Overall, Nailbiter Returns #1 feels like a masterclass in returning to an acclaimed series. Each member of the creative team is at the top of their game and there is never a boring moment to be found. The story has a lot of legs to go on, and the art is gorgeous. As a lapsed reader of the original series, I never felt confused by the events of this sequel. I am excited to see what comes next for Alice, and Finch, and if you like horror you will be too.

A brand-new mystery has been set in motion, and the stakes are bigger than they have ever been before. I mean, the first mystery was all about the murders which never truly ended. Though here we are with Nailbiter: Returns #1, and it seems that the idea is to remind the world that they still have something to fear. Nothing is more dangerous than a copycat(s) who wants to make a statement. Well that and make their presence felt. As an extra-length first issue, this creative team did not disappoint in giving us every reason to look forward to more! Read Full Review

I'm really glad that this creative team has resurrected Nailbiter. I loved the first series and the second is already off to a great start. Given the pedigree behind this series, I cant see how this can possibly be anything other than a stellar return. Read Full Review

Writing aside, Henderson's artistic contribution to the book was incredible and sells the series. It is definitely gruesome, but it is effective at portraying body horror, at capturing such particularly brutal moments in a stylistic way. The illustrations are scarily detailed, the colors are eerily effective and able to switch between a subdued muted scale to a violently vivid visual. And that's interesting to me and I was enthralled by it, but I also recognize that series is definitely going to appeal to a niche audience. Read Full Review

It's been a while so I have totally forgotten what Nailbiter was about, but Nailbiter Returns #1 was so seamless that it was obvious what was important and each twist did have quite an impact on me. So kudos to the creative team on this one. Read Full Review

I did not read the previous series but I decided to jump in and I am do glad that I did!

I thought Nailbiter ended in a good place, but this successfully recreates the draw of the first run and has me intrigued.
