Chapter Three: "Fastball." The calliope plays a lunatic waltz; the rides run at breakneck speeds; Christmasland is open for business and Charlie's children are closing in on Chess Llewelyn and Agnes Claiborne. Dark magic waits around every corner... but just maybe Chess has a trick of his own up his sleeve.
There is a lot going on in this series; its brilliantly twisted and nasty with a mean sense of humour and striking art. With 3 issues to go – the horror is just getting started. I doubt the snow will stay pristine and white for long Read Full Review
If youre a horror fan, you should be reading this series. If youre a Joe Hill fan, you should be reading this series. If you like smart comics that are written well and arent afraid of Hard-R material, you should be reading this series. Bottom line, this is a stand-out title that is perhaps a little under the radar at the moment, but nonetheless deserves every bit of praise its getting.Final Score 9.5/10 Read Full Review
The writing for this issue is brutal and sadistic, which is something that works for this comic. I don't know what is going to happen and when it will and that is perfect. The mystery mixed with the killer attitude and feel, works so well with this that you will be wondering if Freddy Krueger wrote this one. Read Full Review
I'm really loving this series, and it's unlike anything you've really seen in horror comics as of late. It's fun, but has a darkness to it just a shade darker than that found in, say, Locke and Key. Obviously for fans of Joe Hill, I would also recommend this to horror comic fans from all walks. From the dyed-in-the-wool extreme horror nerds, to the classical horror fans, I think there's a nice little blend to be found here. CP Wilson III's art gets the job done, and it's a nice departure from the plethora of werewolf, vampire, zombie fare which seems to dominate the type of comics I love. Read Full Review
Joe Hill will always receive recognition for his amazing work on Locke and Key, and deservedly so. I would offer this little mini however as an additional amazing work. The man has skills and like Charlie Manx himself, he is building on some great foundation creating masterful structure. Read Full Review
Horror fans will enjoy every single page of "Wraith: Welcome To Christmasland" #4. If you haven't bought the novel yet, this comic will make you run out and get it. Read Full Review
Were left with quite a cliffhanger, however, and despite my occasional exception taking, this book remains a blast to flip through and Im eager to see what Hill and co. have in store for us. Read Full Review
