1865. Defrauded spiritual medium Alicia Wilkinson is brought to The Ashcroft Hospital at the behest of Dr. John James Templeton. He offers Alicia a second chance to revive her once-thriving career: Perform a séance amongst the patients in order to drawing out their mental maladies. Alicia performs her first series of séances with the patients-including traumatized soldiers returning from the Civil War, women whose sanity has slipped through their fingers-only to realize their sessions might work all too well. What no one knows is Alicia is a fake. A liar. A cheat... So why are the patients suddenly acting possessed?
Seance in the Asylum #1 definitely feels like a Clay McLeod Chapman story and partnering with artists such as Leonardo Marcello Grassi and Andrea Mutti to bring this series to life makes for a complete package. The dark tone is set in this first issue and we cannot wait to see where they take thistale of deception, madness, and mystery in future issues. Read Full Review
Marcello Grassi captures the perfect tone in the art as the visuals immerse the reader into the dark, emotional terror of the character as well as the physical terror both from and towards the inmates. Read Full Review
Seance in theAsylumreads as if Edgar Allan Poe wrote a comic. It's dark, moody, and a bit disturbed. There's a strangeness that grips you while establishing a very dangerous proposition with its cliffhanger. Read Full Review
Not bad at all.
I'm not 100% sold, but it was a good enough start to keep me going. I feel like it has a lot of potential.
It was okay, but nothing that great. I won't be getting issue #2.
