A brand-new ongoing series from the acclaimed bestselling creative team of Old Man Logan and Green Arrow! The lives of a reclusive young man obsessed with a conspiracy in the city's trash, and a washed-up Catholic priest arriving in a small town full of dark secrets, become intertwined around the mysterious legend of The Black Barn, an otherworldly building that is alleged to have appeared in both the city and the small town, throughout history, bringing death and madness in its wake.
Rural mystery and urban horror collide in this character-driven meditation on obsession, mental illness, and faith.
Of the new number ones from Image this week Gideon Falls is not my favorite. That will go to Prism Stalkers. It isn't even my second favorite because that goes to Kirkman's new book. Though Gideon Falls is a great 3rd place to have (Image had a damn good week). Image has some real winners this week and I have yet to read Firebug. What holds this great comic back for me is the art. I a just not a fan of mushy faces that are iconic with Sorrentino. I loved Sorrentino's Old Man Logan but his characters never look quite distinct enough me and they don't show the expression I would like. That doesn't mean he can't draw scary setting and a great ghostly figure. Jeff Lemire continues to be on of the top 5 comic writers alive today. The pace is great and by the end of issue anyone would be hard pressed not want to know more. I feel like Gideon Falls is the horror and suspense comic that many wanted Black Munday Murders to be. I think if you like Black Munday murders you will likely love Gideon Falls. I am on the fence if this book will be in my monthly pull list or I will add it to my list of trades to pick up. My early feeling is that I will love reading this book by the volume more than as a monthly. That has been the case for me with Redlands, Saga, and Lazuras. Image really makes a great book and they always have series in backlog I like to jump back in on and read a complete story.
