Coffin Hill Vol. 1: Forest of the Night by Caitlin Kittredge, Inaki Miranda
3.0
Only slightly creepy, but very cool looking comic with an annoyingly convoluted plot.
Witches, crazy rituals, possible child abduction, murder, a forest that maybe kills people, or at least transforms them (this part oddly reminded me of a movie I watched only yesterday).
Several timelines that do not exactly dovetail nicely. Transition from one scene to another and between the timelines could and probably should have been done better. Several strands of the plot don't go anywhere. They're just left dangling. In short, it's quite hard to follow.
Good artwork, though, and a very cool style. Some of the page layouts are very pretty and inventive at times. And I think the main character is kinda cool.
I hear that the second volume fills in a lot of the gaps. So I think I'll continue with this one before I've forgotten what little I could piece together of the plot.
The ending didn't make much sense to me. But we'll see where this goes.
This was a buddy-read with Cathy, who was a little more annoyed by the plot holes than I was. So I will have to read the second one alone.
