It’s funny how certain artwork clicked on you depending what you’re reading. But don’t take me wrong, this storyline certainly has enough original elements to stand out as a different product. Also, the covert art and selected font on it provokes you to remind yourself about the mentioned movie. Scott Snyder (the writer) crafted a creepy good tale, where it’s unavoidable (at least for me) that it was like taking over where The Blair Witch’s Project was left, especially since besides the film, I was able to read (in April 2015) the tie-in comic book (by Jen Van Meter) so when I saw the house in this story, I felt like a déjà vu. I met several positive reviews around about this title, so I thought that it could be good to give it a chance, and I am glad that I did it. This collected edition contains the comic book title “Wytches” #1 to #6. However, I'm solidly on the fence about continuing.Ĭreepy good but still too many to develop. If you're more of a horror fan than I am, you may think this is perfect. I'm sorry, but I thought they were kind of lame. But if this is going to be self-contained stories about these Wytches, then.no.

Or maybe not? I mean, if the next volume continues with Sailor's story, then.yes. The ending was good enough to make me want to possibly read more. We're told she has them and that they're crippling for her, but I never actually saw anything that would lead me to believe she was anything other than a normal teenage girl with normal amounts of teenage girl insecurities. What didn't feel quite as real to me was Sailor's anxiety issues. Very well done! I felt a real father-daughter thing from those two, even (and maybe especially) with all the ugly parts added in.

I really did like the parts with Sailor and her father. And it's not the what it's the why and how that make up the story, at any rate. That's not a spoiler - that shit happens on the first page. Snyder's wytches were gross humanoid things that sucked people into trees and ate them. I was expecting something different, but I guess that's not the comic's fault. And it kinda made me feel like I'd been catfished. The Wytches were a lot less witchy and a lot more Monster-y than I had imagined. I thought this was going to be my favorite thing in the box, but once I read it, I felt sorta deflated. In fact, out of all the cool stuff they sent me, this was the first thing I read. Wytches was another comic my spooky friend sent me in a Halloween Horror gift basket.Īnd I have to say, I was pretty excited when I saw it because it was one that I had been dying to read for quite some time now.
