Ratings and reviews

This book revolves around a small town called buckaroo and the curiosity of why serial killers are from this place. The main characters are town Sherif, an FBI agent and few other significant characters present in the town. I think the illustrations are main highlights of this book. The story boards are well laid out, captivating and of course filled with gore and bloody scenes of murder. It keeps the reader very engaging. But with that being said the plot seems to be stretched for a long time and the mystery isn't worth the wait in my opinion. I think Warren's character was rather confusing and was just a filler. Overall I would say, it did feel a bit cliche with the story. And I would give this comic series 3 out of 5.

Cool intro to a series. Interesting concept, the small town being the birth place to a bunch of serial killers. Short read, cool art. I'd definitely try the next issue to see how the story develops.

Easily my favorite comic book series. If you are a fan of 80s horror movies, this is the book for you.
