2.75/5 ⭐️

The story is a one star for me but I bumped it up becuase the art was decent. We have a goth orgy/dark lord ritual gone wrong and we bounce to the present and past multiple times. I didn't really get where this was going. I'm chalking it up to this story just isn't for me and that's ok.

Not what I expected

Maybe it was just me but I found it a little hard to follow. By the next couple books I’ll hopefully have the characters down. I just need the willpower to read those 👀

I would have loved this book so much more if the timeline wasn't all over the place....or, I guess fluid with everything existing all at once. Characters from 1995 somehow end up as part of the Wild Hunt in the days of myth, and meet Sappho? What? I get that things are slippery when gods are concerned, but the constant time-shifts kept throwing me for a loop. Great concept though, and the art is a perfect compansion for the series.

Others in the reviews have mentioned this so I won't labor on too much about it, but yeah, the story is very confusing and difficult to follow. It doesn't help that several of the principle characters do look very similar to each other. The book seems to be unable to decide what it wants its themes to be. The art itself is lovely and it builds a good atmosphere of suspense and horror, but I don't think it delivers with its story.

Mmmm okay

It was okay, short, not sweet it escalated fast! Like koolaid fast and there was little to read into, just a glance and glimpse into something dark. The initial FF couple and how the night progressed at the same time we see a snap of 20-something years later and the FMC is still haunted.

3 stars

Giving this a 3 star instead of a 2. It’s an incomplete story that ends on a cliffhanger. We don’t get much information. It should have been a little longer because it’s not enough information for me to like it nor dislike it. So a 3 is more accurate

I absolutely loved the art style, but it was confusing to follow. I feel like we didn’t get enough of the story in either timeline for it to make a whole lot of sense. But I’m intrigued to read more at some point.

[Rachel Finkelstein · Rating 3 out of 5]

Art was really cool, was intrigued by some of the characters, but when I put it down, I was like, what did I just read? And I don’t mean that in a good way. I like surreal and disorienting, but as a first issue, there needs to be more grounding and stability. I’m not sure if I’ll continue reading.

the title really says it all

The story was a little trippy but interesting nonetheless. The artwork was AMAZING! I don’t entirely understand much of the storyline yet, but hopefully you get more context as the series continues.

I thought this would have been something else...this was not for me..

[James R. Ruzinok · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very entertaining, now to get the next in the series!

[Holly Letson · Rating 4 out of 5]

An interesting series starter.

[Courtney · Rating 2 out of 5]

[Sarah Cratem · Rating 3 out of 5]

Definitely dark, I like the illustration but the story is a bit confusing.
