Proctor Valley Road #1is a strong first issue. It introduces a cast of likeable characters, a realistic setting, and an intriguing mystery. It's well-paced, and Jim Campbell's lettering really helps to move the story along swiftly. Naomi Franquiz's art is youthful, which works for our young characters, and Tamra Bonvillain's bold coloring brings everything to life. This first issue leaves me eager for more Proctor Valley Road: I want to know more about this strange road, obviously, but I also want to know if these girls get to see Janis Joplin (*fingers crossed but also envious*).

A great beginning to an old-school horror story. Read Full Review

Depending on how the greater myth arc plays out, Proctor Valley Road could very easily become a staple in the genre. As of now though, I'm reasonably sold on the atmosphere and will be trailing behind the crew as they drive this road, wherever it may take us. Read Full Review

Proctor Valley Road #1 offers a standard supernatural premise thats set apart by its engaging cast and real-world creepy setting. Read Full Review

Equal parts The Goonies, Stranger Things, and Forest Gump, this is an impressive and fun start to this teenage horror comic that functions as a time capsule, combining the American culture of the 1970's with an entertaining horror story. Read Full Review

All in all, Proctor Valley World #1 is an effective first issue. Morrison and Child set out who the characters are effectively, do a great job of setting the scene and let it all play out. The art by Franquiz and Bonvillain is great, cartoony, and colorful and works well for the story even if it seems like it shouldn't. This isn't a typical Morrison experience, but that's okay- it has a nice flavor and wonderful set-up. Read Full Review

Proctor Valley Road #1 is a well done comic. It unfortunately has a lot of similar comics out right now and they're all well done. It'll be interesting to see how this one differentiates itself from the pack. The use of the Vietnam War is one way that's happening grounding the story and infusing real world events to make readers question what might have happened. Read Full Review

All in all, I'm excited to see where this series goes from Proctor Valley Road #1. The central mystery has a lot of potential, the characters are fun and endearing, and the monsters are creepy. My gripes aren't anything major and probably won't register for the majority of readers. Read Full Review

Proctor Valley Road #1 may not have a lot of legs. It is a really great idea what should, hopefully, be a short story. I find the banter between the characters to be the best thing about this book and so, a funny, scary, character driven horror comic is just up my alley. There is a lot to like here and I am excited to see where it goes. Read Full Review

If the strength of Proctor Valley Road #1 is anything to go by, this will be a series to keep your eye on, not only because of its many surprises but because it's able to take the familiar and make it feel new and fresh. Read Full Review

This is a good start, but there isn't enough humor or entertainment value in the interactions to keep things interesting while we learn who these characters are. Proctor Valley Road has a lot of potential, especially since it does have strong characters, but we'll need to wait for issues #2 and #3 to find out if its mysteries are worth investing time in.
