2 I-feel-entirely-meh StarsWytches is a graphic novel with some very interesting concepts which never actualize to a cohesive story for me. In my opinion, it is trying to be too many things at once and just missing the mark of effectiveness at all of them. On the surface is a story about a teenage girl who has experienced some pretty serious trauma before moving to a new school, her schoolyard bully is killed in a very bizarre way and she feels like her desire for same bully to just go away has

OK, so this was my first comic. Or is it a graphic novel (then it would have been #2)? Who cares?! Right now I can't spare even a tiny bit of my brain to ponder that question because I'm too occupied NOT FREAKING OUT!Seriously, this was ... scary. Like, so-terryifing-I-can't-sleep-with-the-lights-out.The series is by Scott Snyder, who apparently worked some Batman stuff so some of you guys probably know him already, and a couple of others.As I said, I'm new to this stuff. I know a couple of supe...

Very enjoyable story, and not just because it's scratching my itch for something scary for halloween.I love the gloriously messed up main characters, with all their anxiety-battling, creatively destructive descent into madness... or is it madness? Of course not! There's always something out there in the dark forest, after all, and the mirror world is very dark indeed. I'm good to start pledging and getting my wishes on!The story is surprisingly emotional and visceral from start to finish, and I

This book is great. It's truly a horror comic and would make a great horror flick. Snyder captures the fear you have for your children's well-being so well. Jock's art fits the story extremely well. My one complaint is the coloring. Hollinsworth overlays the color with this splatter effect that is really distracting and obscures the art.

4.5/5 stars - Finally picked this, and after reading it, I'm angry at myself for waiting so long. This is a nasty little witch story and I mean that in the most positive way possible. My only critique is it felt somewhat rushed.

...Close your eyes. ► Picture the woods. UGH, NO. NOT THOSE WOODS. DAMMIT. MY EYES.YES. That’s better - by the way, I really like the overprint technique used by the colorist - it helps to convey an otherworldly atmosphere so of course I love it. ► Think creepy town where your trust is definitely NOT to be freely given. Oh, you want to give it anyway. Okay, okay, don’t come and whine after. “Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t after you.” – Ethan Burkes, Pines. Now here’s someo...

4 very appreciative stars for the wonderful art! modern master JOCK (that name though) creates images that are perfect for the story, at once sludgy and precise, careful with facial expressions when necessary, with a vaguely nightmarish, dread-filled quality to many if not all of the panels. brilliant work. he is well-matched by colorist Matt Hollingsworth, who brings an exciting range of colors to his mainly dark hues; each scene, each page, is vivid and memorable, and most importantly, appropr...

“Wytches Volume 1” is about a girl named Sailor Rooks and her parents moving to a new town in order to escape a tragedy that happened where they used to live. All Sailor wants is to be normal, but that’s a little hard when you’re the “ most feared slayer of cute mythological creatures in the land” according to her father. She has severe anxiety that people will find out who she really is.“So did you kill that girl or not?” In her hometown a girl named Annie went missing in what was labeled as a

I'm going to go ahead and give this a solid 3 stars, a hearty, "I liked it!"I want to give it more because I want to like it more but there were just a few too many things that got in my way of real enjoyment.This is a story about wytches - icky creatures that live underground in forests and like to eat the little childrens - and the family who has been marked by them. Marked like you mark the chicken breasts you put in the freezer to take out again for a later meal. It's a sad story, and painfu...

This was rather fascinating! It wasn't as scary as I thought it'd be, but it was still creepy. Interested to see what happens in the next volume.

Wytches was another comic my spooky friend sent me in a Halloween Horror gift basket.(view spoiler)[ Thank you! (hide spoiler)]And 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. In fact, out of all the cool stuff they sent me, this was the first thing I read.I gotta say I was somewhat disappointed.Not all the way disappointed, just...eh. I thought this was going to be my favorite thing in the box, but once I read it, I

I've been lusting for this book ever since I first saw it. Then I get it gifted to me. Then I end up not really liking it. I'm such a loser. That's okay though. I'm gonna send it to Kelly and Mitchell so if you plan on trolling me just hold off and you can get on her review soon.Sailor Rook's family moves to the creepy town of Litchfield, NH. (Don't move there)..Seems like Sailor or Sail *gag* has some angsty problems and needed to be moved away from them.Everyone already knows about her though....

Creepy good but still too many to develop. This collected edition contains the comic book title “Wytches” #1 to #6.Creative Team:Writer: Scott SnyderIllustrator: JockColors: Matt HollingsworthLetters: Clem Robins THE SNYDER’S WYTCHES PROJECT The woods are full of horrors 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.Scott Snyder (the writer) crafted a creepy good tale, where it’s unavoidable (at

Sometimes I’m a fan of creepy. Not creepy like “Hmm, I’m not entirely sure the way that guy brushed his pelvis against me on the Metro was accidental” creepy, but who doesn’t love a good, adrenaline-inducing shot of terrifying horror now and again?Wytches gives you that…but, maybe in a larger quantity than would be optimal for yours truly. A little creepy goes a long way. It’s like Icy Hot—you pull your groin, you don’t want to do more than dab a little of that on the affected area, lest you end...

I’ve never been a big fan of horror comics, but that hasn’t stopped me from the occasional read and subsequent pawning of said read off to Shelby, the Chimp Queen, no matter what the consequences.Scott Snyder has done his share of spooky stuff, I’ve read them, liked them; so, it’s some bubble, bubble, toil and trouble tymes…bring on the Wytches.After a skeery prelude, we start off with a semi-familiar trope:It’s the new kid in town with a dark past, yet Snyder manages to wheel and deal with some...

Find all of my reviews at: http://52bookminimum.blogspot.com/Wytches promised to be “dark” and “horrifying” – “creepier” and more “bone-chilling” than readers could imagine. Uhhhhhhh . . . . When I first heard about this I was all over trying to get my hands on a copy. I mean just look at the cover art . . . Unfortunately my library spends all of their excess funds stocking pornography (not complaining) rather than new graphic novels. Sadly, once I finally got a chance to read Wytches, i...

Scott Snyder has quickly established himself as one of the most popular mainstream comic-book writers out there, and I think I more or less get that by now. He is the diligent and reliable type, meticulously maps out his stories, populates them with lively and relatable characters, and knows how to put a contemporary spin on genre formulas. He may be no Alan Moore but he gets the job done, and he gets it done better than most.Family drama meets psychological horror in Wytches, Snyder’s latest on...

Read a graphic novel.This is a book that keeps on giving. It was gifted to me by a friend of mine after she read it after it was gifted to her and so on and so on. This cover is simply fabulous, and deserves its own little spot in the sun.I liked this one a lot more than my friends did, but there were a LOT of problems with it. However, my particular issues lay with the execution and the style of the book and not so much with the story.Wytches has an interesting premise, and Scott Snyder has som...
