Wytches nimmt sich die Zeit um eine zutiefst persönliche Horrorgeschichte zu erzählen und verbindet nebenbei geschickt Coming of Age Motive mit klassischen Horrorelementen. Dabei spielt sich der horror gar nicht nur vordergründig im dunklen Wald ab, sondern zusätzlich auf so vielen anderen Ebenen des Lebens. Zudem begeistern die ausführlichen und sehr persönlich gehaltenen Anhänge der Autoren. Glatte 5/5 Sterne.

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.
