Horror fan turned vigilante Jumpscare can conjure any gore-soaked weapon from any gore-soaked movie she's watched. Using this power, she's become a force for good in Empire City... and the world's most popular superhero! Even with all her powers, though, she may not be able to save her estranged sister from the clutches of mobster turned monster-Grindhouse! Especially with a band of eldritch zealots called the Dismal Concordat standing in her way!
I love everything about this series so far and I can only see it getting better! The action, the gore, and the uneasy excitement I get with each panel makes me giddy. I love every character and monster design in this issue. The colors draw you in. I love the references to horror movies, Friday the 13th being a big one in this issue. There's so much to like about this on top of a very good plot unfolding with great pacing. I'm definitely a Jumpscare fan now and I want to know if you are to in the comments below! Read Full Review

Plot
Allie checks the picture frames in her parents' house and asks if they're sure Rebecca was kidnapped. They play an audio recording. Allie is deeply hurt by her parents and tells them she won't help them.
Rebecca was kidnapped by the monster Grindhouse with the sole purpose of luring Jumpscare out.
Jumpscare is approached by a monster who is part of the DISMAL CONCORDAT, a fanatical religion awaiting the return of LEVIATHAN. They are certain Jumpscare is the way to bring it to our world, but Jumpscare eliminates this messenger.
Jumpscare visits a wise monster she calls Harbinger. Even though the monster uses that nickname, he warns her of Grindhouse's intentions.
