On the night of the Autumnal Equinox, all paths lead into the forest. Read Full Review
As the penultimate issue it did exactly what I wanted by pushing the story almost to conclusion without quite revealing everything and leaving things on a very tense cliffhanger. I will be sad to see this series end but it has been an enjoyable yet chilling adventure. Read Full Review
The Autumnal is set to wrap up in the next installment and it's hard to tell if this is going to be a good end or a dark end. Both could legitimately work but I'm hopeful that if they do go the dark way that they embrace it and go all-in on it. Kraus' work here definitely hits a sweet spot with the way we get the reveals and conversational tone for everything and the way Shehan and Wordie are able to deliver the whole thing with such an eerie nature makes me really appreciate the medium all the more. It's hauntingly beautiful. Read Full Review
The whole series has been building to this moment. Kraus and Shehan manage to build up so much tension, delivering one of the most nerve-wracking comics I've read in a long time. It's especially impressive given this issue is mostly dialogue driven. Kat has fallen into the clutches of the Autumnal Society. Will she be able to save her daughter in time? Or has she already fallen under the spell of Clementine Biddle?
