2021Really enjoyed this one upon re-read. I don't know why I didn't keep reading this series, but I'm definitely kicking myself for that. This was cool as hell. I've read quite a few horror comics since I originally picked this one up, and this is a pretty interesting volume 1. 20153.5 starsMaybe I just don't read enough horror/serial killer stuff, but I seem to like this one a lot better than most of my friends. And that may be because I don't like scary serial killer stories, and (they're rig...

Okay, this is horror. And I did actually read it, yes. . . I picked it up on a whim just as I was leaving the graphic novels/comics section of my library, and sat down and read it through. I am not a huge horror fan, but I am reading a bit more into it every year. But I was not a fan of Williamson's Ghosted, and I'm not a huge fan of this. The art by Mike Henderson is well done. The story is outlandish, set in a town of serial killers, where an NSA agent decides to enlist a serial killer to find...

Buckaroo, Oregon has given rise to sixteen known serial killers, all just as creepy as the other. This has given the town a bad reputation, but no one truly knows how so many murderers come from such a small place, so Detective Eliot Carroll assigns himself to figure it all out. He then makes a call to his friend, Officer Nicholas Finch, to come find him, since he trust his friend has the skills to completely solve the mystery, however when the cop arrives into town he discovers Carroll is missi...

(A-) 81% | Very GoodNotes: A juicy entrée, it plays with clichés, not overly gory, it's enough for the story, with characters all deep shades of grey.

4.5 stars, this was excellent. I had no idea what to expect from this. No prior research at all. I would compare this comic to watching that film Scream for the first time, but without the spoof. Creepy, original, suspense,horror and constantly trying to guess who the killer is. So it's called nail biter because the first issue centres around a serial killer who captured 42 separate victims on separate occasions, chewed their nails off their hands and killed them. He only chose victims that chew...

Read this in a sitting. Williamson is quickly becoming a favourite of mine. Its like seven saw mixed with twin peaks/xfiles minus thr aliens. Great storytelling and some cool gory artwork. Highly recommend this one!!

Three years ago, Eliot Carroll arrested the alleged serial killer Edward Charles “Nailbiter” Warren, so-called because he chews the nails and fingers off of his victims before murdering them. In the present, Carroll believes he’s found the secret behind the many serial killers - the last being Warren - that the fictional town of Buckaroo, Oregon, seems to produce. And then he disappears. It’s up to his friend Nicholas Finch and the local sheriff Shannon Crane to find Carroll before the latest of...

Find all of my reviews at: http://52bookminimum.blogspot.com/ “Warren’s modus operandi was to kidnap innocent men and women who had the habit of chewing their fingernails. Warren would keep them captive until his victim’s nails grew back, and then chew their fingers down to the bone before ultimately killing them.” First reaction? YES PLEASE! I also have some experience with one of these “nailbiters” and figured I could relate to this story on a deeper level. Advice to anyone else struggli...

Remarkably dull. No tension, no uneasiness, no horror. To be fair, I'm not that interested in serial killers to begin with, but the way they're made into semi supervillains in this book is idiotic. The costumes the various serial killers wear are laughable.The art is bad - everyone has huge, slab-like faces, a town full of Robert Z'Dars.

2 StarsMeh...Okay this was disappointing. The premise is quite interesting and intriguing. There's a small town called Buckaroo, a town where 16 serial killers have been borned and raised. There's an NSA agent obsessed with this town and its mystery: Why does this town produce such fucked up people? Is it coincidence or it's something else happening there?Yeah, I pretty much liked the idea of this, but the execution? Not so much.We follow two of the most boring characters out there... add to tha...

Buckaroo is a strange little town. Sixteen of the world's worst serial killers were born and raised in this small town in Oregon. The latest of them, Edward „Nailbiter“ Warren, still resides there, because for some reason a jury decided he wasn’t guilty.What a nice place to go and visit a friend.And that’s exactly what NSA Agent Nicholas Finch does. Because he‘s got a call from his old friend Carroll who’s obsessed with the Nailbiter and the whole history of Buckaroo and of the (legitimate) ques...

3.75* so, yeah, um... this was so completely and utterly messed up. it was gruesome, gory, disturbing, definitely something I shouldn't have started reading alone at 2am but with that being said, I could not stop reading. It was horrifyingly addictive and 50% of me never wants to read it again and the other 50% knows there's no way I'm going to be able to stop reading this series now. I need to know what's going on!!! Definitely not something for people who are sensitive to graphic violence and

Buckaroo: Home of Serial KillersThe premise sounds interesting enough, one of the characters sums it up like this:"Sixteen of the world's worst serial killers were all born and raised right here in Buckaroo, Oregon. The last, of course, being the infamous Edward 'The Nailbiter' Warren. If it's a curse, a coincidence, or an act of the devil himself, it is not for us to know..."Unfortunately, the execution is sloppy: the character design feels forced, the dialogue stagy, the plot formulaic.In addi...

Serial killers and a small town mystery = Darien is really loving this.This had me from the very first page. Let me set the mood: cops burst into a decimated home there’s a guy sorrounded by bodies and bones, covered in blood and chewing on a hand. Amazing!!!

Bullet Review:For a book that "tantalized" with the most gruesome picture of a man biting off this own fingers, well, it wasn't nearly as gory inside. Meaning, yes, it was still gory but at least I could open my eyes for most of the panels.Carroll has become obsessed with the 16 serial killers of Buckaroo, OR; he's found the answer and tells fellow agent, Finch, to come to him. In classic thriller fashion, Carroll goes missing and Finch must have the local police led by Crane give him a hand.Thi...

Who would have thought I'd thoroughly enjoy a graphic novel about a serial killer who murder people who bite nails? What kind of person am I. LOL.Say whatever it is that you want to say about my reading choices, but I really enjoyed this! Why? Becauseeee… I'm into serial killers. Oookaay. That didn't sound right, so let me correct myself. I'm into serial killer stories. Yes. That's what I meant.These type of stories intrigue me. They get me curious. Fiction or non-fiction, these never fail to tr...

Joshua Williamson definitely has the horror comic market cornered. An NSA agent comes to Buckaroo, OR to save a friend who's discovered the secret of why this small town has birthed 16 different serial killers. Once there he teams up with the local sheriff to find out what has happened to his friend. Think Twin Peaks meets Helter Skelter. I really enjoyed this book and Mike Henderson provides great moody art within.

Interesting story. I'm intrigued by the possibilities. The art was fine. Doesn't stand out but wasn't bad. Interesting start.

More from the Humble Bundle; the gift that keeps on giving...even if you didn't ask for some of them.OK so Nailbiter almost lost me in the first few pages because it was just gross, and the kinda eww like papercuts in the spaces between your fingers and toes (EEEEEEE I'm squirming). I swallowed and pushed on through, and got into the story.As others of my GR friends had commented already, this book owes much to the Silence of the Lambs and Scream...one is a masterful character study/thriller, th...
