Now, this issue starts off in a very unexpected way. It shows a man tied up to what looks like a dresser of some sort. We then see a female, and she is holding a knife in her hand. She then the guy’s tiny model of London’s Westminster Abbey, and mentions that she loves an iconic ending. 

Now, before she can end him, the police show up and arrest her. She asks one of the reporters to come and talk to her about what happened. She goes and talks about what happened to her in 1953 Hartford, Connecticut. Her family had invited the new reverend of their church to dinner. The parents then have a conversation about the events of the night before, and it’s interesting to see the dynamic of that conversation. 

We then see our main character with her dad in the car, and then she sees his dead body, and the reverend putting the gun in her dad’s hand. We then cut to all of these different moments, her dad’s funeral being one. Then we see her and her twin sisters watching Elvis on the tv, before the reverend unplugs it. 

In another scene, it’s Halloween, and the twins are able to go out and Trick Or Treat, but our main character can’t because she’s dressed up as a witch. We then see something that foreshadows what almost happened to the man at the beginning of the issue. She gets hit with the model Westminster Abbey. Her mother then comes home, and she immediately says the reverend hits her. 

After the cop leaves, out main characters packs a suitcase, and ends up leaving and going on a road trip around the world. Once she gets to Eastern Europe, she ends up joining a circus. The last scene shows her with the reporter, about to tell him more of the story. 

Overall Grade: 10/10

This comic, going in, was not what I was expecting at all. But after reading this first issue, I’m sold on this book. For fans of Ghost/Metal Music, this is for you. For fans of Horror comics, this is also for you. And for fans of really good stories, this is something you will want to check out. Dark Horse has another fantastic series on their hands.
