You won't find it on any map, but if you happen to be driving down Route 66 late at night and you're truly desperate for shelter, sanctuary or secrecy, you might see a battered sign on the side of the road: The Pierrot Courts Hotel. - where many check in but few check out.
Overall, an excellent story that blends horror and noir into a satisfying dish that will more than have readers intrigued. The story by John Lees is eerie and well developed. The art by the creative team is gorgeous. Altogether, a story that will have readers on the edge of their seat. Read Full Review
Hotell is a true standout of a horror comic from beginning to end. If this is what new publisher AWA Studios has in store for us, we are in for quite a treat. Hotell sets the bar high right out of the gate with unparalleled scares, brilliant artwork, and great character work. Do not miss it. Read Full Review

Horror fans are going to love this, and between this and all the other comics releasing this week from AWA Upshot mark this as a publisher to keep an eye on.

A demented and fun start to this short horror anthology series. Read Full Review
Hotell #1 starts out strong but ends in a confusing manner. That being said, the surreal ending makes me want to read the next three issues to find out if any of the imagery at the end is explained through interconnected stories.

On the strength of Red Border, Archangel 8, and Resistance I added the entire line AWA titles too my pull list. I recently dropped several titles from my pull list and had some slots open. The cover from a distance seems innocuous but gets more bizarre the longer you look at it.
Aside from the AWA branding, I had no idea what to expect from the comic. It appears to be an anthology series with the Pierrot Hotel acting as a backdrop.

A great start for Lees. John Lees is an amazing horror writer, and this is surprisingly tame to what he has unleashed in comics such as Mountain-head. A horror anthology of a motel called Hotell along Route 66, containing four rooms, each housing four stories of horror infused goodness. This story was a good introduction to the concept, especially for those getting into horror, because you haven't seen shit yet. Art by Talajic was good, especially with the " baby " scenes. Ending was kind of blunt and abrupt, but was an overall nice one shot horror story wrapped up with a bow.
