A mysterious and bloodthirsty matriarchal force runs the town of Redlands, Florida, and in order to stay on top, sacrifices must be made. But someone is intent on removing these powerful women from the top of the food chain. And he's ready to unleash their darkest secret...
It's hard to rate something so early in its run because so many things are purposely left undefined. But every box was checked for me and I'm completely sold on seeing what happens next. Redlands is creepy, beautiful, intriguing, and all kinds of messed up. Read Full Review

Overall, Redlands #2 is the best follow-up you could ask for to a series that is luring us in with perfect rhythm and mystery. All in. No reservations. Read this comic. Read Full Review
Redlands is like a supernatural True Detective with a tinge of Silence of the Lambs thrown in. It works as a solid cop drama and is only intensified by the occult abilities of the three main characters. This is a horror comic to watch. Read Full Review
In an industry full of recycled ideas and formulaic storytelling, the Redlands team is flipping the medium upside down, dousing it in fire, and resurrecting it with blood magic. Read Full Review
This comic is dark and blood stained and sure to only get darker and darker as we head into the woods. Read Full Review
A new take on witches in a well told comic. Great! Read Full Review
Redlands #2 dives straight into an intense and gritty story, that is both engaging and immersive. I'm curious to see how this story will unfold and where things will go from here. It's hard not to like what Jordie Bellaire and Vanesa Del Rey have created, with its compelling story-telling, complex characters and striking art. Read Full Review
"Redlands" #2 is luxuriating in that sickly sweet spot where you first feel the hair prick up on the back of your neck. Read Full Review
Del Rey's artwork is the perfect fit for this R-rated horror mystery. The blood flows deep, and the contrast here makes for a great landscape for Bellaire's thrilling tale. If blood and nudity aren't your cup of tea, perhaps a different drink is needed, as this book has plenty of both, but all warranted for this modern day horror story. Read Full Review
For me, this is horror's highest calling. Where do you draw the line? Which set of murderers should we be cheering for? Sympathizing with a character who goes on to murder the folks she should be saving is unsettling. The men fighting demons are worse than demons. That's Redlands, messing with you. Placing powerful hooks in your heart and then tugging hard to see which side hurts worse. Read Full Review
'Redlands' is emerging into a unique horror experience where you don't know exactly what will happen next. Bellaire and Del Rey are wringing every ounce of tension and suspense in every scene. The premise has unfolded with some unlikely protagonists, a charming but deadly antagonist, and one bloody twist after another. This is 'Charmed' meets 'Hannibal' which makes 'Redlands' a must-buy.

. Redlands may not be the best book hitting the stands, but its first two issues have both been solid and consistent, with a mystery that has me curious. It's that mystery that makes this book worth checking out, and has me hopeful the pay-off will all be worth it in the end. Read Full Review
Clearly this book isn't for me, but I'm going to keep on trucking, hoping that it will progressively improve, and that maybe this is just a rocky start, but maybe you'll like it if you want to see cartoonishly men get what they deserve, and witches, who are by no means benevolent, bring their order to an, otherwise, man's world, this may be the book for you.

A great follow up to the debut issue. This is looking like a very, very solid horror series. I'd recommend picking up a copy of #1 and #2 if you haven't already.
This is a dark, intriguing second issue; we are still left very much into the dark surrounding what is exactly going on here, but this issue is creepily captivating. I wasn't sure what to think after the first issue, but this installment roped me in. I love the Del Ray art, and am fascinated by the world Bellaire has begun to build.
The first issue reeled me in completely showing me what these witches are capable of. But, this 2nd issue slowed down a bit. That's not a bad thing necessarily because we get introduced to a few new characters which seem to be very interesting and the beginning of the present time storyline. The first half of this book is engaging but it ends with a question mark in my head; I don't mean that in a pleasant way as I was genuinely confused. I'm looking forward to the next release.
