Disturbia meets The Conjuring in this new 3-issue horror thriller from Zenescope!
A Catholic Deacon and his family relocate to a suburban New England home that's long been rumored to be haunted by an evil entity. As his teenage daughter, Erica, begins to adjust to her new life, her ongoing bouts with sleep paralysis worsen and she begins to wonder if there really is a presence inside the home. When two of Erica's high school friends are brutally murdered, she starts to suspect the creepy neighbor who she's seen watching her through his window. The Watcher # 1 Blank Sketch Cover C also Available!
Overall, The Watcher #1 is a story that mixes coming of age tropes with supernatural and horror elements. That changes the paradigm on the genre. The story by Ralph Tedesco and Victoria Rau is horrifying, smart, and exciting. The art by the creative team is stunning. Altogether, a story that looks to make the reader jumps out of their socks and does it exceedingly well. Read Full Review
