As summer comes to an end, three friends start senior year with a bang by exploring the mysterious past of their school. But before the night is over, their adventure turns into trouble when the kids set loose an evil that seeks to prey on their worst nightmares.
Brand-new horror from Nick Keller (Death Head), Conor Nolan (Jim Henson's The Storyteller: Giants), and Kelly Fitzpatrick (Shade the Changing Girl).
Avery, Owen, and Jamie don't check off boxes in a stereotypical horror story trope list. They're unique individuals with interesting qualities, making them more relatable, which in turn makes us more invested in their lives (and hopefully not deaths). This solid character development elevates the story and the scares contained within. Bedtime Games reminds me of a good Stephen King tale. Here are three kids who set out on an adventure and end up with something very different. Read Full Review
Bedtime Games #1 is an intensely compelling story of youths end and reflecting on the tragedy and struggles of these three children. Theres a monster lurking in the margins, but its powerfully overshadowed by the character drama. Trust me, I love monsters as much as the next geek, so I look forward to the monster becoming more prominent. The characters are just that good. In any case, this one is strongly recommended. Give it a read. Read Full Review

Final Verdict: 7.0 – A good start to this horror-fantasy with heart, if not a little too reminiscent of other stories. Read Full Review
This comic will definitely disturb you, which is precisely what it's trying to do. Read Full Review
The story premise in and of itself is relatively straightforward. Take three high school kids, give them a bit of tragic background, let them go explore some dark area of local urban legend and release a horror contained therein. When you boil it down to the key points, it sounds like a paint-by-numbers version of a Stephen King novel, and thats a gross oversimplification. The characters themselves, while a little forced, dont grate in spite of their familiar concepts, but the build up to the final panel isnt at all tense and the big twist falls flat, having being dialled in earlier in the issue.
