Proctor Valley Road #2 by Alex Child, Grant Morrison
3.0
adventurous dark mysterious fast-paced

I'm still enjoying this, although I'm far more interested in the road and the creepy seven foot bipedal hyenas than I am anything that goes on in town, which is fun but seems a little like filler. (I don't care that the text refers to those creepy beasts as coyotes. They are giving off major hyena vibes to me, and they are TERRIFYING. I read an article once by a woman who'd been attacked by a hyena, and ugh. I can't honestly say it made me stop liking the species, because they've always creeped me out and are one of the few animals I cannot warm to, but I say again, UGH. Which is all not really relevant here, but still.)

The Landlady thing is mysterious and all, but I can't help but feel, for the moment, as if it belongs in another comic. I may change my mind as the story goes on, but going from the hyenas to her felt a little jarring. Maybe it's just because, creepy as she is, she's nowhere near as disturbing as those furry, slavering monsters. *shudders*
