The story starts out with two young boys who find themselves at the entrance of a cave in the woods. They enter and their lives and the world as we know it are changed forever!!!!! This book is SO DENSE I should have read it twice in a row. It is so full of imagery and symbolism, references to other literature, movies and sub culture.
The story follows a group of young children who call themselves The Wrenchies in a time where children are the only humans left. 20 somethings get changed into demons/zombies who work for the adults, and the children plan to kill them all in order to stay alive on the shit world they live in now.
We catch up with the first two boys later on in the story and find out that the reason the planet is like this is because of them, and the only way to save Earth and help it to heal is to find the two boys. The Wrenchies is a story of magic, fantasy, regret and youth. Its no wonder this book cannot stay on our shelves for more than 1 day since it came out in September. I think this book is going to be a classic.

Gotham by Midnight -- Issue #01
Commissioner Gordon has a secret team of police that work the midnight shift in Gotham protecting, surveying and taking care of supernatural occurrences throughout Gotham.
These two girls who had been missing show up at their parents house but aren't speaking a known language. Their parents are concerned and call these guys in to help them out.
They figure out that the girls have been possessed by something, or have been really close to death recently. The issue ends with these two dudes going into the woods and finding an eerie school room cabin full of other children sitting in a classroom and a demon nun writing on a chalkboard. Once they open the door to that school room, the two girls at their parents house lose their marbles and start going crazy.
Once again, hard to really tell if I am down with this story or if I want to read further because of these damn cliffhangers.

Outcast - Issue #01
Spooky for sure. But I'm also into it.
Horror comic about demons and exorcisms. It seems as though this poor guy has been trying to live his life but everyone he loves keeps getting possessed by demons, his mother, his wife, etc etc.
He struggles to come to terms with this (obviously) and figure out why he seems to have the skill to exercise these demons. Non-believers think that he is trouble and abusive, so he isn't allowed to be in contact with his family any longer.
The art and writing is very intriguing. The story and concept are very dark but I can't stop reading!
