Posle odličnog drugog dela sledi tromiji treći u kome nema baš nekih dešavanja...
Osim toga, sve ono što je dobro u prva dva nastavka ostaje i dalje ravnopravno dobro i u ovom.
U svakom slučaju nastavljam dalje - interesuje me kako će se sve ovo završiti.

hmm.. i feel myself losing interest on this one. the only thing that keeps me going is who pledged sailor? and what does this random bald lady want?

since i’m halfway done i know i’ll get my answers. i mean, hopefully if they do indeed give us answers.

we don’t see any of the wytches in this issue, but we do get to learn more about the parents 🤷🏻‍♀️

If you have watched Stranger Things, you will feel familiar stuff in this issue. Tree holes, police not believing a thing you are saying, a lost kid and a mystrious monster.

Yet such are way more effective in TV than in comics. Thankfully, Jock can draw these nightmarish elements rffectively, capturing the dread and fear in the characters.

Halfway down, (the series is in hiatus now) I can't wait to see what will happen in next.

This series is already going into multiple prints. and sold the film rights two days after the first issue came out! If you haven't yet started reading Wytches, You should start soon. Great Series!

Best yet. Snyder afterward was fucking brilliant.
Hollingsworth's splatters continue to amaze me.

Read in Wytches, Volume 1. A creepy take on witches in the woods. Once you're pledged, you're pledged. There is no escaping the wytches.

#3 - Sailor is gone, and her dad is worried.

An exciting witch story with great artwork. Fun to read.

It lacked a little of the pizzazz in the last part, but I'm still super invested.

Esse foi com certeza o pior volume. Não teve emoção, não teve suspense, não teve explicação sobre nada. E me pareceu mais uma encheção de lingüiça para ganhar dinheiro.

A história poderia muito bem passar sem esse volume chato e monótono. O que mais me chateia é que no volume e anterior a história tinha crescido e parecia que iria crescer ainda mais. E então, eles matam a própria história e fazem uma droga dessas.

Muito chata, tão chata e parada que nem tem o que falar sobre.

To be honest with you…I have no idea what's going on with this comic. However the art it's really good, with splashes of paint, and really disturbing horror images within it. It's starting to become my favourite horror book right now.

I was going to say, "These get under my skin," but realized what a terrible pun it was.

[Kevin Schnurr · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another phenomenal issue. Scott's afterword on dealing with raising children in our chaos-filled world was really well written.

Overcome by the strange happenings that wont leave her alone, at the end of the last issue Sailor stole a school bus and drove it into the woods. Now her parents and the police have found the crashed bus but no sign of Sailor.
The issue opens with flashbacks to an event in her childhood playing hide and seek with her parents in a playground, while her father worries about her anxiety.
In the woods, her father is reluctant to leave the searching up the the police as he is sick with worry for his daughter and addled by the attack he experienced by a crazed legless woman at the end of the last issue. He finds what seems to be his brother Reggie trapped in a tree, but before he can rescue Reggie, the police show up and tell him that nothing is there.
We learn that the dad used to be an alcoholic and that Sailor has been writing strange things about the bump on her neck, about how it seems to have a mind of its own that wants to go into the forest.
At the end of the issue, the dad finds a clue about where he might find Sailor.

:D good

[bugsbunnyreads · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really am enjoying it so far but also goddamn I love the art.

[Undomiel Books · Rating 5 out of 5]

This series is getting really really good now. It's taken an entirely different turn to what I had expected, and I'm okay with that (my prediction was boring!) I am still obsessed with the artwork, and think that the Wytches are truly the creepiest thing I've ever seen illustrated in a piece of fiction. I can't wait to get stuck in to the second half of the series!

Charlie and Lucy have called the cops and are in the woods searching for Sail. The cops are useless, big surprise there, and everyone, including Lucy don't believe Charlie's story about the decrepit woman, much less when he describes what she told him - - that Sail was never his daughter, that someone really has it in for the Rooks family and has pledged Sail to the Wytches, and there's pretty much nothing he can do about it, coz that lump in her neck is a "homing device", Sail is already with them.
The woman stabs Charlie in the navel and tells him to come find her when he's ready. But when he wakes up, he can't find any scars, further adding doubt to his story.
So, he storms off, marches into the woods and comes upon Reg locked up in the hollow of a tree, but isn't there when he returns with help. Whoa! Crazy alert!
Lucy needs him, so they go back home to wait for Sail to turn up. While in the bathroom, the scar on his navel transforms into a map, a map that shows the woman's location.

you should know i love a good horror story. but this isn't that type of horror story. well, it is, but too, it's not. it's more about the fears parents have about protecting their children. i find the stories told at the back of the book, after the art, but before the reader letters, to be very insightful. Snyder is giving up his secrets, and in this issue he admits that what the story is really about is a parent's fear of losing their children. be it physical or mental. frankly the mental side scares me more, a champion of intellect. His note about how his son refuses to give the fearful parts of the toothfairy power by only partly believing in her is brilliant. art wise the lines are jagged and strong. the watercolor splatter effects i find distracting, but i guess they can't show you what the wytches look like straight on, the old Hitchcock let your mind fill in the dark blanks.

[Margaret Topel · Rating 3 out of 5]

I like this one because it's spooky and horror. I don't read enough horror graphic novels! However, I would complain that some of the spatter effects can detract from the readability of the panels. As a bonus, I enjoyed the story Scott Snyder put in the back of the issue. Sad but thought provoking. Not enough actual wytches in this issue tbh, but I liked the explorations into the family.

[Adrian Alvarez · Rating 4 out of 5]

Things start picking up in issue #3. So far I enjoy the riff on man vs. nature though, as with a lot of Snyder's work, I find myself wondering how far he will go with the "monstrous feminine." I'm hooked, however, and I will likely continue reading these books.

[Rachel MacNaught · Rating 4 out of 5]

Well this was unsettling.
A bit too convenient in the final pages where someone's location is puzzled out, which took me out of the story and made the final frame look cheesy. But I was skincrawllingly creeped out and interested in who the heck pledged who.

The art in these issues. It's too beautiful for words.

Still creepy but amazing art.
