Sink: Welcome to Glasgow
by John Lees
Whoa! Talk about knocking it out of the park. I was pretty excited to check this one out after my friend kept telling me about it but I was so blown away when I finished this one. You guys want a great horror comic? Look no further!
So what is Sink? Well, it's 5 different issues that all have their own tale to tell. It's actually pretty great because they somewhat connect in different ways, all leading back to Glasgow, but very different stories as they go. The first story introduces you to the mean streets but also Mr. Dig, the mascot of the series. You might notice him since he has a big Fox head, which is just magical by the way. Then the next story is about a cleaner who takes care of dead bodies with a super interesting twist by the end. Issue 3 focuses on a Trans character heading back into her old life but will it work out in her favor? Issue 4 deals with 4 kids wanting to get revenge for their missing friends and beating the shit out of the "Clowns" who basically psychos running around hurting and killing people. Last issue is about a girl losing her dog but then decides to go the Kingpin and...well some interesting things happen.
Good: Holy smokes issue 4. I can't say enough good things about it. I loved this issue so much it might go down as my favorite single issue of the year. It's epic, it's chilling, it gets you scared, yet it makes you cheer at times. It also begins to connect the dots to other characters. Issue 2 is also amazing in a depressing way. The ending is tragic but in a surprise way. I really enjoyed the remaining 3 issues as they all go for brutal horror to more tension filled horror. It balances it really well. To top this all off the art is wonderful and it gives the series dark/gritty feel it needs.
Bad: Honestly nothing.
This is easily one of my favorite comics of the year. John Lee has a knack for creating believable characters that you get attached to very quickly yet still give you chills and dark moments throughout. Sink is one you should be checking out! A 5 out of 5.
