Redlands #5

Depressing, sexy, and combating racism, sexism, and the blurred lines between good and evil, Redlands has had a great year and I look forward to their return in 2018. Read Full Review

'Redlands' is the type of terrifying comic that operates on its own terms, immersing the reader in fiendish situations as it sees fit. Bellaire and Del Rey have conjured up a cauldron of black magic, sex, and violence. However, it's the description of a child's sexual exploitation that will make your skin crawl as the all-too-real narrative invades the story. 'Redlands' is unflinching, unnerving, and completely unpredictable. It shakes one's previously held beliefs or assumptions about witches, horror, and comics.  Read Full Review

Whatever that "something" is, I'm locked in. Overall, Redlands #5 lives in the tradition of this young series' greatness. The epilogues at the end of each issue are an awesome feature as well, this one containing some of the saddest, darkest insights we've seen thus far. The way those endings inform the series as mini-tales of their own? The way they add depth and richness to their world? Brilliant. All of it, brilliant. Read Full Review

This series is intense. Definitely not for the faint of heart.
