But Why Tho? - Max Funkey
Jan 23, 2020As it stands, Family Tree #3 is in direct contention for my favorite horror comic currently running. While the competition is stiff, Family Tree stands out. Few comics are as forthcoming and also as mysterious as this one. It is absolutely worth your time. Even if you've missed the first couple issues, if you enjoy horror or a good story then pick this one up. Read Full Review

Comics: The Gathering - Jay Hill
Jan 21, 2020If you weren’t sure what this story was really about before this issue, you won’t be much closer after this one, but you will be shown more of what is under the surface. Lemire’s focus on family has an added twist in this issue. And, the art adds an atmosphere like no other. The ideas in this comic are definitely interesting and are now gaining form. If this course is kept, this comic may be beginning to bloom. Read Full Review

Word Of The Nerd - Jordan Claes
Jan 22, 2020Family Tree #3 is yet another excellent chapter in what has become an increasingly exciting horror/mystery story, the likes of which I've never quite encountered before. Lemire's originality is drawn from a bottomless well of inspiration; he is nothing short of a miracle and we are lucky to have him. If Jeff Lemire were a boxer, he'd be Floyd Mayweather: completely and utterly untouchable. Read Full Review

Rather slow and it didn't offer much perspective about the real issue even if we are already at issue #3. The premise of the story is sure interesting but the pacing is hindering its execution.

This wasn't amazing, the pace is kind of all over, and I'm not sure that I like the main characters much.

This was a slow-burner. We are introduced to a deeper insight of this human-to-tree concept through out this concept, and we also find out that the Grandpa can still talk to his son through a piece of bark he chopped off him. Meg finally makes it to NYC to see a " doctor ", and there we also discover more about who is chasing them. This issue, while things are happening and moving, those action scenes really help balance this book. Since this is only what Issue 3 and not post Issue 20, was kinda expecting it to keep the momentum up. It was just bogged down so we can from point A to point B. But eh, we might just need to wait for #4.

The only reason I'm still reading this is because a friend might also continue to read it. But they're being slow about deciding, so until they make up their mind, I'm stuck with this really uninspired comic. It just feels like every indie title I've ever read. It's not even that bad. It just doesn't feel like it's worth reading.
