**Note that this is a review of the single-issues, as the collected Volume 2 is not out yet.**Harrow COunty is one of the best comics you're not reading, and it's near the top of my monthly pull list (and I read ALOT of titles!)Everything about this book, from the evocative art, the lush Gothic setting, and the well-plotted storyline and scripting works together to create a memorable experience for the reader. As alluded to in a previous review, it's like watching a deeply twisted Stephen King b...
Evil twin!Yeah, it's been done to death, but it's still a fun trope.Ok, so this was one of the many times when irony kicked me in my tits. Just as soon as I gave up on the library ever finding their missing copy of this volume (it had been in book limbo for 3 or 4 months), and decided to go ahead and read volume 3...they told me they had it ready and waiting for me.Because of course they did.However!For whatever reason, vol 3 & vol 2 are actually pretty self-contained, and 3 didn't really seem t...
And so comes the 2nd Harrow County arc, and is it as good as the first? Uhh....YES! So Emmy is getting used to going around town helping people. She has powers some would only dream of but she's still pushing on the good fight with trying to do good in the world. She even visits other ghouls and demons to try to convince them she's there for them again. Then, out of nowhere, her twin sister arrives in town. Kammi right off the bat pretends to care for her sister a lot but you can see the evil mo...
I am loving this series. I don't know much about art but I know I like the visuals of Harrow County. The elements of water colors really give the story depth and emotion, it makes the darker sections of the story that much more creepy. The story-telling itself is terrific too. The first volume seemed like an intro into the world (in a good way) and the second volume seemed to be, at least for the moment, a stand-alone type story arch, but I could be wrong about that and maybe these things pop ba...
Not quite as good as the first story ARC, and it raises questions that aren't really answered. But still a good read, nice and Southern Gothic.
As much as I hate Cullen Bunn writing Deadpool lately... THAT much I like him writing horror comics.This continues to be good. It's like reading your new favourite tv series. Which is not a horror series that will scare you or anything like that, but will have you turning pages and going from one issue to the next one just to see/read what happens next, and even though most of the stories are self-contained, you want to read the next one for sure.I won't even talk about the artwork because it's
The Second Volume of the creepy Harrow County continues Emmy's story.Harrow County is a haunted place. The dark past of the Harrow County was discussed in the first volume. Emmy had come to terms, somewhat, with the situation in Harrow. But as events begin to go back to as normal as Harrow County ever gets-Emmy has a visitor! her twin sister Kammi from NYC. That is all the plot I'm going to give away. This was a really entertaining story. I am pleasantly surprised. It is a mixture of a nice stor...
The series continues to be pretty great, even though the story of Emmy's *evil* twin sister turned out to be a bit formulaic and predictable. Still, it is lots of fun and the artwork is still gorgeous. I also absolutely love the short tales from Harrow County at the end of each issue, but I am not sure if those are collected in trades, as I read this in singles.
Emmy and the town have accepted her as the local witch, even if she does things a bit differently. I love how she goes about befriending the haints. It's one of the things that really make you root for her, that she's often misunderstood and has this great big heart. One day Emmy's twin, Kammi, shows up from the city. She's almost a mirror universe version of Emmy (I'm a bit surprised she didn't sport a goatee.) more than just an evil twin. At times it feels like you'll find out that at one poin...
I'm tearing through the series and the quality has remained consistently excellent --- so this review will be repeated till a stumble requires alteration.
More of the same: moody art, atmospheric writing, stale tropes.
Second volume of a Southern Gothic horror series with a great team, Cullen Bunn and Tyler Crooks. I think the artwork--featuring the mysterious psychic "white witch" Emmy and her evil twin, and some really inventive haints--is the main event in this series. Really makes it worthwhile to check out, for the art alone.The evil twin thing is not original and not handled in a particularly original way, and that's a bit of a problem. Oh, she's from the CITY! She approaches haints in exactly the opposi...
Didja like the first Harrow County? Then you’ll probably like the second book too. It’s more of the same southern gothic “horror” that’s kinda corny/contrived (this one part of the world sure is riddled with magical creatures!) and not-at-all scary but it’s drawn nice. That’s one thing I took away from this second volume: a deeper appreciation for Tyler Crook’s art, though I liked Cullen Bunn’s writing less this time around. The story’s predictable in that Emmy’s twin sister Kammi turns out to b...
Bullet Review:I enjoyed this though now that I think back on it, there's nothing really amazingly new about the story. Artwork is pretty fantastic though - definitely a draw. Oh well, at least I can follow the plot unlike with some comics *cough*Casanova*cough*.
This story is not as good volume 1 but still entertaining.What’s it about?Uh, I won’t bother with that this time because if you haven’t read volume 1 I’m spoiling stuff for you but if you have read volume 1 you probably know what this is about.Pros:The story is interesting.The art is still fantastic. A little cartoony but I like that and it still fits the book’s tone.The characters become more interesting (and my theory is more likely with some stuff in this volume).The horror is still that good...
I liked first book a lot, but second, it's completely different story. Evil twin Kammi appears, with no real back story, they are friends with Emmy and happy at first, then clouds start to show up and she start to suspect some bad intentions from Kammi. Then there is parade of all different monsters from Harrow County, then, some kind of stand off and fight ...and there is the end. No story at all, no movement somewhere, no character development. It felt like wrongly cut movie, when you know the...
After the events in the first volume, has peace returned to Harrow County, and Emmy is using her powers for good. But peace is shattered when a girl arrives from the city. A girl that looks just like Emmy...I liked the first volume quite much, but this one was even better. Emmy's story was established in the first volume and here the story progress with Emmy getting more used to her powers and the neighbors seem to appreciate her help when they have a supernatural problem. But, this peaceful sit...
Harrow County Volume 2 continues its dark and creepy southern horror story by introducing a mysterious twin. The art is fantastic and large variety of horror creatures makes this an interesting read.
I liked this arc more than the first one, but it does start to feel that four issues per arc means stories have to wrap up a bit too quickly.Although seeing the nature of the series, any ending can be undone.
This is the second volume of Harrow County and I'm still deeply in love with this beautifully twisted book.I'm not sure why, whether it's the combination of writer and artist coming together in perfect synergy or if it's that this tale feels like a Stephen King novel in pictorial form, but this book lives and breathes for me.When Emmy is running through the midnight woods, a slavering, motley horde of nightmare creatures heavy on her heels, I can feel her heart beating like a jackhammer inside m...
