Emmy believes she is one of a kind, that there is no one else in the world quite like her. As strangers arrive in Harrow County, though, she discovers just how wrong she is. Are these beings-each possessing strange and ghastly supernatural abilities-her family?
While this is a fabulous series, it's also not one that I'd recommend jumping in on mid-stream. I'm glad I went back and read the early issues, there is a thread of story that is building and you'll be missing out on some good stuff trying to start with this issue. That said, I would encourage anyone to pick up #13 at their local shop and check out Tyler Crook's art. If you fall in love with it like I did, then you should seek out the first few collected editions to catch yourself up"then continue reading either in collections or jump to the issues so you can get that more immediate monthly fix of Harrow County.

Always south of what's right is Harrow County. Always a read that has you looking over your shoulder and keeping the lights on at night. Recommended. Read Full Review
A wonderful installment that balances storytelling, characterisation and action. It just wont cure you of your fear of scarecrows. Or corn. Read Full Review
I'm not sure what to think of the issue's cliffhanger. On one hand, I have absolutely no idea who the new villain is or how he relates to Emmy and Bernice. On the other hand, that last page was creepy as hell"and when Harrow County goes full on creepy, it almost always turns out great. Read Full Review
And for the first time, the "Tales from Harrow County" one sheet at the end of the issue also seems to expand on the newest story arc and Emmy's past connections. Meandering through the nuances of Harrow County was fun for a few issues, but I'm glad to be back on a more focused path with a driving force again. Read Full Review
To sum up, while this isn't as strong of an issue as some of the previous ones and the back-up story was a bit of let-down, Crook is great on this as usual and I think the next few issues have the potential to be better and really cement Bernice and Emmy as great characters. Read Full Review
