Comments: “The Butterfly Field” This is one weird story with disturbing art. The lesson here is even butterflies can be deadly. The story is not so much a story as it is following along as things happen. There are no words in this story.
“Something is Killing the Children: A Monster Hunter Walks into a Bar, Part Three” The townsfolk are sitting around in a bar trying to come up with what is killing the children as Erica Slaughter listens. They think it could be anything from wolves to aliens. Erica knows what it is. She knows what happens to the children as they are dragged into the woods and she knows what is causing it.
“Shutter” Ellie and Winter are going RV camping. A snapshot changes the lives of these two women just not that much. Ellie has started changing the art and story though do not rxplain anything about it. It is unnerving the way Ellie is looking at it. It would be nice to have an idea of what is going on.
“I Can’t Take You Anywhere” This is one page with three panels that stand alone. The first two do not make any sense. The third one does by why have it here? What is the point?
“The Search” A young lost her brother and while looking for him she discovered something else. A creature lives in the woods and it is not her brother. Nice simple art to go with a straightforward story.
“The War, Part Five” A man and wom,an and a child are staying in a house. The man is thinking about their situation and how he does not know the effects of the war on theThenhan the war comes to them.
The woman is traumatized from her ordeal and the man is just doing the best he can.
This collection of disturbing tales will make you wary.
