The Nice House on the Lake #3
| Writer | James Tynion IV |
| Artist | Alvaro Martinez |
| Cover Price | $3.99 |
Walter's "rules" for their getaway strongly suggested the residents not leave the property lines of the House...but how far do they go? It's not like Sam, the Reporter, to leave a question like that unanswered...but what he finds when he walks the perimeter of the lake might turn out to be the story of his lifetime-however much longer it lasts!

Geek Dad - Ray Goldfield
Aug 03, 2021This new horror book has been slowly unraveling its mysteries over its first two issues, but it's this issue where it breaks out and turns into one of the best comics put out by any company. Read Full Review

BGCP - Michael Lennox
Aug 04, 2021Tynion's use of a rotating protagonist in each issue is a useful plot device allowing each character to shine without allowing one to push others into the dak. The powerhouse of Bueno and Bellaire again effortlessly paint a stunning world with paradise at the centre surrounding Dante's Inferno. If you have not wanted to pick up the issues yet, this is the time to get all three from your local store. Read Full Review

Graphic Policy - Ricardo Denis
Aug 04, 2021Tynions focus on Sam shows that each character in Nice House has a continents worth of story in them. Not only should we expect more of these single-character studies in the future, but they might also become the some of the best parts of the whole series. Its getting harder and harder to wait for the next installment of The Nice House on the Lake and its looking like it has no intention of letting up on that. Read Full Review

Comic Watch - Bethany W Pope
Aug 04, 2021This story is a revelation. Horrors, existential, interpersonal, and cosmic, burst through the bloody pages of this book. It's a shame that it's only released once a month. Read Full Review

The Super Powered Fancast - Deron Generally
Aug 03, 2021Alvaro Martinez Bueno delivers some beautiful imagery throughout this issue. There are some great character moments on every page and the details are brilliant. What I really loved was the subtlety of some of the moments, especially the ones that showcased that Sam was not alone. Read Full Review

ComicBook.com - Chase Magnett
Aug 04, 2021It's impressive how neatly the series has laid out its mythos without ever descending into the worst narrative tendencies in comics, instead remaining a character piece. It's for that reason I'm eager to continue exploring with this increasingly harried set of survivors. Read Full Review

I am absolutely loving this series. It is something different than the currently published stuff.Also the art is nice. Hope it sells well because stuff like "I am not starfire" or "new warriors" gets all the attention while we should be all supporting and promoting the good stuff. And I can happily say this is the good stuff!

I cant believe I'm liking a DC book and it's on my monthly pull list.... Hell has officially frozen over.

I'm really liking this issue for TNHOTL. It sets up more story and that ending was awesome. The art is still stunning. The writing was great, took a non-horror rout this issue but I'm sure more will come. I want to know more and I can't wait for issue four.

Can we just agree that is some of the best cover work for a series since Wicked + Divine.

In this chapter comes a real sense of helplessness. Sam using his investigative journalism skills tries to make sense of the surrounding environment. Readers and theorists would certainly attach themselves to him in trying to figure it all out. Unfortunately, all that he finds is nothing but disappointment in that nothing about everything seems to make any sense. Imagine the frustrations an invested fan would feel when they come up with nothing.

Another great issue. I thought this one might have been better than the lasts. Had a lot of emotion and the art is just a great fit.

The mistery is alive and well! Kinda..right..? xD I keep getting amazed by Alvaro Martinez Bueno's Art and the story continues its misterious path without giving too much but keeping us engaged. It keeps exploring how the human mind deals with extreme trauma and lack of control. We have a range of characters and ideas and all feel very human. The "villain" is still an unknown in terms of how and why, but its eerie look and reveal still stuns me at my core, and so does on our merry group. Can't wait for more :)

I don't find James Tynion IV's dialogue to be especially compelling. It just feels a little... performative? Like, it's not what someone would say in real life, but rather what someone would say as an actor in a movie trying to be as realistic as it could be. There's a bit of an imitation crab vibe to it, for me. But this was a good issue, regardless. I'm slightly intrigued.

The art is unbelievably great, and I appreciate that Tynion doesn't hold your hand at all. Stoked to be along for the ride.
