The new hit series from DSTRLY by BECKY CLOONAN and TULA LOTAY continues!
Set amidst the terrifying backdrop of the witch hunts in a quiet 1600s English village, SOMNA follows one woman's erotic escape from the confines of her puritanical world.
No one is above suspicion when the relentless Witch Hunter Roland draws his net around someone close to him as this darkly sexual thriller races towards its gripping conclusion!
From the masterful minds of Becky Cloonan (BY CHANCE OR PROVIDENCE) and Tula Lotay (BARNSTORMERS) comes an intoxicating blend of history, eroticism, and the supernatural. This series will transport more
A sensual, strong second issue rife with more questions than answers that leaves you aching for more. The last issue can't come soon enough. Read Full Review
With every page composed as a spread, the darkening shadows surrounding Cloonan's sharp linework and increased clarity of form in Lotay's fantastical watercolors suggests a detachment from reality. It is an impressive, informative, and absolutely gorgeous feat Read Full Review
As stated by so many others, Somna is a perfectly balanced book. Issue #2 continues the trend of mixing two well executed art styles with 2 different realities, telling one cohesive story. That to me is a feat in and of itself. Read Full Review
Looking at The Devil's Cut it didn't seem like Somna would be that good, in fact The Devil's Cut fulfills its purpose, bringing small prologues to DSTRLY's initiatives, although it didn't work for me, as the material in its entirety was something totally rewarding.
It is certainly one of the most phenomenal books currently, the covers are beautiful, and the content is so original that few artist wouldn't be able to repeat the feat, as Somna alternates between a normal comic and completely realistic drawings.
Aside from Tula Lotay’s haunting artistry, I find it hard to get wrapped up in the story. It’s a run of the mill witch trial tale with a lot of demon sex scenes. I don’t dislike it because of the sex scenes, I dislike it because the story isn’t very interesting.
