I do not think that there can ever be enough books about anything and I say that knowing that some of them are going to be about Pilates.The more knowledge the better seems like a solid rule of thumb, even though I have watched enough science fiction films to accept that humanity’s unchecked pursuit of learning will end with robots taking over the world.-Sarah Vowell

Winnebago Graveyard by Steve Niles (Writer), Alison Sampson (Artist and Design), Stephane Paitreau (Colorist), Eiko Takayama (Colorist), Aditya Bidikar (Letterer), Sarah Horrocks (Essayest), Casey Gilly (Essayest), Claire Napier (Essayest), and Anna Tambour (Essayest)


This is a horror comic with lots of blood and guts, but very little horror. Sure there are Satanists, at least I guess they are Satanists, as they wear robes and draw a pentagram and make a sacrifice at the beginning of the book. They kill a man they have captured and eviscerate him and then bring him back to life as their brother. He kills the woman he was with.

Cut to a later time and a boy and his mother and stepfather who are traveling in a Winnebago and they see a carnival and stop to have a look. Unbelievably, they decide to leave their cell phones inside the Winnebago. They ride the rides and play the games. They are like the only ones there though. They decided to check into a house bed and breakfast that is more like the Hotel California.  Through the window, they see the hooded figures and become curious and go outside to look.

This will, of course, put them into trouble. They will stumble across an empty Winnebago lot that shows how many people these guys have been busy with.  Why only Winnebagos, I don't know.  They see them performing a ritual and realize they need to escape, but it's too late as they won't all make it out alive.  I didn't particularly care for this comic. It was predictable and offered up nothing new or exciting. I cannot recommend it.
