Hmh
Ovo sam tek malopre pronašao...
Ne znam da li će se ovo posle pojaviti u nekom delu, ali...
Kratko, efektno, britko, zastrašujuće, uznemirujuće,... HUH! I sve to na manje od 10 strana!

Eu tenho que confessar que essas oito páginas me chamaram atenção, a história ocorre de uma forma discreta e sombria com bastante suspense em nos mostrar os personagens, mas a melhor parte e que me fez ter vontade de ler o próximo foi o final, já que a história é muito curta por se tratar de uma introdução. Mas falando sobre o final. O que foi aquilo? O que é aquilo? Estou ansioso pelo próximo, preciso devorar.

Os traços da HQ são bonitos, mas não muito diferentes de traços de outras mil histórias em quadrinho. Vale lembrar que eu não entendo nada sobre essa parte técnica das HQs, mas o traço me parece muito batido e parecido com outros muitos traços, apesar de o nome do ilustrador ser desconhecido pra mim.

Eu vou me dar a chance de ler os outros volumes para criar uma opinião menos vaga a respeito do que acho da história, mas por enquanto é: estou gostando.

It's not merely the first few pages of Issue #1, but an actual preview. It's about a brother visiting his sister who lives out in the woods. They're different characters from those in the main Wytches story and don't spoil anything. Instead this preview sets up the world and what you can expect--mainly, just how far the storytellers are going to go. Children are definitely not safe. So if that's something that's going to unnerve you, pass this over; don't read this.

I'm not going to spoil it, but it's an actual horror comic. Not horror-lite urban fantasy, but actual horror. Read it. It's free and only 7 pages or so. Just have Wytches, Vol. 1 handy, because you're going to want to read what happens next.

If you're squeamish, however, you should probably avoid this series. It's really dark and scary and pretty much undoes all the goodwill witches have earned with Harry Potter. And the series only gets more intense.

Finally, if you like this preview, yeah, you're going to read the rest of the series. But if you like this one, you'll probably also enjoy The Witch: A New England Folk-Tale (2015). Again, it's a story that makes witches scary again. Forget the cone hats and wriggly nose, instead they've more in common with the malicious cannibal crones.

Addendum: This preview is in the Wytches Volume One. It's included as a bonus in the end, not as a prologue to the main story.

I am not into horror. Despite that - and this is really a scary story - I wanted to know more about this world Snyner created. It really achieved its purpose to lure me into the woods. Who would you pledge?

This one intrigued me. It caught my attention and left me wanting more and to find out what happened.

Me convenceu a ler a hq inteira e me deixou EXTREMAMENTE curioso.

Intriguing enough start.

Too short to make a a judgment but it seems like it could be decent.

The whole series is very cheap on Amazon at time of writing.

I sampled this before buying the first volume. Seems to hold its promises and looks quite spooky, and it definitely has me intrigued. The art work isn't really my favorite thing, but it definitely does the job of giving it the creepy vibe it needs.

This was just weird... The art isn't my favorite..

Excelente!!!

No me esperaba nada de este "preview" y terminó siendo brutal y aterrador, el giro que da la historia es impresionante.

Cool story and great art!

This is a really cool new take on one of the oldest mythological ideas in human history. The art is great and the color choices really make each page pop.
