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.amandesite's review against another edition

I got the comic brainworm and subbed to comixology because they have a 30 day free trial and I’m cheap. I used to read a lot of superhero comics when I was younger, but now I’m a depressed adult so this was a great series to start with. The art and story are fantastic, and has mastered the horror and suspense of a page turn. If you’re reading this on some sort of device like I am (yay iPad), I highly recommend using cinematic mode. Although part of me is still a comic purist and I was to see the layout of the frames and everything, cinematic mode makes things WAY spookier. Starting volume 2 now :)

This installment got me hooked on the start of this series. I find the topic matter heavy, but interesting, and it ties in some “real world” issues into this more fantasy world. Not a lot of exposition or growth yet, it’s just the first book in the installment and it’s doing more world building than development, but I enjoy it regardless.
