Severed

Recommended at a comic shop because I like all things horror, and I'd read literally nearly everything else the proprietor mentioned.

So, not bad. I enjoyed the creep and some of the characters and the time period. The historical elements were probably one of my favorite parts. The twist, though, the bloody twist. Once again, another thriller with a bloody conveniently annoying twist. It was going decently well until then. Sigh.

But the art is quite lovely and dark.

First of all, the art was amazing. I really loved Futaki's work in this, especially in the scene with Jack and Sam sitting on the metal bars of the construction site, with the city skyline in the background. It was gorgeous! Overall, I thought it was a good read, but I didn't find it scary enough. Maybe I'm being too picky after reading Locke & Key, but this one definitely wasn't as good as that series. I appreciated the ending, though, it was definitely very creepy!
