5.0

Volume 1 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Volume 2 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Goddamn, this series is so good but it's so painful. Given that child death is my single biggest trigger - in fact, I would say it's probably my only major trigger - you really wouldn't think I'd be drawn to a graphic novel series that solely revolves around child-eating monsters, but here we are.

Seriously, though, if you're not turned off by the innate content of the plot, this series is a gem. It's truly creepy and unsettling, but it also has incredible characters that are immensely flawed, yet impossible not to care about. I can't wait for Volume 3 so I can see what sort of pain James Tynion IV is going to inflict upon me next.
