SERIES PREMIERE

FOR FANS OF GIDEON FALLS AND HOME SICK PILOTS!

After inheriting a farm house, Trudy and Gabby are ready to start the next chapter of their lives together...except it's already home to a mysterious force that's attracted ghosts, aliens, and all kinds of supernatural beings for decades.

Now, Gabby and Trudy must play by the "house rules" in order to survive living among the most frightening creatures on Earth in this new series from KYLE STARKS (ASSASSIN NATION, THE SIX SIDEKICKS OF TRIGGER KEATON) and ARTYOM TOPILIN (ICE CREAM MAN PRESENTS: QUARANTINE COMIX SPECIAL).

    Horror DNA - Ricardo Serrano Denis May 25, 2022

    I Hate This Place #1 is a strong start that knows the value of keeping some secrets locked up for future issues. It establishes a sense of place and character that makes it hard not to care for the story. Gore and blood abound but more as a promise of things to come. One thing is for sure as far as this first issue is concerned, you'll love hating the place Gabby and Trudy find themselves in, and you'll want more of it sooner rather than later. Read Full Review

    Big Comic Page - Adam Brown May 19, 2022

    On my first read through I was admittedly a little lost on the horror angle. I felt there was just a bit too much going on, just a few too many different threads to bind this together. Im glad I gave it another read though as I got over my initial concerns and, as stated above, just enjoyed the ride. I still feel it's maybe more of an action horror than something that will truly give you the shivers, but thats A-okay in my book too. Read Full Review
