Whoa this was WAY more fun than I expected.

Not to say I expected something bad here. This is Joe Hill, and even at his worst, he still always tells a interesting tale. No, I was expecting a gritty horror book based on the cover but I was glad to be wrong, this was over the top, horror fun, with a 80's vibe, and super interesting colors/art design.

Our main character, June, is visiting her boyfriend Liam over the summer. This guy is training to be a police officer of some sort and has been living with the chief of police at his house for the summer. Soon into the story we learn 4 convicts have escaped and they are coming after Liam! June is on the run and when they come after her too she has no choice but to fight back with her AXE!

This is super fun, over the top, and kind of loved it. June is a great protagonist, weird, exciting, and full of life. It's her actual strangeness yet her eagerness to help people that made me love her. Then you have the rest of the cast, who are all pieces of shit, but man oh man are they fun to have around. When June has to fight back you root for her 1000% and it's so much fun.

The art is fantastic. a Mix of cartoony 80's style art, but also light and colorful at times mixed with gritty moments. The emotions are clearly displayed and love the way a lot of the characters are design.

The ending is fantastic wrap up and well worth the read here. This was one of my favorite horror comics/books I read recently because of its playfulness. A 4.5 out of 5 but I'll bump it to a 5.
