3.5

Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

WAY bloodier and more graphic than I was expecting any Archie Horror to get. I've read almost every Archie Horror comic and I feel like they never get quite this brutal. 

But it was fun! 

Saw the ending coming from a mile away. But I don't think that means it's bad or a cheap twist or whatever. 

I feel like 3 issues/96 pages just is NOT enough for this. Really needs another 2 or three issues because it just goes by so fast. I don't know what's going on in the characters' heads. It feels like life altering plot points are happening every two pages. It's just overwhelming. I wish more comics would have longer runs because it's hard to breathe when you have to cram an entire storyline into under 100 pages. Hell with all the ads, it's probably closer to 75 pages.
