The final pages kick things into a whole new gear in classic Tynion style, tying this new story seamlessly into the previous arc and completely and utterly erasing any of my aforementioned fears about this feeling like an ‘unnecessary retread'.

Black Label has led to a resurgence in creator-owned books at DC, with none getting more acclaim and success than James Tynion IV's The Nice House on the Lake, a fascinating thriller about the people who survived the end of the world due to the intervention of an old friend who turned out to be a manipulative alien intelligence who trapped them in a strange house where they gained control over their environment and maybe the world itself.

The Nice House on the Sea can be described with those same words as it introduces a new gathering of individuals at a new location under the same premise, but what makes it so impressive is how quickly it builds upon what's come before to change everything readers know once again. Read Full Review

The Nice House by the Sea reveals a group of characters who seem entitled and undeserving of the gifts they're well aware of. It's a stark contrast to the motley group of guests in the last series, which creates an exciting new dynamic of characters worth investing in. The Nice House by the Sea uses its ensemble cast superbly to introduce a fluid and wonderfully relaxed set of new characters, only to pull the rug out and stamp on it with its sci-fi horror genius.

I liked the Nice House by the Lake. I was looking forward to this. At first, it felt too identical to the formula of that series, but then you start to notice differences with this group of people. And then the end. Did not expect that.
Interesting start. Beautiful art that actually tops 'Nice House on the Lake' for me.
