All Arturo wants is for his partner, Sam, to be happy-so why isn't he? What is scratching at the edge of Sam's memories that keeps him restless and unsatisfied? As a journalist, nothing can keep Sam from the truth-no matter what that truth could cost the man he loves...
We're closing in on the end, which means the comic's central mystery is running out of places to hide. Very soon, things will have to come out into the light. Fortunately for us readers, the process has been nothing short of spectacular, even though it's getting harder and harder to wait for the remaining issues to drop. Read Full Review
Do not sleep on this series just because of the title. Shout about it, spread the joy and the terror. Neither you nor any new reader you bring to the fold will regret it. Read Full Review
The Nice House on the Lake #9 is another masterful issue for what is one of the best monthly comics on the shelves. The plot is moving quickly and the artwork is fantastic. Read Full Review
Tynion expertly keeps the reader guessing as to how this will conclude, and Martinez Bueno consistently provides some outstanding contrasting art styles month in month out. DC's best book bar none. Read Full Review
This issue is one of the more laid-back of the run so far, with few scare moments or shocking twists. But it's all the more impressive that it's never anything but completely compelling. Read Full Review
Alvaro Martinez Bueno blows me away with the visuals in this issue. The style is beautifully complex and gorgeously detailed. Read Full Review
The Nice House on the Lake #9 continues to entice its readers with danger and impending doom. Our heroes are slowly discovering things are far too weird to be taken literally and Walter is losing his control. Like a powder keg it's deliciously building towards utter chaos and you won't want to look away. Read Full Review
The opening sequences in The Nice House On the Lake have always been unsettling with their blood-red color schemes and apocalyptic aesthetics, but the opening pages of issue #9 which center, perhaps, the most gentle member of the cast in a charnel house somehow heightens expectations for the series' endgame even more.

Lots of parts moving forward.
The art is stellar, I just at this point in the series I knew the entire cast well as opposed to just a few characters here and there.
I feel revelations, twists, and craziness are imminent.
I feel like this issue got things back to feeling impactful again. I feel excited to see what happens.
Tynion & Bueno continue to deliver a good story, although not a lot of things happened in this issue. I wish we would've got more of Arturo's perspective in this one. He wasn't fleshed out very well previously beyond just being Sam's partner. Although Nora & Walter's conversation was the highlight of this issue.
Mindwiping the characters and having them relearn everything we already know over several issues is a weird choice.
