The feeling I have after reading Wytches is the same that I had after first reading Walking Dead. This is some truly wonderfully original stuff and I want everyone to read this book. It's creepy, atmospheric and, most importantly, scary. Snyder and Jock have hit a nerve and like all good horror creators, continue to dig at it. Fans of sinister, slow burn horror absolutely need to buy this. Those who find mangled creatures, mysterious lumps on the body and the woods at night frightening may want to stay away. I take that back, this is the perfect horror comic for you. Read Full Review

Wytches is giving out exactly what we need every month as far as a creepy-crawly book. I thought a lot of the reason the first issue worked so well was the fact that it came out close to Halloween, and got an extra spooky-boost. I'm glad to report from November, in a post-Halloween world, that the book is still extremely eerie and well-worth picking up. Read Full Review

Once again, Snyder has conceived of a vision of horror that only gets scarier with each and every reread. Paired with the exceptional talent of Jock and Hollingsworth, the writer is clearly looking to unleash something new and deeply disturbing into the world with Wytches. Im happy to meet it head on. Just dont expect me to sleep tonight. Read Full Review

Wytches #2 continues to deliver gold by striking fear. This creative team knows how to the use the ingredients of the genre to their potential and the end result absolutely shows. This series is only two issues in, so there is no reason not to pick this up! Read Full Review

Comic can't always be bright and cheerful. Scott Snyder, Jock, and Matt Hollingsworth are taking us down a dark path while introducing us to a different world of witches. It's not often a comic can reach inside you and affect your emotions. We have the feeling of some really bad and gruesome things coming even thought this isn't a super violent or gratuitous comic. If you want a comic that's going to take you to a darker place, you'll want to read this. We are becoming immersed in the lives of an innocent family and it's been so easy to actually care what happens to them. If you're looking for a book that will give you goosebumps or fill you with dread, get on board with this one. Each month I feel hesitant to open the book and turn the pages but at the same time, I can't resist. Just try not to read it alone at night. Read Full Review

Snyder does well in placing bits of information deliberately and conspicuously to keep our attentions focused. It'slike a bit of sleight of hand when a magician leads us with one hand while the other hand prepares a surprise, but it's effective as a way to keep the plot threads spinning. Pairing that withJock's acumen in getting the story told visually creates a dynamic that's bigger than any one piece by itself. In terms of the themes " the words and art have a synergy that produces a swell that works like a pulse that beats harder and faster. I didn't expect to have the characters come this quickly into the thick of things, and the shock of it all " the quick escalation " will keep readers from getting comfortable. The title is called Wytches for a reason, and they're here " and they're terrifying. Read Full Review

What else can I say except buy Wytches and experience what made Snyder a name in comics in the first place. This is a really scary read and slow burn. I often get impatient for the next issue but in the case of Wytches it is simply unbearable. I'm keeping this series at the top of my pull list and I dare you not to do the same. Read Full Review

If you havent started reading Wytchesyou really need to rectify that. It really is pretty much flawless, from writing to colours, artwork to concept, and its my second favourite current title (sorry, Saga wins outright for now). My only problem is that its monthly, which while its helpful for my bank account just means I have to wait longer for each issue. Read Full Review

With the Rooks family beginning to unravel, and some new horrors on the horizon, issue two raises more questions than it answers"in a good way. Wytches already has me stumped as to where it will lead, and in a refreshing turn I'm happy to be in the dark about where this book's heading next. As long as there's a nightlight on.

Wytches #2 is a solid second issue for the series, but is missing the mark just a tad compared to the first. While the story and horror elements to the comic are excellent, the series is going just a bit too quick and revealing too much for its own good this early on. It feels like it should be spreading out and building up the tension and the reveal of these elements a bit more slowly in the first arc. That being said, if you liked the first issue, you are definitely guaranteed to like the second issue. Read Full Review

If you enjoyed the first issue, there's no reason not to pick up Wytches #2. Snyder is a strong writer, but always seems to be at his best when working on his own projects, and Wytches is shaping up to be a masterful story. Read Full Review

But despite how much this issue reveals, it raises more questions than it answers, and Snyder gives new additions to the mix that subvert much of what we've come to learn so far. And there is the lingering concern posed at this issue's open: a world where wishes come true is nightmarish, and as Charlie and Reggie conclude, "we all know how that ends." We know how hard Sailor wished for something bad to happen to Annie " so how will this end for the Rooks family? Though some things may have been revealed too prematurely in Wytches #2, Snyder is continuing to give us more about the titular wytches and what role they will fill in the Rooks family's lives, delivering a compelling and eerie second chapter to his series.

Wytches is a scary series but doesn’t lack the keen emotion Scott Snyder is capable of writing. There’s an alarming sense of urgency throughout this comic that brings out the best of the horror genre. If you’re a fan of Scott Snyder or horror comics you owe it to yourself to pick this series up. Read Full Review

The strongest element of the art has to be the actual wytches themselves. Without spoiling anything, the reveal is highly creepy and properly freaked me out and left me feeling almost terrified. They are some of the most unsettling and eerie character designs Ive seen in a comic and left me feeling shaken walking away from the book. This is a scene that will be remembered for quite a while and will definitely stick with you. An absolute stand-out moment of art and story working perfectly hand in hand. Read Full Review

The biggest problem with this issue is that nothing too substantial happens. Past plot points are merely expanded upon, and future plot points are teased. This issue reads more like an extension of the debut, but it's hard to complain much about that. It is incredibly well-done and effective, making for a great comic that considerably amps up excitement for the next issue. Read Full Review

It's not always clear what you're looking at in the issue, but you know it's something good. Read Full Review

It's not all empathy-building, atmospherics and ominous hints in Wytches #2. Having created a backdrop of paternal love and simmering anxiety, Snyder and Jock unleash some straight-up ghastly creatures. This issue builds steadily to a triple cliffhanger, and I don't think Sailor's parents are going to be acting like she is imagining things for too much longer. I recommend Wytches for anyone who likes to be creeped out, but even non-horror people will appreciate this portrayal of a very loving, very stressed-out father. Read Full Review

"Wytches" is solid horror that just borders on being overhyped. Read Full Review

Wytches #2 is an eerie page-turner that offers many new questions and continues an enjoyable supernatural thrill ride. Read Full Review

Issues aside, there are plenty of pieces here in issue #2 that show the kind of book Wytches can be. Snyder and Jock are moving in some creepy and surprising directions, and it won't be long till we're all pledged for good. Read Full Review

Wytches #2 builds on the unsettling vibe of the first issue. While we dont learn too much more about the wytches, we do learn more about the Rooks family, which is just as important. I think Snyder and Jock have to continue building the characterization of those three while also starting to establish what is really happening out in the woods. Read Full Review

There is little time to breathe in Wytches #2 as the characters deal with the events from the debut issue. Scott Snyder does a great job of ramping up the scares, but in doing so at such a pace, we've lost some of the dread that made the first issue such a shot in the arm. Read Full Review

"Wytches" is about the dangers of not knowing the past and the truism that "wherever you go, there you are." In other words, there's no running away. Sailor has realized this quickly, and again, Snyder plays with convention in not stretching this out, letting the creatures show themselves and having Sailor confront them very early in the game. This saps these old twists of some juice, but it's also an indication of Snyder's ambition that he's rearranging a classic plot trajectory into something new and unpredictable. Read Full Review

Wytches is an overall interesting story coupled with mystical colors (props to Hollingsworth). Pick up Wytches #2 this week; Snyder and company are off to a pretty solid start with this series. Read Full Review

The concerns I raised in my last review are still bouncing around my mind as I flip through issue #2. In addition, with the encounter with the wytches themselves in the flesh, things are also progressing a little quickly for my tastes. I wish there was more atmospheric tension. Given the above mentioned relationship between classic witches and community, my hope is that Snyder explores this more in upcoming issues. It's touched upon a little with her classmate interactions, but I would love to see something more built between Sailor and her new town after fleeing from the previous one due to Annie's disappearance.

Really well developed. Great artwork and fantastic writing!

Great writing, and incredible artwork. Wow!

Stunning!

Kind of feels like stretching the story but its so good!!!

After reading "Wytches #2" I was as scared as the first time. Snyder's capability in creating a weird and frightful situation is majestic. The child at the hospital, Annie at the pool window, and the jaw-dropping ending stayed with me for the whole night in a combination of terror and excitement for the following issue. Jock was even stronger on this one, introducing to us the monsters this is all about. I don't know how will this go on, but still.

I need more of this.

More good stuff from Snyder and Wytches. Read it!

This doesn't reach the baffling heights of the first issue, but it's certainly still an exceptional read. There was a mistake with one of the word balloons not being the "over the phone" format that was a little confusing at first, and occasionally the art doesn't flow as clearly as it could. Hopefully the art team will get into their groove by the next issue. I can't wait for next month, it's rare for me to have no clue as to what will happen next.

I think this issue was even creepier than the first. Good storytelling. Freaky happenings. And nice art all show up in this issue and help make this a new series with potential.

I'm not as impressed as everyone else. The story is great. Jock's art is serviceable and creepy when needed. Hollingsworth's color palette is through me off. Mute the colors a bit, and this book will be much creepier.

I give up on this.
