia is based on an interaction with side characters and is not a primary stance of the book, quite the opposite.

Essa amostra do primeiro capítulo do quadrinho foi muito interessante. Foi uma forma de fazer as pessoas terem vontade de ler o volume inteiro.
Valeu a pena.

I picked this up as a quick, casual read out of curiosity because I wasn't mad about the art style but was curious about the story and the comic. WOW am I glad I did!

I don't even want to explain much about the plot, just read it! If you enjoy dark, action filled comics with mystery of course, you need to pick this one up!

I did not think I would love this as much as I did! It was captivating and suspense filled. I was on the edge of my seat, flying through the pages, dying to know what happens next!

I cannot wait to read the next volume and see what happens next!
