Gideon Falls #16

Just when you think things are figured out, the status quo is shaken and the world of Gideon Falls turns on its head. Read Full Review

After a slightly slower start in the last issue, Gideon Falls #16 picks up the slack and speeds up the pace. As more and more of the world comes into view, the potential directions the story could take continue to grow in unpredictable, yet satisfying ways. Where Gideon Falls #16 currently is seems so far removed from where the story began, but the slow drip of information regarding the Black Barn has been entrancing and transformative. Lemire and Sorrentino are ambitious in their scope and have crafted an absolutely stellar experience for a comic reader that can be appreciated in single issues or collected volume, but let me tell you: you're going to want to be reading this story live because it's just that good.

GIDEON FALLS is a triumph for both horror and comic books. Read Full Review

The final panel of this issue is one of the most terrifying panels in the series so far. The next issue is coming, of course, and at this point with Gideon Falls, all you can do is hold on for the rideand hope to walk away certain. Read Full Review

An issue that gets back to the grounded plot. Perhaps a little overdue, but this reader is glad to have something to hang his hat on. Read Full Review

THE GOOD: -This was incredible. You don't even need me to tell you that anymore. -Andrea Sorrentino. I can't praise him enough. Words can't describe how much I love this f***ing art. -That opening scene was perfectly creepy and it presented a nice little origin story for Norton's scar. -These characters are so wonderful. I love them all. -When Norton walks into Doc Sutton's study. Talk about trippy man. And that's not even the best part of the issue. -Somehow, despite having seen him since issue 2, this comic still manages to make the Laughing Man creepy as hell. -Jeff Lemire is a great write, but this is his masterpiece. So much work has been pouring into the story, I doubt anything he writes in the future will t op it. -That scene with Doc Sutton is how you do madness in a comic book properly. THE BAD: -Nah. Nothing. It's perfect again. Go read it. It'd be a crime to yourself not to. more
