Turn on the lights, lock the doors, check the closets and
under the beds and most assuredly do not look out the windows, Wytches is
coming. Not your run of the mill, everyday teenagers playing at magic, but real, terrifying, powerful Wytches. The all-new Wytches, written by Scott Snyder, is not your
ordinary tale of “witches” but a truly horrific look at real Wytches and what
they are capable of.
Snyder's all-new horror comic book starts with a bullying
incident (that in itself is quite disturbing) that goes terribly wrong.The
Rooks family and their daughter Sailor have recently moved trying to start over
and transition to normal life after Sailors’s recent and harrowing ordeal,
each recovering in their own way. Sailor returns to school, a new school, but
the events of her past does not take long to resurface and the terror that
haunts Sailor returns. There is something lurking in the woods, but who or what
is unclear. The one thing that is defined, it is interested in Sailor and her
family.
The artwork by Jock brings Wytches to terrifying life. The
comic books unsettling tone is due in large part to the bold, aggressive line
work by artist Jock and enhanced by colorist Matt Hollingsworth. Hollingsworth's warm tones bring the small town life to life inviting and alluring, but that
soon changes becoming dark, sinister and frightening.
Wytches #1 brings the horror back to comic books. The
artwork and writing together give readers a truly terrifying tale that is only
just beginning. Comic book fans do yourself a favor pick up a copy of Wytches
today you will not be disappointed.
