The terrifying debut of the tie-in to The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It begins here, with a story that’s bursting at the seams with clues about the new film.
Meet Jessica. Jessica just returned to her freshman year of college after winter break, bringing with her the anxieties of last semester’s poor grades, the awkwardness of facing a boy she wishes she’d never slept with, and an undeniably unnerving feeling of being watched.
She soon comes to realize that something evil made her its target, and it will not rest until it has her in its unholy grip. But why did this sinister presence set its sights on a seemingly no more
This was a blast and I look forward seeing what they have in store for Jess in the next issue! Read Full Review
The Conjuring universe has a very successful first outing in its hands with The Lover. It comes off as an organic extension of the franchise and its own brand of horror.

Garry Brown does a great job with the atmosphere throughout the story and the shadows and empty spaces are brilliantly utilized to ramp up the suspense. Cowan does an awesome job with the art and style of the story. There is a classic horror comic element to the art in this story and it captures the tone and mood of the story perfectly.

DC Horror is off to one hell of a start. This first issue captures the tone of the successful 'Conjuring' films, but is smartly written in a way that is inviting to franchise newcomers. Read Full Review

Licenced titles can become niche but this will please comic fans and movie franchise fans alike. The main story is a slow burn gradually increasing tension, while the quick second tale leaves a smile as you close the book. 3/5 stars for both stories and artwork, but what do you think?

This may be a series that will work far better as a collected edition rather than reading issue to issue, but there's lots to enjoy here and if you're already a fan of the series, you'll definitely get a kick out of this title. Read Full Review
