The characters in House Amok, dance on the line that separates fact from fiction, and although they're leaning more toward the fiction side of things, this one could go either way.House Amok #1is a strange but impressive issue packed with mystery and excitement. Read Full Review

Still, House Amok is not just another strong outing from Sebela, but also in a way feels like a settling of the Black Crown line as a whole. Whereas the imprint’s first books leaned heavily on spectacle and esoteric concepts, House Amok feels like the most human story of the production line, even if its general structure might be a little too ambiguous. There’s a lot to like about this most unorthodox of families, and it will be a real treat to see where the Sandifers’ delusions might take them moving forward. Read Full Review

House Amok is a disturbing look at a family gone off the rails. It's these five individuals against the world, but the monsters they're seeing may not be real. This adds a layer of mystery that will keep you on your toes. The entire Sandifer clan is a wild card...a violent, dangerous wild card. I can only imagine what family game night must be like for them. Read Full Review

As I said above, I think, based on this first issue, that objectively Sebela has written a really interesting story, to the point where I'll definitely be looking out for the rest of the series. But for me, I do think it would be greatly improved if this felt like more of his own story instead of repeatedly using homage as a prop. Read Full Review

House Amok #1 is a strange and intriguing addition to the Black Crown lineup. Christopher Sebela is putting together a surrealist family drama with breadcrumb hints as to what is going on. I want to know the mystery of it all, but I cant stay engaged if #2 is as droll and expansive with the narration, telling far more than showing, like this one. I can tentatively recommend it because there are a lot of peculiar and intriguing things going on, and the character relationships have been well built and have the potential to be interesting. Just be prepared for a lot of dry narration. Read Full Review
