I need more! I want more! Loved that we get to dive into El & Octavia and learn more about them. Carmen Maria Machado is a damn good author and I cant wait to read what else she has written!

I'd give this issue a 3.5 if I could.

In issue #2, we see the origin story of El and Vee’s friendship, which was a nice contrast to the fight they have at the end of the issue. We understand that Josh knows something more about what happened at the movie theatre, and we get a little peek into what life for teenagers is like in Shudder-to-Think. While this series isn’t my favourite, I found the background information that this issue provided made me more invested in El and Vee’s lives. I am more interested in what could happen to them regarding the mystery behind Shudder-to-Think. I think the artwork captured me a little more this time around and helps to set the atmosphere of the town.

Muito bom esse.
Você está distraído com o aspecto "sobrenatural" e de repente vem uma porrada digna dos livros da Carmen Maria Machado. Ainda acho a escolha da arte bem "who did this?", mas ao mesmo tempo ajuda a manter o foco na trama.

In part two of The Low, Low Woods we get more character development. We see how El and Octavia became friends. Their quest to find out the truth behind the missing time continues. The artwork is really growing on me. Loved the two duck dinner story and what's up with the magic mushrooms? I'm fully invested to find out more.
