Horror Month 2023: #3

Last Days by Adam Nevill

October 9, 2023 by Jake Leave a Comment

This is a book that shouldn’t have worked for me. There’s little characterization and what is there made the MC come off as an insufferable prig. The book follows a formula of the film crew going to one location, talking to someone attached to the cult, being spooked out by the house on location…and then moving on and doing the same thing over-and-over. The scares themselves are of that jumpscare variety that’s never been my kind of horror. And it takes 531 pages to get […]

Kamala is my squishy muffin.

Five stars for the actual Ms. Marvel story included here, written by G. Willow Wilson and drawn in full by the lovely Adrian Alphona. Minus a full star because the last two issues in this volume are a Spider-Man/Ms. Marvel team-up, which was fun enough when Ms. Marvel was there and kind of boring when she wasn’t, but my biggest issue is that it’s totally jarring to read them after the other four issues in the book. I say it’s jarring because Last Days, while […]
