"Everyone who was invited to the house knows Walter-well, they know him a little, anyway. Some met him in childhood; some met him months ago. And Walter's always been a little...off. But after the hardest year of their lives, nobody was going to turn down Walter's invitation to an astonishingly beautiful house in the woods, overlooking an enormous sylvan lake. It's beautiful, it's opulent, it's private-so a week of putting up with Walter's weird little schemes and nicknames in exchange for the vacation of a lifetime? Why not?

This entire series is perfection and I hope that it continues. At the same time, it is perfect and whole and needs nothing else. It transcends genre, it surpasses all expectation. I've recommended it to people who never read comics and they've all loved it. I frequently exclaimed out loud while reading because it affected me in ways that had to be expressed.

I enjoyed reading this TPB and I can't wait to read the next one. The end of issue 6 had one of the many tropes involved here but I have to admit that many of the angles and ideas are new from James Tynion IV. Still tropes never looked this good with Alvaro Martinez Bueno on art duty. The guy is fantastic with his concepts, character design, angles, moods and inks. But just as important was Jordie Bellaire's colors. She killed it and I haven't seen coloring like this before. Some pages didn't work as well but man the majority were FANTASTIC!! I suspect it reads better collected since I had trouble remembering characters' names a few issue in which was annoying. Why have people with names/attributes/jobs and keep switching back and forth? more
