A kick ass heroine and a great read.
Genre: horror/mystery comic
A series of unsolved murders along the nations highways lead our MCs into the clutches of a dark cult.
I don't usually read horror comics, but I was interested in the cult aspect and a tough female lead. But probably not the best choice right before going on a road trip. 😜😆
Overall, a descent read, though a bit more gruesome than I would prefer.
Quinton Skinner's not a bad character but, to me, Sharon is just a better character because she's better developed and has more pathos to her than Quinton does. The artwork by Brent Schoonover is just gorgeous to look at. I love that this story takes place in the snow. It really adds to the eeriness of the story. You can feel the isolation and the tension that the characters are feeling in Mr.Schoonover's artwork.
And Nick Filardi's coloring is fantastic. He manages to make the story have a pulpy feel to it. The story veers back and forth between a horror story, a pulp noir story, and a grind house story like Hostel. It's not disorienting one bit when reading the story because Benjamin Percy is a fantastic writer and knows how to build a scene.
I don't want to give away any spoilers here because this story really needs to be read to be appreciated. But there are jump scares galore in this and some pretty graphic occult stuff too. Mr.Percy really did his research for this story and, just like with Stephen King, the genesis of this story was based off of a real life incident that Mr.Percy had with a truck driver late at night twenty years prior to the story being published. The best horror stories are always the ones that are based off of the author's fears and this story does not disappoint.
And even though it takes place at Christmas, this is still a great spooky read that can be read and enjoyed on Halloween as well.

The artwork is from the Gibbons school, which ticks all the boxes for me. I want more.
