Pick #1: Grim & Gorgeous…

IT’S THE MONSTERS WHO SHOULD BE AFRAID.

Plot: Her name is Erica Slaughter. She kills monsters. That is all she does, and she bears the cost because it must be done.

This series has exploded in popularity of the last few years, and there’s 7 volumes and a spin off. So there’s LOTS to read in “The Slaughter-verse.”

The art is modern, dark and evocative. The storyline toys with childhood fears and nameless monsters in the dark. The author, James Tynion IV is a force of nature in horror comics right now.

If you like stuff that’s grim and gorgeous, don’t miss this one.
