NEW STORY ARC
"ORIGINAL SINS," Part One
After the mind-blowing events of the first arc, Norton digs deeper into the mystery of the Black Barn, and secrets of his past begin to come to light. Meanwhile, Father Fred does some digging of his own and learns the hard way that some secrets should just stay buried.

It is entirely unsurprisingly that Gideon Falls was optioned for a TV series. It is a brilliantly constructed story that engrosses the reader with its clever writing and awe-inspiring art. This is a title you're definitely going to want in your pull list. Read Full Review
Gideon Falls is a stunning supernatural tale that offers a reading experience that is both haunting and immersive. Now in it's second arc, it is clear that the series will continue to impress. Gideon Falls #7 may not be an accessible jumping-on point, but does have the potential to generate the interest necessary to inspire new readers backtrack and get themselves up to speed.

Creators Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino treat Gideon Falls #7 like a season debut of television. This issue isnt as fast-paced as some chapters from the first arc, but it thrives in character-driven moments. Im eagerly awaiting the twists to come. Oh, and that cliffhanger wow! Read Full Review

Gideon Falls' amazing ideas have been executed flawlessly up-to-now but this issue makes them start to feel unsustainable under the weight of their own ambitions. Read Full Review
Just when you think you have it all figured out, Jeff Lemire throws a wrench in the forks and upsets the status quo. That's how it's been nearly every issue in this young run so far, and Gideon Falls #7 is no different. Read Full Review
I continue to be absolutely fascinated by this plot and these characters.
So good! If you are just jumping on then you need to start from the beginning. This is seriously an amazing series. The previous issue was such a trip. Oh man. Enjoy.
Agh! How can I wait a month for the next issue!
This was solid, if a bit light on actual story.
Great to finally be able to read this book again. A bit slower than the past few issues, but the story continues to move forward.
Cool stuff. We likey.
While not bad at all. This was the weakest issue so far. In all reality its more of a set up issue to bridge the arcs and take the story in a slightly different direction. How its built upon is what will really matter.
THE GOOD:
-Those first three pages were amazing. Great tie-back to the first issue.
-Stunning art, as expected. Andrea Sorrentino continues to amaze.
-I loved that flashback. The art stunned and the end to it was just a great twist.

-The end didn't have me that hooked. I really wanted the creepy Black more
