Wytches, Volume 1

I'm not a hardcore comic fan. To be frank, I haven't read many. I'm more interested in bigger graphic novels that tell a whole story, than in short comics with an ongoing one. Once in a while there are some collections coming out that combine a few comics in one bigger issue. Wytches Vol.1 is one of them and I got it because I love horror and it's been getting some rave from different places.

So with my completely unprofessional knowledge of comics: it was okay. The story is still not completed (hence the Vol.1), but it's not as open ended as you think. It can easily be read as a stand alone.

The illustrations are really good. There are a lot of colors and distortions that feet right, and are used to give it all a really dirty and gritty look. The wytches are beautifully creepy.

The story moved way too fast for me (maybe that's a comic thing?), and I would have loved to get a little more background on every character. It started really strong and creepy, but couldn't hold my interest later as the dad decided to get his daughter back.

Because it's such a quick read, I won't say that I felt like I wasted my time with it, but I definitely won't read Volume 2 once it gets released. Maybe comics aren't for me, and I'll be sticking to graphic novels in the future.
