A review by bookishrealm
Harrow County Omnibus Volume 1 by Cullen Bunn
4.0
Another pick by Bre for our RealmofComics book club that did not disappoint! It was gruesome, yet intriguing and fun!
Harrow County isn't a comic that I would have picked up on my own so I'm excited that Bre made the decision to pick this title. While this isn't for the faint of heart, this one definitely explores some pretty interesting elements/conversations like nature versus nurture, friendships, racial tensions, good versus evil, power, arrogance, and more. Some parts of the story aren't told in a linear fashion, but I appreciated that we were given multiple perspectives outside of Emmy. If you do make the decision to pick this one up, make sure that you have the second omni on standby because you're going to want answers. The artwork in this is also stunning and truly fits the horror/gothic vibes of the story. I definitely understand why this was nominated for an Eisner and I'm excited to pick up the next and final omni in the series.
