Let me start this review by saying that this one is just a preview for the entire comic book. And I read it because I wanted to see if the full comic book was worth the money and time I would spend on it. And I’m gonna give you the answer for that at the end of this review.

This preview sets up a narrative centered around psychological tension and mystery. Which I personally found to be very interesting and intriguing. Because I tend to love stories about the psychological mind fuck mystery and horror.

This preview has a concept which is engaging and has the huge promise of suspense and depth. Which really shown how much potential this preview had. 

The storyline is very interesting because it is about all the things I love in horror and mystery stories. But at times the storyline in this preview seems somehow underdeveloped which left me wanting more depth and details to the storyline to fully be interested enough to buy and read the full version of this comic book. 

The characters in this preview had a lot of intriguing potential. But the potential in this preview wasn’t used fully in my opinion. 

The main character in this preview shows signs of complexity, though their full depth and motivations are not completely explored in the preview.

When it comes to the side characters in this preview, I gotta admit that they were pretty average in this preview. Because they don’t have a lot of personalities which makes them standout as much as the main character. 

The writing style in this preview conveys a sense of tension and unease, which work very well with  the narrative’s psychological themes of this preview. The writing style is very clear and engaging though the preview could benefit from more detailed world-building to enhance immersion.

This preview tries to give us the themes of perception, reality, and psychological exploration are touched upon, offering a thoughtful layer to the narrative. While these themes are compelling, their exploration remains surface-level which really left me with mixed feelings if I wanted to read the full version of this comic book.

So will buy and read the full version of this comic book ? Yes I will. It might take some time for me to actually read the full version of this comic book because I have been way too optimistic when creating my TBR list for this year and I don’t know if I get the time to read the full version of this comic book this year. But I will read the full version of this comic book at some point in time.

I Give This Book 3 / 5
