It's true that it is more of a setup, but the art, mood and characterisation is so good. Can't wait for no 2.

Sleep #1
MINISERIES PREMIERE
When Jonathan Reason falls asleep, he becomes...something else. Every night, it stalks his quiet town, killing (seemingly) indiscriminately. When he wakes, covered in blood, our story begins. This new horror mystery from ZANDER CANNON (Heck, Top 10, Kaijumax) shows us the horrifying waking hours of an unwilling part-time k...

Nightwing #120
BLUDHAVEN ON THE BRINK! With deadly experimental weapons in the hands of the city's oh-so-corrupt police force, Nightwing must prevent a bloody war breaking out with the gangs of Bludhaven--which would be easier if someone didn't keep trying to blow him up!
Ice Cream Man #42
"Horror House." Perhaps we should talk about what's really scary.
W_himself liked this:
As others have said, it is a good idea but forceful and too on the nose to be effective. Which I find really odd because Prince has done this concept before with extreme effectiveness. This time it felt like he needed to inform people of what is going on in the world but like... dont most of us know it? We use books to escape all the crap he brings up. I do not want to be reminded of reality in th more

Tear Us Apart #1
Deep in the Canadian wilderness, a vicious cult, dedicated to an ideology of pain, trains children to become deadly assassins. In the midst of this world of cruelty, two teenagers break the cardinal rule-by falling in love. The only thing standing between them and happily ever after is an army of murderers with a taste for blood.

The Witcher: Witch's Lament #1
Flames rise as a witch is burned at the stake. As Geralt searches for his next job, disturbing issues of the fatal persecution appear before him, bringing an ominous warning.
I am astounded about Prince's capabilities. The mix of complexity, psychology and straightforward genre storytelling reminds me of the best moments of Vertigo in its heyday. And Whenever I think I got Prince worked out, he surprises me anew. Must be the most exciting author working in comics today. Just wish he would expand beyond then anthology format and would start a long form series.
