Jun 29, 2026Fixation #1 is for readers who like horror with mystery, fandom critique with empathy, and vampire nostalgia served with a side of “yo, maybe do not meet your heroes in a murder house.” Pre-order this one before August 3, because when September 9 hits, Vail is opening its doors, Blood Mountain is calling its faithful, and somebody is ready to turn fandom into a crime scene.

Capes & Tights - Justin Soderberg
Jul 03, 2026Fixation takes a bit of familiar pieces and twists them into something that ultimately feels fresh and unsettling. Amy Chase brings a tense mystery, while Savanna Mayer illustrates the eerie vibes in this oversized thought-provoking premiere issue that had me guessing. Fixation is a gripping and unnerving story that proves fandom can be just as terrifying as anything else, making for crime story worth diving into. Read Full Review

Sep 09, 2026Fixation will appeal instantly to fans of comedy horror and good murder mysteries. However, it may also win over those Twilight fans who have a sense of humor and any fan who can appreciate the problems born of obsession.

Sep 09, 2026Overall, Amy Chase’s “Fixation #1” is solid and sticks the initial landing while leaving room for more. While the art admittedly holds it back a tiny bit for me, it’s something I was still able to easily sink my teeth into as a slasher fiend. While not perfect, I’m still very interested to see where this goes! Read Full Review

Jul 16, 2026Though the main characters are the least interesting aspect of the book, the book delivers some chills through drama between the supporting characters and haunting artwork. Read Full Review
