Melba is assigned to her first case, investigating a series of child disappearances in rural Georgia. As Melba and Agent Crockett uncover clues about the horror gripping the residents, Melba must resist both the temptation to escape into the real world after spending seven years locked up and the terrible appetite of the newly unleashed Polly Peachpit, Melba's own personal psychic parasite-a massive spider-human only Melba can see, but is far from imaginary.

    Weird Science - Josh Vermillion Jan 6, 2018

    This may be a much slower-paced issue than the first, but it provides some character work as we see this world laid out for us. With great art and an interesting premise, Tim Seeley is delivering a great book through 2 issues. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a fun story with a hint of creepiness as well.
