Gideon Falls, Vol. 1: The Black Barn
by Jeff Lemire
When Lemire writes a good story it's really hard to not want more.
This is telling a story of two very different people trying to solve the same mystery. This Red Barn is a source of evil. Something, or someone, is forcing innocent people to go crazy and murder others. Through this story we focus on a priest coming to a village and trying to fit in after priest goes missing but we soon find out he might not be. Then we have a story of a crazy guy picking up trash and learning the secrets of the red barn.
Good: love the hell out of the pacing. Really quick paced and never boring. Characters are all really well done and intriguing. I also enjoyed the twist and turns.
Bad: the art kind have reminded of outcast. Which I like but took me out of it for a bit.
Overall really enjoyable. Not alot is told and probably have more questions than answers by the end but I'm in it for the ride! 4 out of 5.
